Torsionally Rigid Couplings Enhance Servo Performance
Servo systems more often than not require that mechanical components have a high torsional stiffness in order to perform properly in applications requiring rapid acceleration and deceleration of high inertia loads. Flexible couplings usually have the lowest torsional stiffness of any component in a motion system. All too often couplings are selected based on factors…
