In high output (kW) and high torque applications where limited space is available, and vibration, shock loads and misalignment occur, SKF Grid Couplings are an excellent choice. The tapered grid element is manufactured from a high strength alloy steel. The grid, which, is the primary wear component of the coupling is designed for quick and easy replacement. Unlike other couplings, the hubs and other components are not disturbed. This makes realignment virtually unnecessary and further reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
