①Coupling 120mm Diameter 160mm Length Flexible Elastomer Coupling
The jaw coupling is a highly reliable mechanical component designed for efficient torque transmission between connected shafts while accommodating minor misalignments in industrial applications. Its robust construction typically features interlocking metallic jaws paired with an intermediate elastomer element, which provides vibration damping and shock absorption to protect connected equipment from dynamic stresses. This design enables smooth power transfer across various operational speeds, maintaining performance integrity even in environments with slight angular, parallel, or axial shaft displacements. The elastomer's flexibility allows for thermal expansion compensation and minimizes wear on adjacent machinery components, significantly extending system service life. Widely utilized in pumps, compressors, and conveyor systems, jaw couplings excel in scenarios requiring moderate torque capacity and operational resilience without demanding precise alignment. Their maintenance-friendly configuration eliminates the need for lubrication, reducing downtime and operational costs. The coupling's adaptability to diverse industrial conditions—from manufacturing plants to processing facilities—stems from its balanced combination of structural durability and operational versatility. By effectively mitigating vibration transmission and compensating for installation tolerances, it enhances overall system stability while ensuring consistent power delivery in continuous or intermittent duty cycles.
②Features and applications of jaw coupling
Coupling is a component used to connect a drive shaft and a driven part, for example, a motor shaft and a ball screw for the purpose of transmitting the torque.
The main roles of a coupling include the following:
1.Connecting drive shafts of motors, etc. with driven shafts of ball screws etc. to transmit power.
2·Providing tolerance for errors (misalignment) between the cores of the drive shaft and the driven shaft.
3.Absorbing equipment impacts and vibration.
4·Improving equipment performance.
Also, Coupling introduces mechanical flexibility providing misalignment for the shafts. As a result, this coupling flexibility can prevent uneven wear, vibration, and other mechanical troubles due to misalignment.
