The RINGSPANN WKE-G elastomeric coupling is a power transmission component that connects two shafts and transmits torque with zero angular backlash, thanks to its elastomeric element. It is used in applications where positioning accuracy and compensation of small misalignments are critical, such as servomotors, spindles and numerical control systems. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Argentina as exclusive representative of RINGSPANN.
The WKE-G designation is read by coupling type and size: the WKE-G series corresponds to a zero-backlash elastomeric coupling, and the number that follows indicates the construction size. For example, WKE-G / size 5, WKE-G / size 7 or WKE-G / size 19 refer to different torque capacities and permissible shaft diameters. The G suffix identifies the version with elastomeric element. Each size is selected according to the nominal torque and the dimensions of the shafts to be connected.
In Argentine industry, these couplings are used in machine tools, machining centers, automation equipment, industrial printers and positioning systems. They also appear in testing and laboratory applications, where the absence of backlash is decisive for repeatability. They are common in food, pharmaceutical and automotive plants, where precise transmission and low maintenance are required.
To select a WKE-G, take into account the nominal and maximum torque, the rotation speed, the diameter and type of fit of the shafts, and the permissible misalignment. Installation requires aligning the shafts within the manufacturer's tolerances and respecting the tightening torque of the fastening screws. Lubrication is not necessary on the elastomeric element, but the condition of the elastomer should be checked periodically. Forced installation can damage the coupling and affect transmission.
Zero-backlash elastomeric couplings from different brands can be interchanged if shaft dimensions, torque and service conditions match. However, each manufacturer defines its own sizes and performance curves, so equivalence must be validated with the technical data. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on interchangeability and the alternatives available for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does it mean that the WKE-G coupling is zero-backlash?
- It means there is no angular backlash between the parts, which allows motion to be transmitted precisely and without loss of positioning. It is ideal for applications with servomotors or systems that require exact repeatability.
- How do I choose the WKE-G coupling size?
- The size is selected according to the nominal torque of the application, the rotation speed and the shaft diameter. Send me this data via WhatsApp and we'll advise you to choose the correct size among those available.
- Does the WKE-G coupling need lubrication?
- No, the elastomeric element does not require lubrication. Only periodic inspection is recommended to verify the condition of the elastomer and the tightening of the fastening screws.
