The SureServo™ motors have keyless
shafts that are designed for use with
clamp-on or compression style couplings. Couplings using keys
and/or set screws
should NOT be used with SureServo™ motors as they are
likely to come loose or
damage the motor shaft. "Servo grade" clamp-on or
compression style couplings
are usually the best choice when you consider the stiffness,
torque rating, and
inertia.
Higher stiffness (lb-in/radian) is needed for better
response but there is a
trade-off between the stiffness and the added inertia of the
coupling. Concerning
the torque rating of the coupling, use a safety factor of 1.3
to 1.5 over the
SureServo peak torque requirement of your application.
