Tighten the set screws to fasten these couplings to your shaft. Set screws bite into the shaft to hold the couplings in place.

Each hub includes a set screw, which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place.

Able to handle high twisting forces as well as misalignment, these couplings are good for high-performance servomotor applications.

Connect shafts and ball screws to high-speed servomotors and stepper motors—these shaft couplings handle four times more speed than standard servomotor couplings.

An acetal plastic spacer at the center of these couplings insulates bearings, encoders, and other shaft components from stray electric current. Use them with servomotors, which sometimes generate current that travels down the shaft and can damage circuit boards, interfere with readings, and cause wear on bearing raceways.

The thick split spider on these couplings takes on twice as much torque as standard split spiders, while a set screw holds the hubs in place on your shaft. Also known as jaw couplings, use them to connect motors to pumps, mixers, and other high-torque equipment.

Each hub includes a set screw, which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place.

Safely connect slightly misaligned shafts near food lines—the spider on these couplings contains metal, so it’ll trigger a metal detector if a piece frays off and contaminates your batch.

Customize the bore of these flexible couplings to align uncommon shaft sizes as well as shafts that have become undersized from wear or oversized from coatings.

A strip of flexible spring steel wraps around the teeth of both hubs to absorb sharp, momentary load increases that can come from motor startups, emergency braking, or sudden impact with hard objects.

A flexible tire on these couplings safeguards components on your shafts by reducing vibration and shock.

With a rigid gear design, these steel couplings transmit more torque than other couplings of the same size.

Magnetic force transfers torque from one half of these couplings to the other; there’s no contact between the parts, so they won’t wear. Couplings compensate for angular and parallel misalignment.

When one of your shafts is undersized from wear, oversized from coatings, or uncommonly sized, machine one end of these couplings to fit. They clamp around your shafts for a secure hold that won’t cause damage.

When you need a strong hold and even grip on shafts that are oversized due to finishes, undersized from wear, or uncommonly sized, we’ll make a coupling for you that fits just right. These couplings clamp around your shafts to prevent marring them.

Install and remove these shaft couplings without disconnecting the shafts, motors, and other attached components—they’re made in two pieces so you don’t need to slide them onto shaft ends. They’re also useful when you have limited access to the ends of the shafts.

These couplings have the gripping strength to handle higher torque than most other couplings.

Machine the pilot hole in these couplings to whatever size you need. Often used for shafts that are undersized from wear or oversized from coatings. These couplings are two-piece, so you can remove and reinstall them without moving your shafts.

Support the weight of a motor and transfer torque to another shaft at the same time with these couplings.

These U-joints are made of steel or zinc.

These steel U-joints meet MIL-U-20625A Class A and have hardened yoke ears for added strength and durability.

Stainless steel U-joints are more corrosion resistant than steel U-joints.

A set of gears transmit rotary motion at angles up to 136°—the widest angle of all our U-joints. They are for hand-powered, low-speed applications.

Joints have a fixed 2 1/2" overall length.

Customize the bore size of these joints to fit your shaft. Each end has a small centered starter hole that makes drilling easy.

Made of steel, these shafts are stronger than stainless steel flexible shafts.

Reduce the diameter of your shaft while adding length.

If they exceed maximum torque, these couplings disengage, sound an alarm, and then automatically re-engage once the overtorque condition is eliminated.

Often used in automated systems, these couplings are air actuated so you can adjust the torque during operation.

Also known as hysteresis clutches, these couplings use magnetic force to brake, control tension, and prevent torque overload. They have few moving parts, so they last longer than mechanical couplings.

Often used in automated systems, these couplings are both air actuated and remotely adjustable, so you can adjust the torque setting even during operation.

Also known as electric hysteresis brakes, these couplings use magnetic force to create drag to slow or stop the motion of your drive system.

Connect your grease gun to the fitting to lubricate.

These internally threaded rod ends have an eyelet and a ball that swivels to support angular misalignment. Also known as rod-end bearings.

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant to the rod end. Connect your grease gun to the fitting to relubricate.

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant throughout the life of these internally threaded rod ends.

An oil-embedded bronze insert slowly releases lubricant throughout the life of the rod end.

Made to extremely tight tolerances, these externally threaded rod ends are for applications that require positioning accuracy, such as accelerators and other types of control linkages.

With at least 55° of ball swivel, these rod ends accommodate greater misalignment than any other internally threaded rod end we offer.

Made of cadmium-plated steel, these externally threaded rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends.

Made of stainless steel, these internally threaded rod ends provide excellent corrosion resistance.

These anodized aluminum rod ends are lighter than stainless steel rod ends and have good corrosion resistance.

These internally threaded steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends.

These externally threaded steel rod ends handle loads that are at least 25% higher than other comparably sized rod ends.

These internally threaded rod ends have an innovative body design that keeps the ball from being pushed out when supporting thrust loads.

Decrease the ID of your rod end to allow approximately 60° of misalignment.

Use these linkages to create inline pivoting connections. They have internal threads on one end and external threads on the other.

Able to stand up to frequent use, these linkages offer excellent wear resistance. They consist of ball joint rod ends with a ball stud attached to simplify mounting.
