Zero-Max CD Couplings Provide High Torsional Stiffness for Torque Transducers and Test Machinery

Torque Transducers and Test Machinery experience extreme demands including high torque loads and high operating speeds which cause stress on connected components. To assure these systems generate accurate test data when experiencing these conditions, system designers specify CD Couplings from Zero-Max.

Utilizing Zero-Max’s proprietary Composite Disc-Pack (CD), CD Couplings are unique in design and provide the ideal combination of operating characteristics that improve the accuracy of torque measurements. The key characteristics of the Composite Disc design are: (1) high torque capacity, (2) high torsional stiffness, and (3) low reaction loads under misalignment.

CD Couplings designed for Torque Transducer and Test Machinery applications may be custom designed to the specific needs of the test machine and can be adapted to shaft-mount or flange-mount transducers. Zero-Max offers engineering services and decades of experience to help ensure the ideal design. Popular options include in-house dynamic balancing capabilities and a complete selection of shaft tolerances and shaft connections including keyless, keyed, splined, and other shaft designs.
