Safety and shaft couplings in hygienic design
The coupling manufacturer ENEMAC from Kleinwallstadt , a supplier of stainless steel safety and shaft couplings for more than 40 years , has always been oriented towards the strict hygiene regulations of food production as well as medical and pharmaceutical technology . This has resulted in a wide range of stainless steel coupling variants . The range includes safety couplings for reliable torque limitation in packaging machines or filling plants and shaft couplings for backlash-free torque transmission made of stainless steel .
The ECR torque limiting clutch , for example , is designed for indirect drives such as sprocket or toothed belt drives and offers infinitely adjustable disengagement torques between 15 Nm and 350 Nm .
The EWC metal bellows coupling , for nominal torques between 5Nm and 1,000Nm , consists of a stainless steel bellows , stainless steel hubs , and stainless steel screws . In order to comply with the regulations , the parts are joined using the micro-plasma welding process .
Also made entirely of stainless steel is 44 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
For less demanding environments , ENEMAC also offers many safety couplings as corrosionprotected variants .
the EWR type metal bellows coupling in half-shell hub design . This is particularly suitable for use in systems that are difficult to access , where space is limited and where the input and output units are rigid or cannot be moved . The type EWR covers a torque range from 10 Nm to 1,200 Nm .
A shaft distance of up to 3 m can be bridged with the stainless steel spacer coupling EWLC . This shaft distance coupling consists of two metal bellows couplings which are connected by a variable-length intermediate pipe . This shaft coupling , which is also made entirely of stainless steel , can thus compensate for misalignments of a considerable magnitude and can also be used as a backlash-free connecting , cardan or synchronous shaft . The EWLC type is available in 7 sizes for nominal torques of up to 1,200 Nm .
For less demanding environments , ENEMAC also offers many safety couplings as corrosion-protected variants . Special hardening processes are used to nitrocarburise or gas-nitride and then oxidise the main components of the torque limiters . The installed cup springs are coated and balls and ball bearings are made of stainless steel . This makes these types of couplings suitable for many outdoor applications and wherever moisture could become a problem .
