●All products are provided with hex socket head cap screw.
●Recommended tolerance for shaft diameters is h6 and h7.
●Bore additional modification is available on request. Please take advantage of our modification services.
●For the shaft insertion amount to the coupling, see Mounting/maintenance. ⇒Mounting and Maintenance


Slip torque

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

Unit : N・m

Part Number Bore Diameter (mm)

MWSS-25C 1.2 1.4 1.9 3.1
MWSS-32C 1.9 2.4 3.4 4.1

These are test values based on the conditions of shaft dimensional allowance: h7, hardness: 34-40 HRC, and screw tightening torque of the values described in MWS-CMWSS-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.

Characteristics

  • This is a metal spring coupling with single-piece construction. A slit is inserted into a cylindrical material.
  • A plate spring formed by a slit allows angular misalignment, and end-play to be accepted.
  • There are two types of units made of aluminum alloy or all stainless steel.

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

Selection

Selection Example

In case of selected parameters of shaft diameter of φ 5 and load torque of 0.8 N•m, the selected size forMWSMWSSis MWS-20MWSS-20.

Selection Based on Shaft Diameter and Rated Torque

The area bounded by the shaft diameter and rated torque indicates the selection size.

Change in static torsional stiffness due to temperature

MWS/MWSS/MWS-C/MWSS-C_TTechnical Information

This is a value under the condition where the static torsional stiffness at 20°C is 100%. The change of MWS and MWSS in torsional stiffness due to temperature is small and the change in responsiveness is extremely small. If the unit is used under higher temperature, be careful about misalignment due to elongation or deflection of the shaft associated with thermal expansion.
