What is a high speed coupling?

SFM couplings are designed for high-speed power transmission applications up to 24,000 rpm where high torque and precision alignment is critical. Available in 10 sizes, SFM couplings transmit torque by connecting two shafts while damping system vibrations and accommodating misalignment.

What are disc couplings used for?

Disc couplings are commonly employed on large, industrial machines such as pumps, blowers, compressors, mixers, etc. They are especially suited to medium- and heavy-duty applications where coupling balance is important. They are also successfully employed in smaller motion-control installations.

What is a Bibby coupling?

The Coupling consists of two flanges or hubs specifically mounted on the drive and the driven shafts respectively. These hubs contain axial grooves cut on their circumference. The two couplings are joined or held together by means of a specially designed grid spring.

Why would you use a spring disc coupling?

Using a spring coupling drastically reduces vibration and increases the life of both systems. A coupling is a method of connecting two shafts. In general, using a coupling is superior to simply having a longer shaft for two reasons—it is easier to line up the shafts and modify the connection.

What is resilient coupling?

CONSTRUCTION : A High torque Resilient Coupling basically comprises a grid spring which connects two hubs one on the driving and the other on the driven shafts through axially cut grooves around the peripheries of the two hubs.

What is a grid coupling?

Grid couplings are multi-piece mechanical shaft couplings used to transmit torque and rotation between shafts in mechanical power transmission assemblies. Their design allows them to accommodate the slight variations in alignment that occurs between connected shafts, while also absorbing shock loads.

What is a flexible disc coupling?

A disk coupling is a type of flexible coupling suited for high performance motion control applications and can typically handle speeds of up to 10,000 rpm. The coupling transmits torque from a driving to a driven bolt tangentially on a common bolt circle.

What is a spider coupling?

Jaw-Type Couplings. Jaw-Type (Jaw & Spider) couplings feature two aluminum alloy hubs with protruding lugs known as “jaws” and an elastomer “spider” insert between the hubs. Aluminum keeps the jaw coupling lightweight and decreases the moment of inertia on start and stops.

What are the seven types of coupling?

Types of Coupling

  • Common Coupling.
  • Content Coupling.
  • Data Coupling.
  • Control Coupling.
  • Stamp Coupling.
  • External.
