Type OC, Oldham Couplings Oldham couplings are good all-around flexible OEP Couplings' type OC Oldham coupling couplings. They exert consistently low reactive compares favorably with Oldham couplings from forces, even under large radial misalignment, and other manufacturers in almost every important provide homokinetic transmission (driving and performance metric. The OEP type OC has driven shafts rotate at the same speed at all higher torsional stiffness, longer service life, times). These zero-backlash couplings have high and more consistent performance from one torsional stiffness,...

Type OC Options: Materials for midsection: Delrin© -- for general use; low friction, long wear. High-temperature high-performance thermoplastic: For hightemperature or for more demanding applications. Low-friction-coated machined Urethane: Torsional dampening of a jaw coupling with misalignment accommodation and low reactive forces of an Oldham coupling. Materials for hub: Shaft attachment options: Anodized aluminum Set screw without keyway Brass Set screw with keyway Stainless steel Clamping without keyway Clamping with keyway blind bore thru bore blind bore thru bore two blind bores one...

The OEP type OI Oldham coupling differs from the classic Oldham type OC coupling in that the fins on the OI are longer, actually overlapping as seen from the side. As a result, the OI lacks the OC's mechanical fuse feature: Failure of the OI from excessive torque destroys not just the midsection, but typically the hubs, and the load is rarely fully disengaged from the driving side of the system. Therefore, type OI is more suited to applications where the designer wants the two shafts to remain coupled at all costs, while retaining all of the other advantages of an Oldham coupling, including...

Oldham/Universal couplings offer all of the OEP Couplings' type UC Oldham/Universal advantages of a conventional Oldham coupling differs from any other currently on coupling, with the added angular flexbility the market in that it has a one-piece machined of a universal joint. The OEP type UC hub and a one-piece machined midsection. coupling accommodates large radial This allows for much tighter dimensional misalignment, and angular misalignment control, and compared to other manufacturers' up to 6 degrees, while exerting relatively couplings of this type, the UC has higher small reactive...

The OEP type UI Oldham/Universal OEP Couplings' type UI is, at the time coupling differs from the UC in one very of this writing, unique -- there are no important way: The fins are longer, and other manufacturers that offer an the grooves in the midsection are deeper, Oldham/Universal coupling with one-pc so that the fins overlap as seen from the midsection and with coplanar axes of side. The axes of the two fins lie on the the two cylindrical fins. The closest same plane, rather than being offset from comparable products are rated for much one another as they are in the type UC. lower peak...
