A full line of precision sleeve couplings that now includes new bore styles to accommodate hex, square, threaded and different size shafts has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.
Stafford precision sleeve couplings feature a solid center section with the Accu-Clamp design, which incorporates integral self-centering clamping collars at both ends for mating two shafts with zero backlash and axial runout less than 0.001" TIR. Easy to adjust and securely clamp, the full line includes a straight smooth bore with a keyway and new stepped, hex, square and threaded bore versions.
Offered in 1-PC, 2-PC, heavy duty and customizable styles, Stafford precision sleeve couplings are available machined from aluminum, steel and stainless steel. Providing a close tolerance fit on ground shafting from 0.5” to 1.5” OD, the integral collars assure precise shaft alignment.
Related Glossary Terms
- backlash
backlash
Reaction in dynamic motion systems where potential energy that was created while the object was in motion is released when the object stops. Release of this potential energy or inertia causes the device to quickly snap backward relative to the last direction of motion. Backlash can cause a system’s final resting position to be different from what was intended and from where the control system intended to stop the device.
- outer diameter ( OD)
outer diameter ( OD)
Dimension that defines the exterior diameter of a cylindrical or round part. See ID, inner diameter.
- tolerance
tolerance
Minimum and maximum amount a workpiece dimension is allowed to vary from a set standard and still be acceptable.
- total indicator runout ( TIR)
total indicator runout ( TIR)
Combined variations of all dimensions of a workpiece, measured with an indicator, determined by rotating the part 360°.
