Product Description

DFC Series Aluminum Curved Jaw Coupling – Zero Backlash, High Precision, OEM Customizable

Factory direct | High-strength aluminum alloy | Zero backlash | 300 N·m torque | 2000 RPM | Urethane spider | Detachable design

The Apexcoupling DFC series is a precision curved jaw coupling (also known as a spider coupling or jaw coupling) designed for high-performance power transmission. Featuring zero rotational clearance, it is ideal for applications requiring positive and negative rotation with absolute precision. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy with a urethane spider element, this coupling offers excellent wear resistance, damping characteristics, and compensation for radial, angular, and axial misalignment.

✅ Zero backlash design – suitable for servo motors, CNC equipment, and precision automation.

Product Structure

  1. Two Aluminum Hubs – High-strength aluminum alloy, precision-machined with curved jaws.

  2. Urethane Spider Element – The elastic insert that transmits torque, absorbs shock, and compensates for misalignment.

  3. Clamping Screws – Secure fastening to shafts.

💡 The curved jaw profile ensures a press-fit with the spider, eliminating backlash and providing smooth, precise torque transmission.

FAQ

Q: What is a curved jaw coupling?
A: A curved jaw coupling (also called a spider coupling or jaw coupling) consists of two aluminum hubs with curved jaws and a urethane spider element. The curved jaw profile ensures zero backlash operation.

Q: What does “zero backlash” mean?
A: Zero backlash means there is no rotational clearance between the hubs and the spider. This ensures precise torque transmission with no lost motion – critical for servo motors, CNC machines, and robotics.

Q: What is the standard bore size range?
A: Standard bores range from 5 mm to 8 mm. Custom bores are available on request.

Q: What is the maximum torque and speed?
A: Rated torque is 300 N·m and maximum speed is 2000 RPM. Higher torque and speed ratings available for custom designs.

Q: What spider materials are available?
A: Standard is urethane (polyurethane elastomer) – resistant to oil, dirt, sand, grease, moisture, and ozone. Different hardness levels available for specific damping and torque requirements.

Q: Can the coupling compensate for misalignment?
A: Yes. The urethane spider compensates for radial, angular, and axial deviations.

Q: Is the coupling easy to install?
A: Yes. The detachable design allows for easy installation and maintenance without moving connected shafts.

Q: Can I get custom anodizing?
A: Yes. Anodizing is optional – choose your color for enhanced corrosion resistance and appearance.
