Selection Guide

CNC Machine Coupling Selection

CNC machines demand extreme positioning accuracy โ€” couplings must be zero-backlash and highly rigid.

Feed axis vs spindle

Feed axes (ballscrew-driven) have lower torque but need zero backlash and high rigidity โ†’ CRO-CS/CRO-CD diaphragm couplings. Spindles (heavy load) have high torque โ†’ 45# steel diaphragm couplings, single or double, OD to 190 mm.

Accuracy requirements

CNC machining accuracy depends on the backlash and stiffness of the drive train. Zero-backlash diaphragm couplings avoid positioning error on reversal โ€” the standard for feed axes.

Recommendation

Feed axis: CRO-CS single diaphragm (aligned) or CRO-CD long diaphragm (with misalignment); spindle: 45# steel diaphragm series (torque to 1040 Nยทm).
