Metal bellows couplings

Product information / Design
Typical characteristics of metal bellows couplings Backlash-free transmission of torque High torsional stiffness, precision of transmission of rotational angle Different torsional stiffness Backlash-free shaft connection Small dimensions, low moment of inertia Compensation for radial, axial, and angular misalignment Free of wear, maintenance-free, no standstill period Not sensitive to temperatures between -30 C and +100 C, higher temperature ranges available on demand Simple and operationally safe assembly Economical and user-friendly due to modular system Nominal moments between 0.4 - 5000 Nm Backlash-free, torsionally stiff metal bellows couplings are ready to install when delivered. The metal bellows are made of anti-corrosive steel, all other parts are manufactured from aluminum or steel and partly have an environmental friendly protective coating. As a standard, the boreholes are equipped with a fitting in accordance with ISO-H7. For the shafts, we recommend an transition, e.g. H7/g6. When selecting other shaft fitting, the fitting should not exceed a maximum of 0.03 mm. The power transmission between the coupling hub and the shaft occurs through compression and friction between the contact surfaces. Special attention must be paid to the tightening torque of the retaining screws as well as the perfect condition of the contact surfaces. The contact surfaces must be free of oil and grease. Types with a keyway are available. The torques indicated in the lists of Technical Data can only be safely transferred if these points are complied with. Otherwise it would be necessary to make compromises.

The dimensioning in accordance with the torque

Metal bellows couplings are generally designed according to the nominal torque stated in the lists of the Technical Data below. The nominal torque must always be higher than the regularly transferred torque. This generally applies to the use of servo motors, whose acceleration moment in positive and negative directions is much higher than the nominal moment. The use of metal bellows couplings which are put in controlled, high dynamic drives, the following dimensioning values have proven to be reliable in practice: K = 1,5 K=2 K = 2,5 4 for evenly shaped movements for unevenly shaped movements for jerky movements

For Servo drives within tool making machines, the values for K of 1.5 - 2 should be used.

In general, the following relationships apply: T KN K x T AS x JMach JMot + JMach = [Nm]

Metal bellows couplings

Design
Design with consideration for dynamic torsional stiffness. Although metal bellows couplings are backlash-free and torsion-rigid, it should not be overlocked that they link two rotating masses. In disadvantageous cases like torsion springs the couplings can effect a high stiffness. The hunting of the drives and the harmonic oscillation in the armature current of the motor, e.g. thyristor industrial drives with low pulse number must therefore never be within the range of the mechanical resonance frequency. fres = 1 CT dyn x JMot +JMach = [Hz] JMot x JMach that it would not be within the range of clearance diameter from most applications. Various levels of torsional stiffness are available as standard versions. We would be pleased to design your metal bellows couplings for you. Feel free to use our experience and know-how for your success. Speak to us.

In practice the resonance frequency fres must be twice as large as the excitation frequency of the drive. For most normal drives, e.g. NCmachine tool, this will be between 150 and 350 Hz. In the development of metal bellows couplings this factor was given special consideration. The dynamic torsional stiffness CT dyn was selected so

Ball screw

The low moment of inertia of the metal bellows coupling is disregarded. K = Load factor, impulse factor selected for this drive K = 2 Design according to torque: TKN K x TAS x JMach JMot + JMach = 2 x 160 Nm x
17 x 10-3 Kgm2 (18,3 + 17) x 10-3 Kgm2

= 154 Nm

Coupling selection: AKD 200, TKN = 200 Nm, CT dyn = 116 x 103 Nm/rad. The metal bellows coupling is sufficiently dimensioned, since 200 Nm 154 Nm. Design according to resonance frequency: f res =
1 2

CT dyn x JMot + JMach = 1 2 JMot x JMach

116000 Nm/rad x

0,0183 + 0,017 Kgm2 0,0183 x 0,017 Kgm2

= 578 Hz

The arithmetic calculation is clearly much higher than the expected resonance frequency.

Metal bellows couplings

Assembly instructions
Assembly Clean shaft ends and bores in hubs, degrease and check the tolerances. Insert both shaft trunks into the hubs of the metal bellows coupling, and firmly tighten the screws, after examining the axial installation dimensions. The tightening torque of the screws and the maximum approved misalignment should not be exceeded (refer to list of Technical Data). Alignment Figure 10 illustrates the individual types of misalignment. The fitted metal bellows coupling must now be aligned. Please check the values indicated in the lists of Technical Data. If several types of misalignment appear simultaneously, then each of the individual values should not be exceeded. Moreover, they should be aligned. The total of the real misalignments in percentage of the maximum value should not exceed 100%. Figure 9 shows how to regulate. The more precise the alignment, the more reserves are available to handle additional misalignments for operation. This will have an advantageous effect on the service life, balance quality, and the accuracy of transmission. If several types of misalignment occur at once, then the values must be lower than each of the maximum values. Dismantling After loosening the backlash-free shaft-hub connections, the drive can be pulled apart and the metal bellows coupling can be removed. Conical bushings for Series AK are forced off with a hexagonal socket screw. Please ask for our detailed assembly instructions.
