Flexures & Couplings, HELI-CAL®

GearmotorsHelical has over 50 years of experience designing and producing Flexures for use in products ranging from encoders to spacecraft. Helical’s many products are cost-effective and versatile. Here is a brief overview of the many variations of HELI-CAL Flexure products that can be used to control mechanical movement.


Standard Couplings

Our most popular product, using single piece construction, the HELI-CAL Flexure concept, and any combination of bore diameters, materials, or end connections.

Standard

Custom Couplings

If our Standard Coupling is not the right size or you need more performance then inquire with Helical about designing and manufacturing a Custom Coupling to fit your specific requirements. Our Application Engineers will work with you to choose the best material, incorporate your specific features and attachments, and design a HELI-CAL Flexure to provide you with the optimal flexible coupling for your application.

U-Joints

The “HELI-CAL Flexure” is an advanced u-joint solution that generally exceeds the capabilities of traditional u-joint designs. A Helical u-joint is really a flexure capable of over 5° of angular misalignment. It may accommodate up to 90° of angular misalignment in certain circumstances. This type of u-joint will also compensate for axial and parallel misalignment.

Make Your Part Flexible

Do you already manufacture a part that would benefit from making it flexible? Do you have specialized manufacturing equipment or excess manufacturing capacity for making your own parts, but you want to incorporate a HELI-CAL Flexure to add versatility and functionality? Contact our Application Engineers to discuss our service of “generating a Helical Flexure” into the blank you provide. This can provide a cost effective way to add Engineered Elasticity to your desi

Machined Springs

The most demanding compression, torsion, and lateral spring applications can benefit from the HELI-CAL Flexure concept. Overall system designs can be enhanced because HELI-CAL Flexures increase precision, require less space, and reduce costs.
