MSH-8 is provided with hex socket set screws.
MSH-13C to MSH-32C are provided with hex socket head cap screws.
● Recommended tolerance for shaft diameters is h6 and h7.
● Bore modifications are available on request.
●For the shaft insertion amount to the coupling, see Mounting/maintenance. ⇒Mounting and Maintenance


Slip torque

As in the table below, the clamping types MSH-C have different slip torque according to the bore diameter. Take care during selection.

Unit : N・m

Part Number Bore Diameter(mm)
3 3.175 3.97 4 4.76 5 6 9.525
MSH-13C 0.3 0.3
MSH-16C 0.4 0.3 0.3 0.5 0.3 0.3
MSH-20C 0.4 0.6 0.8 0.6 0.9
MSH-26C 2.6 3.3
MSH-32C 5.2

These are test values based on the conditions of screw tightening torque of the values described in MSH-C dimension tables. They are not guaranteed values.
Slip torque changes with usage conditions. Carry out tests under conditions similar to actual conditions in advance.


Torque by bore

Torque Value Differs According to the Bore Diameter. Refer to the Larger Bore Diameter of D1 and D2.

Characteristics

Stepping Motor
General-purpose Motor

◎: Excellent ●: Available

  • Property
MSH
Zero Backlash
Allowable Misalignment
Small Eccentric Reaction Force

◎: Excellent ○: Very good

  • This is a metal spring coupling with single-piece construction. A spiral-shaped slit is inserted into a cylindrical material.
  • Because there is no backlash and the flexibility is excellent, it is suited to use at low torque for encoders, etc.
  • The eccentric reaction force is minimal. It reduces burden on the shaft and helps prevent equipment damage.
  • Metric and inch size bore diameters are available as standard.
  • The structure is simple, enabling easy separation.

Application

Transport devices / actuators / optical equipment / encoders

Precautions for Use

  • In case of mounting on D-cut shaft, be careful about the position of the D-cut surface of the shaft. ⇒Mounting and Maintenance
  • There are sizes where the hex socket head bolt exceeds the outer diameter of the coupling and the rotating diameter is larger than the outer diameter. Please be careful of the interference of coupling. Rotation Diameter
