Mechanical power transmission couplings
Mechanical power transmission couplings are flexible coupling units created to transfer mechanical power from one source to another. Traditionally these are couplings such as universal joints, jaw couplings, elastomeric couplings and other couplings like spring or grid couplings.
Traditionally these couplings require maintenance and replacement of internal components due to the design limitations of the technology
Universal Joints require constant greasing and the internal bearing cross be replaced due to wear, jaw couplings or elastomeric couplings are only able to flex 1/2 to 1 degree, anything beyond that means the edges of the elastomeric insert or “spider” wear and need replacing, the pressure connection of a standard elastomeric coupling also means by being compressed over time this compression means the spider stops absorbing as much of the vibration generated by the coupling being used and its degree of angular alignment. This means the spider insert will need to be replaced.
