very high temperature flexible coupling
very high temperature flexible coupling
(OP)
Dear fellow engineers,
I need a flexible coupling for my mechanism. The shafts are not very big (2-3 cm in diameter). My main challenge is the ambient temperature which is up to 480 F (250 C).
Do you know any supplier who has such couplings?
the misalignment is not very high. I do not expect it to exceed 1 degree.

There is likely to be parallel AND angular misalignment between any 2 fully supported shafts.

Single Diaphragm and disk couplings are radially very stiff, and so can only accommodate angular misalignment.
I think you will need 2 couplings with an intermediate shaft or spool piece.

Be warned there can be some interesting dynamics if you are using a stepping motor.
