Relationship of the torsional angle and torque relative to each other for thefollowing couplings: ROTEX®, ROTEX® GS, RADEX®-NC andTOOLFLEX®
The graph illustrates the relationship between transmittable torque andtorsional angle. As a result, high torsional stiffness produces near linear,narrow curve, with the amount of dampening indicated by the area of thecurve. The high stiffness, low dampening capacity RADEX®-NC andTOOLFLEX® characteristic is indicated by narrow band and near linearprofile. In contrast, the ROTEX® coupling illustrates a broader curve with aflat center section where directional transition occurs, indicating strongdampening with backlash. The ROTEX® GS combines both by providing agood balance of dampening with zero backlash.
ROTEX® GS, TOOLFLEX® and RADEX®-NC are three different zero-backlash shaft coupling designs for servo drive applications.Depending on the required torsional stiffness of the complete system, selection from our standard platforms allows for optimizedcoupling performance while utilizing your installation preferences.

Function and Design ROTEX® GS - couplings suitable for horizontal or vertical applications are constructed from avariety of materials and geometries, providing a torsionally flexible zero-backlash platformoptimizing the balance between inertia, coupling performance and application requirements.The machined concaved jaws provide a pocket to preload the spider legs, allowing the spidersto articulate freely while accommodating misalignment, minimizing restoring forces, dampenshock and vibration, while providing failsafe zero-backlash torque transmission. The symmetricalrelationship of the hubs allows for a variety of accessories to accommodate different shaftdistances.
The unique geometry of the ROTEX® GS coupling minimizes spider expansion due todeformation at excessive speeds/loads as illustrated. In addition, a variety of spider materialsand durometers contribute to the dampening characteristics of the system. Unlike rigidcouplings, ROTEX® GS couplings not only provide adequate torsional stiffness, they alsoprovide dampening to the system. System tuning is achieved by proper spider selection,balancing torque capacity and dampening characteristics of the coupling.
Interlocking curved jaws with a variety of standard clamping options accommodates shafts up to 3.625 inches and a maximum nominal torque of 21,242 lb-in while still accommodatingblind assembly. As defined by the spider, ROTEX® GS couplings are suitable for moderatetemperature ranges. Together these features reduce the maintenance required during the life-cycle of the coupling.
General Description ROTEX® GS – couplings are designed to transmit torquebetween drive and driven components with zero-backlash viacurved jaw hubs and elastomeric elements, commonly known as spiders. The combination of these components providesdampening and accommodation of misalignment. This product is available in a variety of metals, elastomers and mountingconfigurations to meet your specific needs.

1. Definitions and factors for coupling selectionPreload/Prestress: Compression force applied to spider element to remove backlash. The amount varies depending on the coupling size and is dependent on production tolerances,
quantity of spiders and material. As a result the axial plug-in force will varying from low , as with a torsionally soft spider to heavy as with high torsionally rigid spider.TKN Rated torque of coupling
Torque which can be transmitted continuously over the entire permissible speed range, taking into account the operating factors (St, Sd).TKmax Maximum torque of coupling
Torque which can be transmitted during the full service life of the coupling as dynamic load ≥ 105 or as alternating load 5 · 104, taking into account the operating factors (St, Sd, SA).
TR Friction torque Torque which can be transmitted by the frictionally engaged shaft-hub-connection.
TAN Constant driving torque as per the data indicated by the driver manufacturerTAS Maximum driving torque as per the data indicated by the driver manufacturer
As in case of shock loads when driving with A. C. motor, for example during acceleration or breakdown torque of the A. C. motor.TS Peak torque [lb-in]
Peak torque on the coupling, calculated from max driving torque TAS, rotational inertia coefficient mA or mL and operating factor SA.St Temperature factor
Factor used when considering the lower loading capacity or larger deformation of an elastomer part under load as a result of elevated ambient temperatures. If ambient temperatures exceed 175°F ( 80 °C) we recommend to using the RADEX®-NC (see page 147).
Sd Torsional stiffness factorFactor used when considering the different amounts of torsional stiffness and fatigue strength of the coupling for reversing applications and couplings with 64 Sh D-GS hubsmade of aluminum. For positioning drives with increased demand on torsional stiffness we would recommend the use of the TOOLFLEX® or RADEX®-NC (see page 140 and 147).

Shaft misalignment ROTEX® GS design DKMThis design reduces the restoring forces arising with parallel misalignment to a minimum. The use of two jaw sets and increaseddistance between the hubs results in the couplings’ ability to accommodate higher axial and angular misalignment.
Axial misalignment Parallel misalignment Angular misalignment
2) The Ka figures mentioned above have to be added to the length of the correspondingcoupling design.
Angular misalignment is theangle created by the theoreticalbisecting lines of the shaftsintersects in the middle of thecoupling. The curved geometryof the coupling jaws allows forsmooth articulation of the jawsrelative to each other within theallowable limit. Thismisalignment occurs withoutextensive restoring forces.
Axial misalignment may resultfrom thermal growth or endplayof the drive or driven shafts.The coupling must isolate themisalignment from each shaft toprevent shaft bearings fromadditional axial stress.Therefore, the coupling axialmisalignment should be greaterthan the total amount possible
in the application in order to keep the reaction forces low.
Utilizing the curve jaw design, ROTEX® GS accommodates axial, angular and parallel misalignment between shafts with minimal frictionor wear. Due to the spider geometry and preload, the coupling will remain backlash-free throughout the coupling life.
Axial misalignment
Angular misalignment
Parallel misalignment is thedistance between shafts inrelation to each other created bymanufacturing tolerances ofpiloted surfaces or mounting baseplate variations. Parallelmisalignment produces the largestrestoring forces and consequentlycauses the highest stresses onadjacent components.
In applications with high misalignments (especially parallelmisalignment) the ROTEX® GS DKM double-cardanic design maybe used to avoid excessive restoring forces.
ROTEX® GS couplings accommodate parallel and angularmisalignments, but with all coupling designs, accurate alignment ofthe shafts will increase the service life of the coupling.
Misalignment values for flexible ROTEX® GS couplings are at therated torque TKN of the coupling with an operating speed n =1,500 RPM and ambient temperature of + 86 °F. The misalignmentfigures may, in each case, be used individually; however, if theyoccur simultaneously, they may only be used in proportion to thetotal allowable misalignment.

