Resistant - EKM-VA elastomer coupling

A new series has been added to the elastomer couplings from Jakob. With the new EKM-VA, the proven EKM type has been given a stainless steel variant. Resistance to chemicals, such as those used for cleaning in the food industry, is one of the material's particular strengths.

Elastomer couplings are plug-in, backlash-free and flexible shaft couplings for all small and medium torques up to 2000 Nm. The connecting and compensating element is a plastic star with involute teeth and high Shore hardness. This is inserted positively into two high-precision hubs with claw-shaped cams with slight preload. The flexible coupling spider can compensate for minor shaft misalignments, is electrically insulating and has good vibration damping properties. Several standard variants with backlash-free, friction-locked shaft-hub connection are available, which guarantee reliable torque transmission even without an additional feather key. The EKM, ESM-A, EKH and EKS series with expanding cone are available in the standard range; individual solutions are also possible on request.
