Product Description

Main products
Coupling refers to a device that connects 2 shafts or shafts and rotating parts, rotates together during the transmission of motion and power, and does not disengage under normal conditions. Sometimes it is also used as a safety device to prevent the connected parts from bearing excessive load, which plays the role of overload protection.

Couplings can be divided into rigid couplings and flexible couplings.
Rigid couplings do not have buffering property and the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes. It is required that the 2 axes be strictly aligned. However, such couplings are simple in structure, low in manufacturing cost, convenient in assembly and disassembly, and maintenance, which can ensure that the 2 axes are relatively neutral, have large transmission torque, and are widely used. Commonly used are flange coupling, sleeve coupling and jacket coupling.
Flexible coupling can also be divided into flexible coupling without elastic element and flexible coupling with elastic element. The former type only has the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes, but cannot cushion and reduce vibration. Common types include slider coupling, gear coupling, universal coupling and chain coupling; The latter type contains elastic elements. In addition to the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes, it also has the functions of buffering and vibration reduction. However, due to the strength of elastic elements, the transmitted torque is generally inferior to that of flexible couplings without elastic elements. Common types include elastic sleeve pin couplings, elastic pin couplings, quincunx couplings, tire type couplings, serpentine spring couplings, spring couplings, etc

Coupling performance

1) Mobility. The movability of the coupling refers to the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 rotating components. Factors such as manufacturing and installation errors between connected components, temperature changes during operation and deformation under load all put CHINAMFG requirements for mobility. The movable performance compensates or alleviates the additional load between shafts, bearings, couplings and other components caused by the relative displacement between rotating components.
(2) Buffering. For the occasions where the load is often started or the working load changes, the coupling shall be equipped with elastic elements that play the role of cushioning and vibration reduction to protect the prime mover and the working machine from little or no damage.
(3) Safe, reliable, with sufficient strength and service life.
(4) Simple structure, easy to assemble, disassemble and maintain.

How to select the appropriate coupling type

The following items should be considered when selecting the coupling type.
1. The size and nature of the required transmission torque, the requirements for buffering and damping functions, and whether resonance may occur.
2. The relative displacement of the axes of the 2 shafts is caused by manufacturing and assembly errors, shaft load and thermal expansion deformation, and relative movement between components.
3. Permissible overall dimensions and installation methods, and necessary operating space for assembly, adjustment and maintenance. For large couplings, they should be able to be disassembled without axial movement of the shaft.
In addition, the working environment, service life, lubrication, sealing, economy and other conditions should also be considered, and a suitable coupling type should be selected by referring to the characteristics of various couplings.

Durometer Hardness in Rubber Coupling Materials

Durometer hardness is a measure of the material’s resistance to indentation or penetration by a specified indenter. In rubber couplings, durometer hardness is a critical characteristic that influences their performance. It is typically measured using a durometer instrument.

The durometer hardness scale commonly used for rubber materials is the Shore durometer scale, indicated by a letter followed by a numerical value (e.g., Shore A, Shore D). Lower durometer values indicate softer and more flexible rubber, while higher values indicate harder and less flexible rubber.

In relation to rubber couplings:

• Higher Durometer (Harder Rubber): Couplings made from harder rubber materials have better torque transmission capabilities and higher load-bearing capacity. However, they may offer less vibration isolation and misalignment compensation.
• Lower Durometer (Softer Rubber): Couplings made from softer rubber materials provide greater flexibility, vibration damping, and misalignment compensation. They are suitable for applications where vibration reduction is crucial.

The choice of durometer hardness depends on the specific requirements of the application, including torque levels, vibration, misalignment, and desired performance characteristics.

Comparison of Rubber Couplings with Other Flexible Coupling Types

Rubber couplings, elastomeric couplings, and disc couplings are all flexible coupling options used in various mechanical systems. Here’s a comparison of rubber couplings with these alternatives:

Rubber Couplings:

• Transmit torque while damping vibrations through the flexibility of rubber elements.
• Provide good misalignment compensation and shock absorption.
• Relatively simple construction and cost-effective.
• Effective in reducing noise and vibration in applications.
• Suitable for moderate to high torque applications with moderate misalignment.

Elastomeric Couplings:

• Similar to rubber couplings, utilize elastomeric materials for flexibility and vibration damping.
• Offer higher torque capacity and stiffness compared to rubber couplings.
• Provide better misalignment compensation and torsional stiffness.
• Wider range of sizes and configurations for various applications.
• Commonly used in pumps, compressors, and other machinery.

Disc Couplings:

• Use a series of metal discs to transmit torque and accommodate misalignment.
• Offer high torsional stiffness and accuracy in torque transmission.
• Can handle higher speeds and torque compared to rubber or elastomeric couplings.
• Require precision in manufacturing and installation.
• Used in applications requiring high precision and minimal backlash.

When choosing between these flexible coupling types, considerations such as torque requirements, misalignment compensation, torsional stiffness, and application-specific needs play a significant role in making the appropriate selection. Each type has its advantages and limitations, making it important to assess the specific requirements of the machinery system.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Rubber Coupling

Choosing the right rubber coupling for a specific application involves considering various factors:

1. Torque Requirements: Evaluate the torque that needs to be transmitted between the input and output shafts. Select a coupling with a rubber element that can handle the required torque without exceeding its limits.

2. Misalignment Compensation: Determine the degree of misalignment (angular, axial, and radial) present in the system. Choose a rubber coupling with appropriate flexibility to accommodate the expected misalignment while maintaining efficient torque transmission.

3. Vibration Damping: Assess the level of vibrations and shocks in the application. Opt for a rubber coupling with effective vibration-damping properties to protect the machinery and enhance its reliability.

4. Service Environment: Consider the operating conditions, including temperature, humidity, exposure to chemicals, and potential contaminants. Select a rubber material that can withstand the environment without deteriorating.

5. Shaft Sizes: Ensure that the coupling’s bore sizes match the shaft diameters of the connected equipment. Proper shaft fitment is crucial for efficient torque transmission.

6. Maintenance Requirements: Evaluate the maintenance practices of the system. Some rubber couplings may require periodic inspection and replacement due to wear over time.

7. Cost and Budget: Factor in the budget constraints while choosing a suitable rubber coupling. Balancing performance and cost is essential for an optimal solution.

8. Application Type: Different industries and applications have unique requirements. Choose a coupling type (spider, jaw, tire, etc.) based on the specific needs of the application.

By carefully considering these factors, you can select a rubber coupling that provides efficient torque transmission, vibration isolation, and durability in your mechanical system.
