ROTEX® GS
The three-piece ROTEX GS elastomer coupling from KTR is a backlash-free servo coupling under preload. Due to different hub designs and shore hardnesses it is the optimum coupling solution for any application in automation technology.
The ROTEX GS servo coupling is designed for drives which have to position exactly, since this coupling has such a high torsional stiffness despite its vibration damping properties that no compromises in accuracy have to be made.
The ROTEX GS is available in different hub designs made of aluminium or steel, which can be combined within one coupling size. The hubs of ROTEX GS are available with or without keyway.
Furthermore, this elastomer coupling from KTR compensates for axial, radial and angular misalignments.
