Loewe® GK

The coupling with high axial stiffness

The axially stiff coupling Loewe GK is ideal for torque applications where the coupling has to resist axial motion.
The combination of kinematic properties permits additional generous radial and angular misalignment.
The series of linear couplings was developed for the precise transmission of pure push and pull loads.
Based on the function principle of the Loewe GK, we have developed a whole series of applications, for example for valve triggering, pick and place tasks and for printed circuit board machines.

Applications of the Loewe® GK

The axially fixed Loewe GK is designed to offer generous angular and radial misalignment compensation together with a high axial stiffness. Loewe GK is predestined to resist axial motion or for the precise transmission of pure linear motion for the use in cylinder systems. Typical applications are:

  • valve triggering
  • pick-and-place machines
  • printed circuit board machines
  • screw jacks
  • cylinders

 
 

Axially Fixed
This design ensures the resistence to axial motion. As a result the coupling can be used as a solid bearing.

High Axial Stiffness
High strength aluminum ensures the precise transmission of pure linear push and pull loads.

Compact Design
Radial and angular misalignment are compensated in a very short envelope without deformation.

Advanced performance plain bearings
The use of advanced performance plain bearings guarantees low wear. In addition, these bearing are maintenance-free and can be used at very high temperatures.

Application-compatible shaft connection
All couplings are equipped as standard with hard-anodised clamp hubs, optionally with internal or external thread on linear couplings.

Individual solutions
We can realise coupling solutions optimised for specific applications. Example:

  • For connecting by stud or for direct flange-mounting
  • For higher torque requirements
