Description

MIC Miniature Couplings provide the ideal complement to Magtrol’s TM / TMB / TMHS / TS In-Line Torque Transducers, when they are mounted in a drive train. They can also be used with any Magtrol Hysteresis (HD), Eddy-Current (WB) or Powder Brake (PB) Dynamometer and Hysteresis Brake (HB).

The couplings consist of one (MIC-6) or two (MIC-5) disc packs, two clamping hubs and a spacer. They are both torsionally stiff and flexible in order to compensate for axial and angular misalignment when connecting two shaft ends. The MIC-5 (double-element coupling) also provides compensation for radial misalignment.

On demand, MIC Series Couplings are available in an electrically isolated version, suitable for temperature up to 100 °C (125 °C max. temperature, short term).

Applications
In a drive train installation, double-element miniature couplings are the ideal complement, although single-element couplings can be used for low speed applications in a suspended installation of the toque sensor.

The higher the speed of the application, the more care is required in selecting the coupling and assembling (alignment and balancing) the drive train configuration. Your Magtrol sales representative can assist you in choosing the right coupling for your transducer.
