Couplings
Flexible Shaft Couplings
C-Flex couplings are designed to connect two rotating shafts, accommodating large misalignments while transmitting high torque loads with zero backlash. Their construction ensures a low moment of inertia and minimal impact on system dynamics. A large through hole allows for smaller couplings to fit larger shafts, and the ability to disassemble before installation makes them ideal for retrofit applications. These features make C-Flex couplings an efficient and versatile solution for various mechanical systems.

Durable and Reliable Construction
C-Flex couplings are constructed using high-strength hardened stainless steel or glass-impregnated polyamide flexures, ensuring no maintenance is required for years of trouble-free operation, even in contaminated environments. These couplings are directionally independent, providing the same torsional rigidity and offset capability regardless of rotation direction.
