Choosing the Right Industrial Coupling
Modern industrial couplings usually do much more than simply joining two shafts and are vital, hi-tech components that ensure the optimum performance of the power transmission system and the driven equipment. They can provide features such as, fail-safe operation, reduced maintenance and downtime, vibration damping, elimination of backlash and torque amplification, misalignment solutions, soft starting, protection against shock loading, torsional vibration and resonance.
There is a wide range of coupling types available to provide solutions that are often unique for different applications and so correct selection and installation is essential.
Incorrect coupling selection can result in increased maintenance, more frequent downtime and higher operating costs. It could also result in coupling failure – leading to lost production, unplanned maintenance, and in some cases, catastrophic consequences.
The basic information that needs to be known before the most suitable coupling can be selected includes: the power to be transmitted, whether normal or high, continuous or intermittent; the characteristics of the drive, the type of prime mover and the characteristics of the driven equipment; speed, including the speed at which maximum power is transmitted, as well as the maximum speed; and finally the dimensions of the shafts to be connected including keyway details.
