Product Description
Product Overview
The DST Single Diaphragm Stepped Clamp Coupling is a precision flexible coupling designed for servo and stepper motor applications. Featuring a high-strength aluminum alloy hub and a 304 stainless steel diaphragm, this coupling delivers zero backlash, high torsional stiffness, and low inertia – ideal for high-speed, high-precision motion control systems.
Key Features
Aluminum Alloy Hub – Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable
304 Stainless Steel Diaphragm – High elasticity, high torque capacity, excellent flexibility
Zero Backlash – No rotational play, suitable for forward/reverse operation
High Torsional Stiffness – Accurate rotational control for precision positioning
Low Inertia – Optimized for high-speed applications
Clamp-Type Locking – Secure, non-marring shaft attachment
H7 Bore Tolerance – High concentricity and precise fit

Design & Operating Principle
The DST coupling consists of two aluminum hubs and a single 304 stainless steel diaphragm. The stepped clamp design ensures secure shaft mounting without damaging the shaft surface.
How it works:
When the clamp screws are tightened, the hubs grip the shafts firmly. The stainless steel diaphragm flexes to accommodate small angular, parallel, and axial misalignments while maintaining high torsional stiffness and zero backlash.
Applications
Servo motor drive systems
Stepper motor positioning
CNC machinery
Robotics and automation
Precision indexing tables
Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
Food packaging machinery
Printing presses
Medical devices
Solar tracking systems
