The Difference Between: High-Gain Rubber and All-Metal Couplings

Shaft couplings that efficiently transmit the rotational energy of a motor to a shaft while absorbing system misalignment come in all-metal and high-gain rubber designs. To take advantage of high servomotor gains, engineers must account for vibrations as well as positioning accuracy when choosing a coupling design for motion control applications.

Read on to learn about the difference between all-metal and high-gain rubber couplings in positioning accuracy, vibration control, speed, and industrial productivity.
