Couplings

Couplings are responsible for the transfer and control of torque. WM Berg offers a complete line of couplings to meet the needs of all precision assembly requirements and operating conditions of every application. Each coupling product line contains different features, allowing each to be suitable for certain functions. Our couplings can also be modified to further meet the needs of the application.

spider couplings

Spider couplings are a class of coupling called shock absorbing couplings. As a result of flexible plastic members connecting their hubs, these couplings dampen vibrations and shock loads and electrically insulate shafting.

  • Sizes: 1/8" to 1/2", 3mm to 12 mm
  • Torque Range: 42 in/oz to 3520 in/oz
  • Range of Max. Para. Misalign.: .031"-.078"
  • Range of Max. Ang. Misalign.: 0°-1°

beam couplings

Beam couplings are a class of coupling called information transmitting couplings. These zero backlash, high torsional rigidity couplings are for precision positioning applications where constant velocity is required for accurate feedback control.

  • Types: Six beam flexible, three beam flexible, single beam flexible & Reli-A-Flex
  • Torque Range: 5 in/oz to 7,200 in/oz
  • Range of Max. Para. Misalign.: .004"-.038"
