Workpieces measuring up to approximately 50cm are typically clamped manually and mechanically using three- or four-jaw chucks, or automatically through pneumatic or hydraulic means. However, when dealing with larger workpieces, planar disks come into play. These disks securely hold much larger parts in place using jaw boxes and tensioning spindles. Users can select from 7 […]
continue readingHigh-Speed with KG-HS
With the KG-HS coupling series, JAKOB Antriebstechnik offers a high-speed version of the popular KG metal bellows coupling. It is manufactured with clamping hubs in a splitted hub design on both sides. Assembly and disassembly are no longer difficult, even in cramped installation conditions. The rotationally symmetrical clamping hub ensures optimum balancing quality, the secure […]
continue readingPopular series more variable KG-VA, KGH und KGE
The versatile metal bellows couplings of the KG-VA, KGH and KGE series from JAKOB Antriebstechnik have been expanded. They were previously available in 2 and 4 corrugated versions; the 6 corrugated bellows have been added. This means that the series can be used even more flexibly, longer shaft distances can be bridged and larger offsets […]
continue readingMetal bellows coupling KXL – For big achievements
Safe and accurate transmission of torques is essential for precision drives of cross cutters. This is ensured by the use of steel bellows couplings with force-fitted shaft-hub connection. The metal bellows couplings of the KXL series from JAKOB Antriebstechnik GmbH were designed for medium and large drives up to a maximum of 65,000 Nm. A […]
continue readingResistant – Elastomer coupling EKM-VA
Jakob’s product range of elastomer couplings has been expanded to include a new variant, the EKM-VA. This stainless steel variant of the proven EKM coupling is particularly characterized by its resistance to chemicals, which makes it particularly suitable for applications in the food industry, for example in cleaning processes. The elastomer couplings are pluggable, backlash-free […]
continue readingSKB-KP – Torque limiter for direct drives expanded
The tried-and-tested SKB-KP series safety coupling has been used for decades to provide mechanical protection for drive units. It has already proven its effectiveness in hundreds of applications, especially when used as collision protection in the feed axes of machine tools. As a combination of a metal bellows servo coupling and the unique JAKOB safety […]
continue readingDependable and affordable
Over decades in the market, it has proven itself to be a reliable and cost-effective standard series among metal bellows couplings: the KM metal bellows coupling by JAKOB Antriebstechnik. Like all metal bellows couplings, it is rigid in rotational direction but flexible in axial, angular, and radial directions. Despite the similarities, metal bellows couplings can […]
continue readingZuverlässig und kostengünstig
Seit Jahrzehnten hat sie sich auf dem Markt als zuverlässige und kostengünstige Standardreihe unter den Metallbalgkupplungen bewährt: die Metallbalgkupplung KM von JAKOB Antriebstechnik. Wie alle Metallbalgkupplungen ist sie in Drehrichtung steif, aber in axialer, winkeliger und radialer Richtung flexibel. Trotz der Ähnlichkeiten können sich Metallbalgkupplungen stark voneinander unterscheiden. Die technischen Unterschiede liegen zum Beispiel in […]
continue readingHow to choose a suitable servo clutch
In order to choose a suitable clutch for the drive train, various factors must be taken into account. Particular attention is paid to the required torque range, offset and ambient temperatures of the coupling. First, the maximum required torque is determined. The coupling should be selected accordingly, whereby long-term use in overload or absolute limit […]
continue readingWie man eine geeignete Servokupplung auswählt
Um eine geeignete Kupplung für den Antriebsstrang zu wählen müssen verschiedene Faktoren berücksichtigt werden. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dabei dem erforderlichen Drehmomentbereich, dem Versatz und den Umgebungstemperaturen der Kupplung. Zunächst wird das maximal benötigte Drehmoment ermittelt. Die Kupplung sollte entsprechend ausgewählt werden, wobei eine dauerhafte Nutzung im Überlast- oder absoluten Grenzbereich vermieden werden sollte. Die Fehlausrichtung […]
