JAKOB safety couplings are the result of decades of continuous research and development as well as the experience gained from thousands of different applications worldwide. They are structured as a modular system.
The modular safety coupling system consists of three standard series, each of which when combined with different attachments result in customized solutions for the specific requirements.
For indirect drives, pulleys, gears etc. can be mounted on the couplings to customize it for the application. For direct drives the safety coupling unit can be attached to metal bellows, elastomer spider or membrane hubs to obtain a safety coupling capable of compensating shaft misalignments also. The main selection criteria for safety couplings are the torque to be transmitted, required torsional stiffness, existing shaft diameters the installation environment as well as the operating factors, temperature and shaft misalignments.
