RINGSPANN WKE-SL / tamaño 42 is a coupling reference, within Power transmission. Request a quote for WKE-SL / tamaño 42 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The RINGSPANN WKE-SL coupling is a backlash-free elastomeric coupling designed to transmit torque with high precision and compensate for misalignment. It is used in power transmission systems where motion accuracy and the absence of backlash are critical, such as in servomotors, ball screws and machine tool axes. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Argentina with technical advice to select the right size for the application.
The WKE-SL designation is read by family and size: WKE identifies the series of backlash-free elastomeric couplings, SL indicates the version with a high-torsion elastomeric element, and the final number (14, 19, 24, 28, 38, 42, 48) corresponds to the construction size, which defines the torque range and mounting dimensions. Each size accepts different hub and elastomeric star configurations, so it is advisable to verify the complete part number when requesting a quote.
These couplings are used in Argentine industries such as metalworking, food, pharmaceutical and automation. They are common in servomotors, encoders, ball screws, drive shafts and equipment where exact angular response is required. They are also used in machine tools, robots and positioning systems that do not tolerate torsional backlash.
To select the correct size, take into account the nominal and peak torque, the rotation speed, the permissible misalignment and the working environment. Installation requires precisely aligning the shafts, respecting the screw tightening torque and verifying that the elastomeric element is correctly seated. Lubrication is not necessary in this type of coupling, but temperature and the presence of aggressive agents must be controlled.
RINGSPANN couplings are interchangeable with other brands of backlash-free elastomeric couplings, as long as the mounting dimensions, torque and torsional stiffness match. When requesting a quote, indicate the size and shaft characteristics to confirm the equivalence. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on compatibility with other series.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does it mean that the WKE-SL coupling is backlash-free?
- It means there is no torsional backlash between the hubs and the elastomeric element. This allows motion to be transmitted accurately, without angular delay, which is critical in positioning applications, servomotors and ball screws.
- How do I choose the correct WKE-SL coupling size?
- You have to consider the nominal and peak torque of your application, the maximum speed, the misalignment between shafts and the shaft diameter. With that data, we advise you to select size 14, 19, 24, 28, 38, 42 or 48.
- Are RINGSPANN couplings compatible with other brands?
- Yes, they are interchangeable with other brands of backlash-free elastomeric couplings if the mounting dimensions, torque and torsional stiffness match. Send us the competitor's part number and we will confirm the equivalence with the WKE-SL series.
