R+W BK bellows couplings

R+W BK series metal bellows couplings provide torsional stiffness and low backlash for servo drives, spindles and precision machinery. Golden Bearing Company acts as dealer/stockist for R+W Germany products in India - not as an authorised distributor.

BK family series

R+W offers metal bellows couplings in multiple series distinguished by hub mounting and connection type. Models include:

  • BK5, BK1, BK2, BK6, BK8, BK7, BK3 - core BK bellows platforms
  • BKC - clamping hub mounting
  • BKM - press fit connection
  • BKZ - flange mounting
  • BKH - hollow shaft mounting
  • BKS - conical connection

Contact Golden Bearing Company for model selection, application guidance and detailed technical information.

Mounting and design classifications

BK families are classified by mounting approach: clamping hub; press fit connection; flange mounting; hollow shaft mounting; conical connection. Confirm model marking against manufacturer data for your shaft interface.

Bellows coupling principles

A thin-walled metal bellows flexes to accommodate misalignment while maintaining angular transmission accuracy. BK designs suit applications where wind-up must be minimised compared to elastomer alternatives.
