Composite Disc Floating Shaft Couplings
Click image to enlarge
Floating shaft couplings, also called spacer couplings, are three-part assemblies consisting of a floating tubular shaft with an integrated flexible coupling attached to both ends. Floating shaft couplings are designed to transmit torque and accommodate misalignment in applications where drive and load components are spaced far apart from each other.
Composite disc couplings (CD® Couplings) from Zero-Max provide very low reaction loads and are excellent for reversing loads. We offer spacer couplings in any length, a broad range of bore sizes and torque ratings, and with an option of clamp type or setscrew type hubs.

Zero-Max’s composite disc floating shaft couplings provide high torsional stiffness and zero backlash performance, along with superior misalignment capacity. These unique composite disc couplings also provide excellent support for the floating shaft component and help minimize radial loads on the connected equipment and bearings. Precision machining and precision hardware (included) ensure smooth and accurate operation, even at high speeds and lengths.

Dynamic Balancing for Floating Shaft Couplings
The close tolerances at which we manufacture our composite disc floating shaft couplings, along with the composite disc pack itself, make these devices especially well-suited to high speed and/or long-span applications. However, dynamic balancing of the floating shaft coupling may sometimes be required. Contact the factory to find out more.Coupling Misalignment
In most cases, the misalignment capacity of our composite disc floating shaft couplings is related to the speed at which they operate and the mass of the floating shaft itself (governed by its diameter and length). By reducing the allowable misalignment, and therefore the stress on the disc, the disc pack can better support and stabilize the floating shaft. This ultimately results in smoother operation, less vibration of the connected equipment, and longer operational life.
