Flexible Coupling Element 046999 Sullair Air Compressor Coupling

In most cases, industrial power transmission calls for flexible rather than rigid couplings in order to forgive minor shaft misalignment.

Functions of coupling adhesive:

1. Buffering, vibration reduction and improvement of dynamic performance of shafting. Coupling refers to a device that connects two shafts or shafts with rotating parts, turning together in the process of transmitting motion and power, and does not detach under normal circumstances.It is also sometimes used as a safety device to prevent the connected parts from bearing too much load and play the role of overload protection.

2, The coupling can compensate the offset (including axial offset, radial offset, angular offset or comprehensive offset) between the two shafts due to inaccurate manufacturing and installation, deformation or thermal expansion during operation, etc.As well as ease the impact, vibration absorption.

Determining the right type of flexible coupling starts with the following analysis of the application:

• Prime mover type (motor, diesel engine, etc.) of the drive side of the system
• Actual horsepower and/or torque requirements, not prime motor-rated horsepower (note the range of variable torque caused by periodic or unstable loads, worst-case starting loads,
• Drive system inertia related to prime mover inertia (data available from equipment supplier)
• vibration, linear and torsional vibration (experienced supplier or consultant can help you evaluate vibration) shaft-to-shaft deviation;
• Note the degree of Angle offset (axis is not parallel) and parallel offset (distance between axis centers when axes are parallel but not aligned);
• Also note whether the drive/driven units share the same floor axial (inside/outside) axial motion,
• whether they share distance (the distance between the drive end and the driven axis), and any other space-related restrictions.
