Carbon fiber disc couplings for Gantry machine are being assembled.

Carbon fiber material is a good choice for lightweight couplings. Carbon fiber is a fibrous carbon material. It is the most commonly used and most important reinforcement of advanced composite materials. It has high specific strength, high specific modulus, high temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, creep resistance, and low thermal expansion coefficient. Excellent performance of the series. Its density is only 1.6g/cm^3, the tensile strength is 3000MPa, while the density of steel is 7.85g/cm^3, the tensile strength is 300~600MPa, the density of aluminum is 2.7g/cm^3, the tensile strength It is 110~136MPa.

The advantages of carbon fiber couplings are:

1. The weight is obviously reduced, only one quarter of the steel linkage shaft and one half of the aluminum linkage shaft.

2. Simplified structure, can reduce unnecessary metal parts, save raw materials and cost.

3. It can work firmly at high speed, ensure that the two shafts have a high center of alignment, and eliminate the adverse consequences caused by the error between the impact and the two shafts.

4. Good adaptability to the environment, good fatigue resistance, can work continuously for a long time, and have a long service life.

In summary, the use of carbon fiber materials in the linkage shaft is of great significance for improving work efficiency.
