Spring’s here – its universal joint maintenance time. Universal Joint and power transmission couplings So the weather is changing, the short cold days of winter are starting to recede. Now is the time of the service manager starting to his maintenance schedule for plant and equipment. Couplings come into play here as the constant greasing […]

Mechanical power transmission couplings are broken down into 3 sections, Uni joints, Elastomeric and Beam type couplings. Uni joints are the most flexible and offer high torque but low speed, Elastomeric couplings can do high speed and high torque but low angle of misalignment. Beam and bellows coupling at high speed high torque but low angle of misalignment.
Twin Spring Coupling offers the best of everything, flexible to 45°, high torque (6000 in lbs.) and capable of 7000 RPM.
A one piece design replaces these other couplings with all their different components.

Power transmission couplings – Universal Joints, jaw type couplings, beam couplings, bellows couplings and elastomeric couplings all suffer from the same design flaws. We have always used them, they are the only things we use, we just accept the annual maintenance cost and failure rate. A common story from manufacturers and distributors, the power transmission […]
