Beam Couplings
With zero backlash and compatibility with various sizes and shapes, they are ideal for precision control in applications like stepper motors and small motor encoders.
Different slit shapes and materials provide varied characteristics to meet diverse customer needs.
Recommended by NBK①:MST(General-purpose Type)
Recommended by NBK②:MSH(Low reaction force、For Compact Encoders)
Recommended by NBK③:MSXP-C-W(For Vacuum Variable Capacitor )
