About Double Loop Flex P Coupling Huco
The double loop coupling uses a moulded plastic element permanently swaged to steel or stainless steel hubs to give a compact design. It forms an effective two-stage coupling with exceptional flexibility in all three modes. Ideal for transmitting rotation in small drives, this type of coupling works without any friction, wear or noise, although its low torsional stiffness makes it less suitable for high precision positioning applications.
Exceptional flexibility in all three directions: radial, angular and axial.
