What is a Shaft Coupling?
Shaft Coupling Suppliers In South Africa
How do I choose a shaft coupling?
The best approach is to carefully consider all design criteria. Typically, these include torque, shaft misalignment, stiffness, rpm, inertia, space requirements, and shaft mounting.
A coupling that addresses all of these issues will ultimately perform as required in the application.
What is the best Shaft Coupling to buy?
Diaphragm coupling
Diaphragm couplings are great all-rounder shaft couplings. They can accommodate parallel misalignment as well as high angular and axial misalignment.
They also have high torque capabilities and can transmit torque at high speeds without the need for lubrication.
What are the types of shaft couplings?
Flexible couplings
Universal coupling
Disc coupling
Bellows couplings
Jaw couplings
Grid Couplings
Diaphragm couplings
Oldham coupling
Sleeve Coupling
How do you maintain Shaft couplings?
Ensure proper lubricant levels and reapply lubrication as needed. Pay attention to lubricant contamination, and replace the lubricant if it becomes contaminated
with dirt or moisture. Alignment: Proper alignment of the coupled shafts is crucial for the efficient and reliable operation of the coupling.
What are the symptoms of Shaft coupling failure?
Abnormal noise, such as screeching, squealing, or chattering.
Excessive vibration or wobble.
Failed seals indicated by lubricant leakage or contamination.
