Test stand construction relies on torsionally rigid disk pack couplings
- In a worm gear test stand of the FZG (Institute for Machine Elements / Gear Research Centre) at Munich TU (Technical University), a ROBA-DS disk pack coupling decouples the test gearbox from external forces at 24,000 nominal torque.
When test stands gauge the load limits of test items, the shaft couplings used are also placed under substantial strain. They must function precisely and safely even under extreme loads. ROBA-DS disk pack couplings are torsionally rigid, reliable, tough and have an extremely high performance density. These characteristics make them the preferred couplings for test stand constructions.
Disk pack couplings are robust and reliable. They are predestined for fields of application with extreme ambient conditions. Their resistance to temperature and their performance density is achieved by very few other shaft couplings. If correctly dimensioned and handled, they possess an almost unlimited lifetime. ROBA-DS couplings are wear and maintenance-free and can transfer torques with extremely high torsional rigidity. Many disk pack couplings available on the market can only transfer a proportion (50 to 80 %) of the nominal torque defined in the catalogue via friction locking. The rest is transferred via fitting bolts using positive locking. Minimal displacements occur in the area of the disk pack connections due to loads exceeding the backlash-free frictional locking torque. This produces diverse disadvantages.