Coupling descriptionGeneral DescriptionTOOLFLEX® – couplings are designed to transmit torque betweendrive and driven components via metallic bellows. The combinationof these components provides high torsional stiffness, zero-backlash and accommodation of misalignment. This product isavailable in a variety of mounting configurations to meet yourspecific needs.
Function and DesignTOOLFLEX® - couplings suitable for horizontal or verticalapplications are constructed in a variety of geometriesproviding a torsionally stiff, zero-backlash platform optimizingthe balance between low-inertia, coupling performance andapplication requirements. The bellows design allows formisalignment and high ambient temperatures while remainingtorsionally stiff.
The bellows of the TOOLFLEX® coupling is connected viamechanical means thus ensuring uniform torque transmissionthroughout. Bellows are produced from high-grade stainlesssteel for corrosion resistance and improved performance. Thedouble-slit cross-clamp connection provides assembly easewith a single radial clamping bolt without deformation of thebellow when tightening the clamping bolt. For applicationsrequiring higher transmittable friction torque capacity, thedesign KN option with taper hubs can be used.
TOOLFLEX® is available with a variety of shaft mounting options. Itaccommodates shafts up to 2.188 inches and a maximum nominaltorque of 3,009 lb-in for high-pitch ball screws, indexing tablesand low-ratio gearboxes. As defined by the metallic construction,TOOLFLEX® couplings are suitable for elevated temperatureranges up to 392 °F (200°C). Together, these features reduce themaintenance required during the life-cycle of the coupling even intough environments.

Coupling selection
Pmax [lb-in]TKN [lb-in] = 63,025 • �����n [rpm]
TOOLFLEX® couplings are selected to the nominal torque (TKN) of the application and like other coupling systems, the torque (TKN)must exceed the maximum torque to be transmitted (accelerating or peak torque). This relationship should always be considered in servomotor applications because their acceleration torque can far exceed the nominal torque of the coupling. In applications with valuesexceeding TKN (collision, misuse) only limited alternating load figures are possible. In this torque range, there can be permanentdeformation of the bellow and fatigue fractures can occur.
Description Symbol Definition or explanationRated torque TKN Torque that can continuously be transmitted of coupling over the entire permissible speed range

RADEX®-NC Servo disc coupling
Coupling descriptionGeneral description
RADEX®-NC – couplings are designed to transmit torque between driveand driven components via metallic hubs and flexible disc elements. Thecombination of these components provides high torsional stiffness, lowinertia and zero-backlash with accommodation for misalignments. Thisproduct is available in either single or double-cardanic disc design tomeet your specific needs.
Function and Design
RADEX®-NC – couplings, suitable for horizontal or verticalapplications, are constructed in a variety of geometries providinga torsionally stiff, zero-backlash platform optimizing the balancebetween low-inertia, coupling performance and applicationrequirements. The disc design allows for misalignment and highambient temperatures while remaining torsionally stiff.
The disc packs of the RADEX®-NC coupling are available in sixsizes each optimized through finite elements analysis to ensuredesired performance characteristics. Discs are produced fromhigh-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and improvedperformance. The RADEX®-NC is supplied with pre-assembleddisc packs for easy assembly.
The RADEX®-NC accommodates shafts up to 2.188 inches and a maximum nominal torque of 1,593 lb-in for low-ratiogearboxes. As defined by the bellow, RADEX®-NC couplings are suitable for elevated temperature ranges. Together, thesefeatures reduce maintenance required during the life-cycle of the coupling.
Explosion protection use
RADEX®-NC couplings are great for power transmission in drives inhazardous areas. The couplings are certified to EC standard 94/9/EC(ATEX 95) as units of category 2G/2D and suitable for use in hazardousareas of zone 1, 2, 21 and 22. Please see the information included in therespective Type Examination Certificate and the operating and installationinstructions at www.ktr.com. Selection: When in hazardous areas, the clamping hubs without key (only for use in category 3 - with key for category 2) must be selected in a waythat there is a minimum safety factor of s = 2 between the peak torque(including all operating parameters) and the nominal torque and frictionaltorque of engagement of the coupling.

Coupling selection
Pmax [HP]TKN [lb-in] = 63,025 × �����n [rpm]
RADEX®-NC couplings are selected to the nominal torque (TKN) of the application and, like other coupling systems, the torque (TKN)must exceed the maximum torque to be transmitted (accelerating or peak torque). This relationship must always be considered with servomotors because their acceleration torque can exceed the nominal torque of the coupling. For applications with values exceeding TKN(collision, misuse) only limited alternating load figures are possible. In this torque range there can be permanent deformation of the discand fatigue fractures can occur.
