GK Cardan couplings with threads

Linear universal coupling with external and internal threads. Transmitted forces: 200 – 13,000 N. Size: 18 – 100. Rigid axial coupling for mounting linear motors – allows for very smooth compensation of shaft misalignment! Optionally available in stainless steel.

GK Cardan couplings with threads

• A universal coupling for backlash-free connection of two components.
• Compensates for very large radial and angular misalignments of the shaft with very low restoring forces.
• Used as a linear coupling, e.g., for mounting linear motors.
• Simple connection thanks to the combination of internal and external threads.
• Transmits large axial forces.
• Also available in stainless steel.
• Force transmission range: 200 – 13,000 N.
• Wide temperature range: -100 ~ +250°C.
• GK operates on the principle of a universal joint.
• However, the hubs are not attached to it but move along it in sliding bearings.
• Not only compensates for large radial and angular misalignments but also has exceptionally low restoring forces.
• Thanks to the use of special sleeves and guides, they are durable, very stiff, and designed practically without backlash.
