Description
The XL1 jaw shaft coupling is designed for compact-to-medium power transmission applications where vibration damping and misalignment compensation are required. It features precision-machined 45 carbon steel hubs paired with a high-elastic polyurethane spider, helping maintain stable torque transfer while reducing shock loads. With a 40mm outer diameter and an overall length of 66mm, this coupling is well suited for CNC machines, servo motor systems, and light-duty industrial automation equipment.
Key Features
- Precision machined 45 carbon steel hubs
- High-elastic polyurethane spider for vibration damping and shock absorption
- Compensates for angular, radial, and axial misalignment
- Bore tolerance H7 for precise shaft fit
- Compact structure for space-limited installations
- Suitable for high-speed rotation up to 19,000 RPM
- Operating temperature range: -35°C to 80°C
⚠ Important Notice – Blind Bore Version
This product is supplied with an unmachined blind bore.
The coupling hub is delivered as a semi-finished component. Final bore machining, drilling, and keyway processing must be completed by the customer after receiving the product. Please ensure you have suitable machining capabilities before placing an order. Blind bore products are not eligible for return due to machining-related issues.

Selection & Installation Tips
- Ensure shaft dimensions match your required bore machining plan (H7 tolerance)
- Confirm the required torque does not exceed the rated torque
- Blind bore versions are delivered without internal machining — final machining is required by the customer
- For high-speed applications, ensure proper alignment during installation
- Contact us for custom bore combinations, special keyways, or stepped bore requirements
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between XL1 and other XL series sizes?
A: XL1 is a compact size in the XL series that expands bore capacity and hub geometry compared to XL0, while maintaining high-speed performance for precision motion systems.
Q: Is this coupling suitable for reversing rotation?
A: Yes. Jaw couplings are suitable for bidirectional and reversing applications when properly installed and aligned.
Q: Can you provide custom bores and keyways?
A: Yes. We can provide custom bore sizes, stepped bores, and keyways upon request. Please share your shaft specifications when contacting us.
