Miniature coupling with extended clamping hubs and single slit
The RINGFEDER® GWE 5103.1 series of backlash-free jaw couplings excel with their compact design. It comprises two single- slit long coupling hubs with high concentricity and one elastomer spider that can be supplied in different Shore hardness levels. The shaft tolerance should lie within the ?t tolerance ‘g6’ to ‘h7’.
The elastomer spider produces a backlash-free, puncture-proof, damped and electrically insulated elastic jaw coupling.

Technical description
Every hub on the RINGFEDER® GWE jaw coupling has concave jaws on its face. The function of the coupling to transmit torque and damp impact that occurs, as well as balancing out unavoidable mis- alignments, is enabled through the joining of two hubs and the ?lling of the created free space with an elastic sprocket. The GWE jaw couplings are backlash-free in order to also achieve a high level of positioning precision in reverse operation. The coupling is backlash-free as a result of the pressure pre-tensioning of the individual buffers in the elastomer sprocket. The different Shore hardness levels, which correlate to the torsional stiffness, mean that it is possible to optimise the entire drive line from the point of view of rotary oscillation. Detailed information is included in the technical data for the sprockets.
