Product catalog summary
Overview: JAKOB Antriebstechnik GmbH specializes in manufacturing servo and safety couplings, particularly torsionally stiff metal bellows couplings and safety couplings for the servo drive industry. The company is known for its innovative clamping technology, offering high clamping forces with low actuation torques.
Product Range: The catalogue outlines JAKOB's standard product range, including safety couplings for indirect and direct drives. Key products for indirect drives include SKB, SKW, SKR-K, SKR-N, SKVA-N, SKVA-K, and for direct drives, SKB-KP, SKB-EK, SKVA-KG, SKVA-EK.
Definition and Importance: Safety couplings are essential in automated processes to protect machinery from damage due to errors, acting as torque limiters and overload protection to minimize downtime and repair costs.
Performance Characteristics: JAKOB safety couplings provide optimal overload protection, precise torque transfer, stepless disengagement torque adjustment, and automatic reengagement, designed for high-speed operations with low moments of inertia.
Technical Information: Key parameters include Nominal Torque (TN) for maximum load, Moment of Inertia (JK) for medium hub-bores, Torsional Stiffness (CTK) for torsion angle failure, and allowable misalignments (axial, angular, lateral).
Dimensioning: Couplings are dimensioned based on torque, torsional stiffness, shaft diameter, and maximum load, considering bearing load, operating temperatures, speeds, and maintenance.
Installation Instructions: Detailed instructions are provided for shaft-hub connections, emphasizing care during fitting and disassembly to avoid damage.
Modular System: The modular system allows customization with attachments like pulleys, gears, and flanges for different applications and conditions.
Specifications: Safety couplings are available in various series (SKB, SKW, SKR) for different applications, including high-speed operations up to 4,000 rpm, with a backlash-free torque transmission system adjustable for disengagement torque between 40% and 100% of nominal torque.
Design and Functionality: Couplings use a play-free ball detent mechanism with steel balls and a disc spring system for high torsional rigidity and dynamic release behavior, minimizing residual torque to a maximum of 10% of the set release torque.
Applications and Recommendations: For vertical drive axes, additional measures like compensating weights or brakes are recommended. Torsionally stiff couplings are suggested when fitting an encoder to the drive motor.
Installation and Adjustment: Instructions are provided for setting release torque using adjusting nuts and clamping rings, emphasizing adherence to procedures for proper functioning and longevity.
Additional Features: Optional features include corrosion protection, labyrinth seals for dirt protection, and special versions for specific locking mechanisms, with customization for higher disengagement torques and material requirements.
Technical Data: Includes tables with dimensions, torque settings, and specifications for different series and sizes, highlighting suitability for various load and speed conditions.
Overview of Couplings and Clamping Technology: Series SKB-KS and SKB-ES feature conical clamping hubs for high clamping forces, with ES-hub allowing blind fitting. Series SKD/SBE/SK-F are designed for long run-out times with minimal residual torque, re-engaging through reverse rotation. Series SKB-WA includes an adapter shaft for universal attachment. Special series offer customized hub versions, high operating speeds, and special re-engaging functions.
Safety Couplings and Additional Series: Highlights power clamping solutions like Power Clamping Nut Series MDA, Power Clamping Screw Series SC, Power Clamping Nut Series MCA, Spring Clamping Cylinder Series ZSF/ZDF, and Power Clamping Screws, offering various clamping forces and mechanisms.
Contact Information: Provides contact details for JAKOB companies, including OTT-Jakob Spanntechnik GmbH, ALLMATIC-Jakob Spannsysteme GmbH, JAKOB Antriebstechnik GmbH, and OPTIMA Spanntechnik GmbH.

Drive Technology Safety Couplings I General Definition – Safety Couplings: Due to the constantly increasing automation and dynamics of modern work processes, the devices which protect the complex and expensive units against damages in case of errors are becoming more important. JAKOB safety couplings reduce expensive machine damages, repairs and downtime by acting as torque limiters and overload protection absolutely reliably. JAKOB safety couplings are the life insurance for your machines, no matter whether the error occurs due to incorrect operation, programming error, material overload or...

Drive Technology Couplings I Dimensioning Technical Information - Definitions / Details: Nominal torque of the coupling: TN - [Nm] The nominal torque of the coupling defines the max. load of the prolonged alternating-stress strength. If in normal operation, TN is not exceeded, an infinite number of operation cycles can be carried out (see d „durability“). The values for the moment of inertia are defined for medium hub-bores in the given diameter range Dmin/Dmax. Conversion: [kgcm2] = [10-4kgm2] Torsional stiffness: CTK - [Nm/arc min] The values for the specific torsional stiffness of all couplings...

Drive Technology Couplings I Dimensioning c) according to shaft diameter: After selecting the coupling type, it must be checked whether the requested shaft diameter corresponds with the allowed diameter (Dmin / Dmax) of the hub bores. Another coupling type or size must be chosen, if the shaft diameter is overdimensioned in relation to the torque, which means it is larger than Dmax of the hub. note: hub bores which are smaller than “Dmin” are possible, but an optimal transfer of the nominal torque cannot be guaranteed in this case, so a reduction of the drive torque is necessary. d) durability:...

Drive Technology Couplings I Installation Instructions Alignment of shafts: Axial and angle misalignment are usually without problems and also simple to measure. To obtain the lateral misalignment, it is recommended to proceed as follows: Fit a dial gauge with an appropriate holding device on one shaft end or on one hub of the coupling and bring the feeler onto the second shaft end or onto the second coupling half (sketch). Now the shafts are turned with the dial gauge and the deflection is read. One half of the total deflection is the lateral misalignment. The admissible value for the shaft...

Drive Technology Safety Couplings I Modular System The safety coupling modular system, consisting of three standard assemblies and several special variants, enables a solution for almost every application. Depending on the application, various add-on elements can be attached to the release mechanism to be attached. For indirect drives, belt pulleys, gear wheels or corresponding connecting parts are flanged on. In the case of direct drives, the release mechanism is supplemented with metal bellows or an elastomer coupling part to compensate for any shaft misalignments. The main selection and design...

• Drive Technology Couplings I Technical Information The degressive spring characteristic The function of the JAKOB safety couplings is significantly influenced by the disk springs specially developed for this application. Due to the design in the degressive characteristic curve area, the spring force decreases with increasing spring deflection (switching travel), which means that the torque drops immediately when it responds. With usual Spring-loaded overload clutches, on the other hand, increase the spring force and the release torque, e.g. T. significantly. This results in an undefined functional...

Drive Technology Couplings I Technical Information The disengagement torque is generally steplessly adjustable between about 40% and 100% of the nominal clutch torque. If no setting is specified by the customer, the maximum torque (nominal torque) is set. The set, static disengagement torque can easily be readjusted by turning the adjusting nut or the adjusting ring on the machine using a hook wrench. For this purpose, the setting rings of all series are provided with a user-friendly label and the set release torque as well as a marking for the minimum and maximum release torque (Tmin, Tmax)...
