DRE distance couplings

Mechanical shaft exiting from end pieces with elastomer inserts with split clamping hubs with two sides. Max. basic length 3000 mm. Max. torque range 12.5 – 525 Nm. Ideal for synchronizing drive axles over large distances. High torsional stiffness. Optionally laser welded, stainless steel, or with carbon tube.
DRE distance couplings
- KBK line shafts with elastomer connectors are flexible shaft couplings that allow long distances to be covered.
- Torque transmission is backlash-free and vibration-reducing thanks to the cross element.
- It acts as a compensation element for the drive shaft and determines both the characteristics of the clutch and the drive system.
- To modify these properties, cross elements with different Shore hardnesses are available.
- Always a perfect fit!
- We manufacture our linear shafts exactly to the lengths required by our customers.
- Backlash-free guide shaft
- Lengths up to 3000 mm available
- For synchronous operation of two axes and for covering large distances between shaft ends.
- Vibration reduction by one spider element per clutch side
- Easy radial assembly
- Torque range from 12.5 to 525 Nm
- Hub material: aluminum
- Spider element: polyurethane
- Tube: aluminum
- Hub bore tolerance: H7
- Optional keyway according to DIN6885
- Longer versions up to 6 m on request!
