China Standard OEM Marine Shaft Couplings/Marine Flexible Coupling gear coupling

Product Description

OEM Marine Shaft Couplings/Marine Flexible Coupling

Application:

The shaft coupling is the component to be joined the propeller shaft and the gearbox output flange.
Some are bolted directly to the gearbox but many users adopt a flexible couplings like R&D flexible couplings.

In general, there are some types of shaft coupling as following:
Standard coupling
Solid Half Coupling
Clamp on or split half coupling
Bobbin Coupling
Coupling adapter

How Does a Gear Coupling Handle Angular, Parallel, and Axial Misalignment?

Gear couplings are designed to handle various types of misalignment, including angular, parallel, and axial misalignment. Here’s how they handle each type:

  • Angular Misalignment: Angular misalignment occurs when the two connected shafts are not collinear and form an angle with each other. Gear couplings can accommodate angular misalignment due to the flexibility of their gear teeth. The gear teeth allow a slight angular movement between the shafts without causing significant stress on the coupling.
  • Parallel Misalignment: Parallel misalignment occurs when the two connected shafts are offset along their axis but remain parallel to each other. Gear couplings can handle parallel misalignment to some extent due to the slight axial movement allowed by the gear teeth. However, for larger parallel misalignments, special gear couplings with spacer elements or other features may be required.
  • Axial Misalignment: Axial misalignment occurs when the two connected shafts are not in the same axial plane and have an offset along their length. Gear couplings can handle a certain degree of axial misalignment because the gear teeth can accommodate small axial movements without causing damage to the coupling or connected equipment.

The ability of gear couplings to handle misalignment is one of their key advantages over other types of couplings. The gear teeth act as flexible elements that can compensate for minor misalignments, reducing the stress and wear on the coupling and the connected equipment. However, it is essential to ensure that the misalignment remains within the allowable limits specified by the coupling manufacturer to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
