Description
Flexible element couplings are made of rubber, polyurethane, and
nylon.
Flexible element coupling has a wide range of elastic modulus, easy
to obtain elastic elements with different stiffness, light weight,
large internal friction, good damping performance, more deformation
energy per unit volume storage, no mechanical friction, no
lubrication, etc. However, metal materials have low strength, small
load-bearing capacity, poor resistance to high and low
temperatures, easy ageing and deterioration, short service life,
and difficult to control dynamic performance.
Surface treatment: anti-rust treatment
Advantages
1. Suitable for medium and large power shaft drive
2. Large transmission torque. At the same torque, most of the
rotation diameter is smaller than the gear coupling, small in size
and light in weight. It can partially replace the gear coupling.
3. Compared with toothed coupling, it has simple structure, fewer
component parts, more convenient manufacturing, and no gear
processing machine is needed.
4. Easy maintenance, longer life, nylon pin can be replaced after
removing the baffle.
5. Poor vibration reduction energy and high noise
Application of Flexible Couplings for Nonmetallic Elastic Elements
Suitable for continuous operation of industrial process power
equipment, mainly used in transmission shaft systems that require
vibration damping and buffering and compensation of the relative
displacement of the two axes.
