Description of functions
After investigating various coupling outputs for servomotors in conjunction with Siemens drive
converters, it was seen, that in many cases, the coupling outputs were the cause of vibration
problems. In order to achieve optimum drive output characteristics, ROTEX-GS couplings
from the KTR company should be used. The advantages of ROTEX-GS couplings include:
•
•
•
•
When it comes to mounting, the clamping hub without key is considered to be adequate up to
a coupling size of 38 and up to the specified torques that can be transferred (refer to the
appropriate motor configuration manual). It must be carefully noted that the friction locked
torque must always be adequately dimensioned according to the assignment to the particular
motor frame size. The accelerating torque also has to be transferred.
From a coupling size of 42 or as an alternative to the clamping hub, we can recommend the
version with clamping ring hub. This means that the maximum coupling torque can be almost
reached.
The investigations extend to include the vibration characteristics and behavior. The couplings
assigned to the motors permit higher speed control loop gains and therefore result in the
highest possible K
ROTEX GS couplings are available with 4 different plastic pinion gears with various Shore
hardnesses:

The adaptation to the existing machine masses and stiffness, which becomes possible, must
be determined, taking into account the mounted mechanical system.
