COUNTEX® Coupling for Encoders & Tachometers

KTR have once again shown their dedication to being a leader in the latest innovations of coupling technology with the new COUNTEX® Coupling. COUNTEX® is a three part, backlash-free, torsionally stiff coupling used mainly in measuring and control technology, such as encoders and tachometers. The compact design of the coupling is characterised by its simple assembly, reliable performance and suitability for use in confined spaces. The double cardanic design allows the coupling to compensate for all potential misalignments with minimal restoring forces. The axial “plug-in” of the coupling ensures an easy blind assembly. The coupling has aluminium crown shaped hubs on the outside diameter, with a toothed cage made from temperature resistant nylon. The hubs are secured against axial movement by means of set screws. COUNTEX® is mainly used on shaft encoders and tachometers where it can be used in temperatures of up to 160˚C. The first COUNTEX® Coupling available was a size 14 with rated torques of 1Nm and maximum bore diameter of 14mm. KTR has now extended the range to include the smaller size 6 COUNTEX® Coupling with a rated torque of 0.3Nm and maximum bore diameter of 6mm. The coupling is available from stock at KTR with a range of bore sizes. For further information, please contact us.
