Referred to as Elastomer Couplings, these couplings are distinguished by the inclusion of plastic or rubber material positioned between the aluminum jaws. Embodying elastomeric characteristics, these couplings excel in shock absorption, offering a notable advantage. The Aluminum OD:20mm L:25mm Flexible Spider Shaft Coupling Bore: 5x10mm stands out for its minimal backlash feature.
This machined aluminum coupling boasts an outer diameter of 20mm and a length of 25mm, featuring a pair of jaw hubs that seamlessly engage with elastomeric spiders. The screws responsible for clamping the shafts should be tightened appropriately, ensuring a secure connection without causing damage to the shafts. The design facilitates easy connection and disconnection, proving valuable in mitigating angular and axial misalignment.
The Aluminum OD:20mm L:25mm Flexible Spider Shaft Coupling Bore: 5x10mm is particularly acclaimed for its exceptional vibration damping capability. It’s crucial to note that while elastomers provide this functionality, they do undergo degradation over time. Caution is advised against using elastomeric couplings in environments exposed to high temperatures or UV light, as these conditions can significantly reduce the coupling’s lifecycle.
Key features of flexible shaft couplings include their role in transmitting power and torque, with a typical characteristic of not allowing disconnection during operation. However, torque limiting couplings exist, designed to slip or disconnect when torque limits are exceeded. Through careful selection, installation, and maintenance, couplings contribute to substantial savings by reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Furthermore, they play a crucial role in protecting driving and driven shaft members from the adverse effects of misalignment, sudden shock loads, shaft expansion, vibrations, and other potential issues.
