Characteristics
- Applicable motors
MSX Servomotor ◎ Stepping motor ◎ General-purpose motor ◎ ◎: Excellent ○: Very good
- Property
MSX Zero Backlash ◎ High Torque ○ High Torsional Stiffness ◎ ◎: Excellent ○: Very good
- This is a metal spring coupling with single-piece construction. A slit is inserted into a cylindrical material.
- It has an extremely high torsional stiffness and low moment of inertia.
- Extra super duralumin (A7075) featuring the highest strength among aluminum alloy is adopted.
- A plate spring formed by a slit allows eccentricity, angular misalignment, and end-play to be accepted.

Selection
The area bounded by the shaft diameter and rated torque indicates is the selection size.
Selection example
In case of selected parameters of shaft diameter of φ 15 and load torque of 2 N•m, the selection size is MSX-34 or MSX-34C.

Thrust Reaction Force
Change in static torsional stiffness due to temperature
This is a value under the condition where the static torsional stiffness at 20°C is 100%.
MSX’s change in torsional stiffness due to temperature is small and the change in responsiveness is extremely small. However, if the unit is used under higher temperature, be careful about misalignment due to elongation or deflection of the shaft associated with thermal expansion.
Static torsional stiffness comparison (slit-type)
MSX have high torsional stiffness and responsiveness.
Optimal for high-speed and precision positioning for servomotors, etc.
Eccentric Reaction Force
