MOC-50C
[Maxima - Old Ham Coupling]
The Maxima MOC-50C Oldham Coupling is designed for precise torque transmission and misalignment compensation in industrial motion systems. Built with hard anodized aluminium alloy hubs, a polyoxymethylene (POM) elastomer center disc, and 12.9-grade hexagon socket bolts, this coupling combines rigidity, flexibility, and reliability.
Its three-piece design allows smooth torque transfer while tolerating significant parallel and angular misalignments, making it ideal for encoder, stepper, and automation drive applications. The durable POM disc absorbs vibration and isolates electrical conductivity between shafts.
While standard Oldham couplings exhibit low but non-zero backlash due to their sliding center disc, the MOC-50C maintains tight manufacturing tolerances to minimize play, ensuring stable performance even under dynamic loads.
Key Features
- High torque and rigidity with lightweight aluminium hubs
- Low backlash design for precise motion control
- Tolerates parallel and angular misalignments
- Vibration and shock absorption through POM center disc
- Electrical isolation between shafts
- Easy to install and maintain with replaceable center disc
Selection Note
When selecting a coupling, always ensure that the rated torque of the coupling exceeds the rated torque of the motor it is paired with. This ensures longer life, better accuracy, and prevents premature wear under load.
