A coupling is a mechanical device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the primary purpose of transmitting power from a driver (like a motor or engine) to a driven component (like a pump, gearbox, or conveyor). Beyond simple connection, its critical functions are to accommodate misalignment, dampen vibrations, and protect connected equipment from shock loads and the damaging effects of imperfect installation.

• Misalignment Compensation: Expertly engineered to accommodate various types of shaft misalignment:
  • Parallel Misalignment: When shafts are parallel but not collinear.
  • Angular Misalignment: When shafts are at a slight angle to each other.
  • Axial Misalignment (End Float): When shafts move slightly towards or away from each other during operation.
• Vibration Dampening & Shock Absorption: Flexible elements within the coupling absorb torsional vibrations and dampen shock loads from sudden starts/stops or changes in load.
• Zero Backlash: Many designs provide precise, no-play connection, critical for applications requiring high positional accuracy.
• Easy Installation & Maintenance:
  • Split-Spider Design: Allows for replacement of the flexible element without moving connected equipment.
  • Clamp or Set-Screw Hubs: Provide a secure grip on the shaft, preventing fretting and wear.
• High Torque Density: Transmits high levels of torque in a compact, lightweight package.
• Electrical Insulation: Certain types electrically isolate the driver from the driven component, preventing bearing damage.

We provide the right coupling for every application:

• Elastomeric Couplings (Jaw, Tire, Pin & Bushings): Use flexible rubber or polyurethane elements. Ideal for general industrial applications.
• Metallic Disc Couplings: Use flexible stainless steel discs. Perfect for high-speed, high-temperature applications.
• Grid Couplings: Feature a spring-like steel grid. Excellent for shock load absorption.
• Gear Couplings: Consist of two geared hubs. Used in severe-duty applications.
• Oldham Couplings: Use a center disc with tenons. Excellent for high parallel misalignment.
• Beam Couplings (Helical): Single piece with spiral cut. Common in light-duty precision applications.
