R+W EK elastomer couplings
Technical overview of R+W EK elastomer couplings for engineering discovery and identification.
R+W EK elastomer couplings
R+W EK series elastomer couplings provide flexible torque transmission with vibration damping for general industrial and light precision drives. Golden Bearing Company supplies EK lines as R+W Germany dealer/stockist.
EK portfolio
R+W EK elastomer couplings are offered in multiple mounting and connection categories. Models include EKL, EK4, EK1, EKH, EK6, ESL, EZV, EK7, TX1, EK2, EZ2, ES2 and EKZ.
- Clamping hub - EK1, EK4, EK6, EK7, EKH, EKL, EKZ
- Conical connection - EK2 and related conical-mount variants
- Keyway connection - keyway-mounted EK series models
- Intermediate spacer - ESL, ES2 and spacer-type EK configurations
Contact Golden Bearing Company for model selection, application guidance and detailed technical information.
Compared to bellows types
EK elastomer couplings accommodate more misalignment and provide damping but do not offer the same torsional stiffness as BK or BKL bellows designs. Choose based on whether damping or stiffness dominates your application.

Common questions
Bellows types (BK/BKL) are usually preferred for high stiffness servo axes. EK suits general flexible connections where elastomer damping is beneficial.
Possibly, if torque, bore and dimensions align with R+W catalogue data. Send existing coupling details for cross-reference review.
