Zero backlash precision couplings
24 February 2025
NEW FROM Apex Dynamics is the company’s first ever series of couplings. The Zero Backlash Precision Couplings for shaft-to-shaft connections come in elastomer and disc variants, with a wide variety of input and output configurations.

Each coupling is machined to order, ensuring it meets precise application needs, with delivery guaranteed in just 2-3 weeks. According to Apex Dynamics, the new elastomer and disc couplings are a direct response to customer demand. Many of the companies purchasing its gearboxes have complained about not being able to find the right size, quality and range of couplings to meet their needs, or that can be delivered fast.
The new range has been designed with easy axial installation in mind, making setup quick and efficient. Both the elastomer and disc precision couplings provide high quality zero backlash connection. Each range delivers exceptional torsional rigidity, high-speed capability and shock absorption for high-gain motors.
The precision disc couplings comprise a torsionally rigid laminate disc that allows for angular and axial misalignment properties between meeting points, with bore capacity up to 80mm. They offer flexibility with backlash free operation, making them perfect for encoders, direct-drive, high-speed, and high-torque applications. With an aluminium alloy plain or keyed hub and size range from 05-61, the Apex Dynamics couplings come in single or double disc variants and have a nominal torque range to 2000 Nm and peak torque range to 3000Nm.
