In an effort to address increased demand for its SERVOMAX elastomer couplings in high speed spindle applications, R+W Coupling Technology has released a new ultra-precision model, SP6. Made with improved concentricity and perpendicularity, and higher grade materials, the hubs are capable of handling circumferential speeds of up to 80 m/s, and higher torque levels per size. The SP series also has an increased bore diameter capacity per body size, and adjustable positioning of the outer clamping ring, allowing users to fine tune the location during installation. With a choice of high strength aluminum or steel, the SP6 is available in 4 body sizes, with bore diameters ranging from 14 to 55 mm, torque ratings from 60 to 1350 Nm, and standard “off the shelf” speed ratings from 18,000 to 28,000 rpm with certified balancing for higher speeds on request.
