HKS(I) / HKDS(I) Safety Couplings

HKS(I) / HKDS(I)  Safety  Couplings

HKS(I) / HKDS(I) Safety Couplings

Product catalog summary
Overview: The HKS(I) and HKDS(I) safety couplings are designed for fail-safe encoder attachments operating under extreme conditions. They are reliable under dynamic load stress cycles due to a keyed shaft-hub connection and additional claws that ensure availability even if spring washers fracture due to overload.
Specifications:
  • Insulation made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic prevents shaft currents from damaging bearings on inverter-controlled drives (not for Ex applications).
  • Torsion resistant and backlash-free design.
  • Extended encoder lifetime and prevention of unplanned plant downtimes.
  • Overload events do not affect availability.
  • Safety couplings with ATEX / IECEx certification for Ex zones 1 & 2 (gas), 21 & 22 (dust).
  • Fault exclusion (PL e) to IEC 61800-5-2.
  • FEM optimized construction with high strength steel spring washers.
  • Designed for extreme operating conditions with no failure due to corrosion.
  • Optional insulation against shaft currents (not for Ex applications).
Mechanical Data:
  • Shock resistance: 100 g briefly (DIN EN 60068-2-27); 10 g permanent.
  • Vibration resistance: 20 g briefly (DIN EN 60068-2-6); 3 g permanent.
  • Max. torque: 3 Nm.
  • Temperature range: -50 to +120 °C; -25 to +85 °C (insulated version); -50 to +70 °C (Ex version).
  • Max. speed: 6,000 rpm.
  • Mounting precision: HKS(I) axial misalignment ± 1 mm; angle 0.5°. HKDS(I) axial misalignment ± 1.5 mm; radial misalignment ± 0.5 mm.
Certifications: Suitable for mounting solutions with fault exclusion (PL e) and use in potentially explosive atmosphere zones 1 & 2 and 21, 22 (ATEX / IECEx) for all non-insulated couplings.
Dimensions:
  • HKS(I) Types: L [mm] - 522, 532, 533 with varying L1 and L2 dimensions.
  • HKDS(I) Types: L [mm] - 522, 532, 533, 568 with varying L1 and L2 dimensions.
Bore Diameter: Ø d1 [mm] (Drive side) and/or Ø d2 [mm] (Encoder side) available in various sizes. Insulated couplings (without ATEX / IECEx certification) have Ø d2 available from 10 mm to 14 mm.
