Product Description

Main products
Coupling refers to a device that connects 2 shafts or shafts and rotating parts, rotates together during the transmission of motion and power, and does not disengage under normal conditions. Sometimes it is also used as a safety device to prevent the connected parts from bearing excessive load, which plays the role of overload protection.

Couplings can be divided into rigid couplings and flexible couplings.
Rigid couplings do not have buffering property and the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes. It is required that the 2 axes be strictly aligned. However, such couplings are simple in structure, low in manufacturing cost, convenient in assembly and disassembly, and maintenance, which can ensure that the 2 axes are relatively neutral, have large transmission torque, and are widely used. Commonly used are flange coupling, sleeve coupling and jacket coupling.
Flexible coupling can also be divided into flexible coupling without elastic element and flexible coupling with elastic element. The former type only has the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes, but cannot cushion and reduce vibration. Common types include slider coupling, gear coupling, universal coupling and chain coupling; The latter type contains elastic elements. In addition to the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes, it also has the functions of buffering and vibration reduction. However, due to the strength of elastic elements, the transmitted torque is generally inferior to that of flexible couplings without elastic elements. Common types include elastic sleeve pin couplings, elastic pin couplings, quincunx couplings, tire type couplings, serpentine spring couplings, spring couplings, etc

Coupling performance

1) Mobility. The movability of the coupling refers to the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 rotating components. Factors such as manufacturing and installation errors between connected components, temperature changes during operation and deformation under load all put CHINAMFG requirements for mobility. The movable performance compensates or alleviates the additional load between shafts, bearings, couplings and other components caused by the relative displacement between rotating components.
(2) Buffering. For the occasions where the load is often started or the working load changes, the coupling shall be equipped with elastic elements that play the role of cushioning and vibration reduction to protect the prime mover and the working machine from little or no damage.
(3) Safe, reliable, with sufficient strength and service life.
(4) Simple structure, easy to assemble, disassemble and maintain.

How to select the appropriate coupling type

The following items should be considered when selecting the coupling type.
1. The size and nature of the required transmission torque, the requirements for buffering and damping functions, and whether resonance may occur.
2. The relative displacement of the axes of the 2 shafts is caused by manufacturing and assembly errors, shaft load and thermal expansion deformation, and relative movement between components.
3. Permissible overall dimensions and installation methods, and necessary operating space for assembly, adjustment and maintenance. For large couplings, they should be able to be disassembled without axial movement of the shaft.
In addition, the working environment, service life, lubrication, sealing, economy and other conditions should also be considered, and a suitable coupling type should be selected by referring to the characteristics of various couplings.

Maintenance Requirements for Gear Couplings

Gear couplings, like any mechanical component, require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and longevity. Proper maintenance can help prevent unexpected failures and downtime, leading to cost savings and increased productivity. Here are the key maintenance requirements for gear couplings:

• Lubrication: Regular and proper lubrication is essential for gear couplings. The coupling’s gear teeth and mating surfaces should be adequately lubricated to minimize friction and wear. The lubrication interval and type of lubricant used depend on the application, load, and operating conditions. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for lubrication intervals and the appropriate lubricant to use.
• Inspections: Routine inspections should be performed to check for signs of wear, misalignment, or damage. Visual inspections can help detect any abnormalities, such as pitting, scoring, or corrosion on the gear teeth. Additionally, inspections can identify any misalignment issues that may need to be addressed to prevent further damage.
• Torque Monitoring: Monitoring the torque transmitted through the coupling can help identify any abnormal increases that might indicate a problem in the system. Sudden changes in torque levels could signal misalignment or other issues that need attention.
• Alignment Checks: Regularly checking and correcting shaft alignment is crucial for the proper functioning of gear couplings. Misalignment can lead to increased wear and premature failure of the coupling. Proper alignment reduces the stress on the coupling and connected equipment.
• Temperature Monitoring: Monitoring the operating temperature of the coupling can provide insights into potential problems. Abnormally high temperatures could indicate insufficient lubrication or other issues that need investigation.
• Coupling Removal and Cleaning: Periodically removing the coupling for cleaning and inspection of internal components can be beneficial, especially in harsh or dirty environments. This allows for a more thorough inspection and helps maintain the coupling’s performance.
• Replacement of Worn Components: If any components of the gear coupling, such as seals or gaskets, are worn or damaged, they should be replaced promptly to maintain the coupling’s integrity and prevent leaks.
• Proper Storage: If the coupling is temporarily removed from service or stored, it should be stored in a clean and dry environment to prevent corrosion and damage to the components.

It is essential to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines and recommendations for the specific gear coupling model being used. Regular maintenance and adherence to proper procedures can help extend the service life of gear couplings and ensure reliable and efficient operation in the mechanical system.
