The Advantages and Uses of Gear Couplings

 

A Gear coupling is a mechanism that connects two shafts at their ends to convey electricity. When a torque limit is surpassed or a problem occurs, couplings do not generally detach or allow couplings to disengage from shafts while in operation. However, there are a few torques limiting couplings that slide or disconnect when a torque limit is exceeded or a problem occurs.

We are an established Gear coupling manufacturers in India. They are flexible coupling that connects two shafts at their ends to convey power and rotational movement. They are available in a variety of sizes and are capable of transferring great torque at fast speeds. Each coupling is made up of two hubs with outer gear teeth that are linked together by flange sleeves with interior gear teeth. Straight teeth, crowned with a constant radius, and crowned with variable radius are the three-tooth shapes used in gear couplings. The coupling is typically sealed. Gaskets and O-rings are used in coupling components to prevent lubricant from leaking within the connection. Carbon steel is commonly used for general-purpose gear couplings. These torsionally rigid couplings may take some stress loading due to their design, but they cannot absorb considerable amounts of energy.

The couplings must be lubricated regularly, usually every 1-2 years depending on the duty and kind of lubricant used. The coupling has a service life of 3-5 years, and in many cases, 5-10 years, if properly maintained.

Its Benefits

  • Very high torque density
  • Angular, parallel, and axial misalignment can all be accommodated via gear couplings.
  • At high speeds, torque is high. 

Gear couplings are widely utilized in metal industry applications such as steel mills and wire mills. They are extremely useful in applications requiring a high torque-to-size ratio as well as high-speed capability.
