Endicon Systems > Characteristics
Patented curved tooth design provides excellent cam action in and out of mesh, making Endiconª index rings truly self-centring, and forming a rigid zero backlash interface. Endiconª couplings allow for a hub extension on the tooth side of one coupling half (not possible on radial tooth face type couplings). Full flank tooth contact provides an extremely rigid or stiff coupling interface capable of transmitting very high loads. Extremely high numbers of teeth enable Endiconª ring sets to be used in precise indexing applications calling for angular indexes of less than one degree with true position accuracy within + 3 seconds of arc. Continuous machining of teeth provides uniformity of tooth spacing resulting in angular position repeatability of 1 micron or better, and improving with use. Variable tooth geometry (number of teeth, size and pressure angles) helps meet specific performance requirements; full radius tooth tips promote easier tooth engagement, and the varying of pressure angles can increase or decrease separating forces. Choice of materials - Endiconª ring sets can be made from virtually any solid material to meet customer performance and budget objectives. "Task Specific" design capability provides custom solutions to a variety of applications.
Where space and/or weight limitations do not allow a conventional shaft coupling.
Where keys or splines are not sufficient for the torque load, or require excessive axial clearances for component assembly and disassembly.
Where accurate finite incremental indexing of one member with respect to other is required.
Where quick disengagement is required.
Where maximum rigidity is required.
Where positive engagement of two components must also be on a common centre.
Endicon™ rings offer these advantages: 1. For indexing, Endicon's curved teeth provide excellent cam action in and out of mesh. 2. Endicon™couplings make possible extremely short axial disengaging distances. 3. Our full flank tooth contact maximises stiffness. 4. Full radius tooth tips provide for easy engagement. The Endicon™ brochure is provided to furnish the design engineer with preliminary information for the specifications of Endicon™ coupling and index rings. Our engineering personnel are on call, ready to provide technical assistance through all phases of your design program.
