FAQ

Common questions about this series

Bellows couplings: what size range does the table cover?

This page covers 3 series (JB-1, JB-2, JB-3-T) with 18 catalogue sizes: bores from Ø4 to Ø42 mm, rated torque 0.8–130 N·m. Finished bores, keyways and clamp variants are machined to your shaft; sizes outside the tables are made to drawing.

Bellows couplings: what is it and when should I use it?

JB series bellows couplings: a metal bellows flexure with high torsional stiffness, zero backlash and high transmission accuracy, compensating misalignment in all three axes. For high-precision positioning, servo, metrology and semiconductor equipment. Bellows couplings give the highest torsional stiffness of the zero-backlash types, so they are used where positioning accuracy and dynamic response matter most: ball-screw drives, measuring machines, encoders and servo axes. They compensate all three kinds of misalignment but are not for shock or damping duty.

Bellows couplings: can I order a size that is not in the table, or just one piece?

Yes. Everything on this page is made to drawing, and the table is only the standard-size subset of the catalogue. Minimum order quantity is one piece — we routinely make single replacement parts for OEMs whose original supplier has discontinued the item. Send a DWG, STEP or PDF drawing (or a sample part): you get a formal quotation within 24 hours after the information is complete, and the first article ships within 30 days of drawing approval, with inspection records.

Bellows couplings: what do I need to send to get a quote?

Send: shaft diameters and lengths on both sides (with keyways or clamp preference), rated and peak torque, speed, the misalignment you expect (angular, radial, axial), space available (outside diameter and overall length), operating temperature and whether the drive is servo/positioning or general. A drawing or STEP of the two shaft ends is ideal; a sketch with these values is enough for a first quote.
