Bellows Clamp Coupling 7/8 x 3/4 in
This coupling joins two shafts with different bore sizes, 7/8 in and 3/4 in. It transmits up to 400 in-lb of torque at speeds up to 10,000 RPM. The stainless steel bellows compensates for parallel misalignment up to 0.01 in. It suits motion control systems that require precise, backlash-free power transmission.
Shaft Diameter and Speed Compatibility
Verify that the driving and driven shafts measure exactly 7/8 in and 3/4 in diameter. Confirm the application speed does not exceed 10,000 RPM and that torque stays within the 400 in-lb peak or 200 in-lb non-reversing dynamic rating. Ensure the 2.31 in overall length and 2 in clearance diameter fit within the available machine envelope.
Clamp-On Hubs and Prop 65 Notice
The clamp-on hubs secure to round shafts without keys or set screws, simplifying installation and removal. Aluminium hubs keep rotating mass low while the stainless steel bellows resists corrosion. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
What comes with the BC32-14-12-A coupling and what must be purchased separately?
The coupling includes two clamp hubs with 7/8 in and 3/4 in bores, a stainless steel bellows, and clamp hardware. Shafts, keys, and alignment tools are not included.
How do I choose between the listed bore combinations for this model?
This model is fixed at 7/8 in on one hub and 3/4 in on the other. Select it only when your shafts match those exact diameters; other bore pairs require a different part number.
What does the 400 in-lb maximum torque mean once the coupling is installed?
It is the peak torque the bellows can transmit without damage. For continuous non-reversing loads, stay at or below 200 in-lb to maintain rated life and misalignment capacity.
