Gear Coupling has proved itself through many years of its utility internationally in all kind of industrial environment. The reliability was achieved by putting minute attention to the stringent quality control and design of the coupling. This coupling is known for its unique triple crowing on the hub teeth and accommodation of misalignment while ensuring maximum contact at the strongest part of tooth. The running life of this coupling is more when compared with other couplings.
Flexible- Rigid Couplings
The flexible rigid coupling is having one rigid half and one flexible half. It does not accommodate angular misalignment and parallel dislocation of shaft. This sort of shaft is used for floating shaft application.
The couplings, which have size 01 – 07, have crowned teeth with 20⁰ C pressure contacts. This enables the couplings to accommodate up to 1.5° static angular misalignments per gear mesh. However, minimizing the misalignment this will exploit the life of the coupling as well as life of other connected machineries.
Reliability Of The Couplings
There is certain complication in the type of connectivity of the power that is to be transmitted and area of application in the type of coupling that is being used. The design of this type of couplings is competent for transmission of very high torque and is used methods for connecting the process equipment. It provides multiple advantages over other couplings. There is high torque thickness, moderate misalignment capacity and exceptional torsional stiffness.
When comes to the question of reliability one needs to choose the particular size for the proper requirements. During the installation process, one should be careful that sleeve and hub should fit properly to prevent the failure. One should be careful regarding the heating method so that the hub material is not compromised.
Effectiveness Of The Coupling
Gear Coupling has the long-term grease lubrication and includes four point seal in order to provide maximum lubrication retention that can lead less maintenance needs and can extend the life of coupling. This also helps in increased uptime of these couplings. These are better equipment protection with crowned teeth tip and root and minimize the damage that is caused by the misalignment. These couplings also reduce the backlash and radial clearance.
