The RINGSPANN WKE-S coupling is a zero-backlash elastomer coupling, designed to transmit torque between shafts with maximum angular precision. It is used in applications where positioning accuracy is critical, such as servomotors, ball screws and numerical control systems. Its construction compensates for misalignments without introducing backlash, protecting the mechanical components and maintaining motion repeatability. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Argentina with technical support to choose the right size.
The WKE-S designation identifies RINGSPANN's series of zero-backlash elastomer couplings. The S suffix corresponds to the version with a high torsional stiffness elastomer element. Available sizes vary by model, and each number indicates an increasing torque capacity and permissible shaft diameter. For example, the WKE-S / size 14 is the most compact in the series, while the WKE-S / size 55 covers the most demanding applications. To select the right one, you must cross-check the nominal torque, the revolutions and the diameters of the shafts to be connected.
These couplings are used in industries that require precise and repeatable movements: machine tools, automation equipment, industrial printers, packaging systems and production lines with servomotors. In Argentina, they are common in the metalworking sector, the food industry and process plants that need to synchronize shafts without tolerating angular backlash. Their ability to absorb small axial, radial and angular misalignments makes them versatile in assemblies where perfect alignment is not possible.
To choose a WKE-S, take into account the working torque, the maximum rotation speed and the shaft diameters. The elastomer element must be kept free of oils and solvents that degrade its elasticity. During assembly, check shaft alignment with a dial indicator before tightening the hubs; although the coupling compensates for misalignments, poor initial alignment shortens service life. Lubrication is not required in this series, and sealing the environment protects the elastomer from abrasive particles.
Zero-backlash elastomer couplings from different brands share operating principles, but they are not interchangeable with each other: hub diameters, lengths and stiffnesses vary. To replace a WKE-S with another brand, you must compare torque curves, permissible speeds and mounting dimensions. It is always advisable to consult the manufacturer or a specialist before replacing a precision coupling, because a difference in stiffness can affect the dynamics of the system.
If you need a WKE-S coupling for your application, send the part number or the size shown on the drawing or on the equipment nameplate by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. With that data, the technical team will send you a quote shortly and advise you on the best option for your transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does it mean that the WKE-S coupling is zero-backlash?
- It means there is no angular play between the hubs and the elastomer element. This allows motion to be transmitted precisely, without delay, ideal for servomotors and ball screws where repeatability is critical.
- How do I choose the correct size of WKE-S coupling?
- You have to consider the nominal torque, the maximum speed and the shaft diameters. Sizes range from 14 to 55. If you send us this data by WhatsApp, we will help you select the right model.
- Does the WKE-S coupling need lubrication?
- No, this type of elastomer coupling does not require lubrication. You only need to keep the elastomer clean, away from oils or solvents that could degrade it, and check shaft alignment during assembly.
