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.
Industry Standards and Guidelines for Rubber Couplings
There are no specific industry standards or guidelines that exclusively govern the design and application of rubber couplings. However, various general standards and engineering practices apply to flexible couplings, including rubber couplings:
- ISO 14691: This standard provides guidelines for the installation, use, and maintenance of industrial flexible couplings, which include rubber couplings.
- AGMA 9005: The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) standard provides information on selecting lubricants and lubrication methods for flexible couplings, ensuring proper performance and longevity.
- API 671: This API standard specifies the requirements for special-purpose couplings used in petroleum, chemical, and gas industry services, which can include rubber couplings for specific applications.
- Manufacturer Recommendations: Many rubber coupling manufacturers provide guidelines, specifications, and installation instructions for their products, helping users select the right coupling and use it correctly.
Since rubber couplings fall under the category of flexible couplings, engineers and designers can follow these broader standards and best practices while considering the specific characteristics and performance requirements of rubber couplings for their applications.
Types of Rubber Couplings Designed for Specific Uses
There are several types of rubber couplings, each designed with specific characteristics to suit various applications:
- Flexible Jaw Couplings: These couplings consist of two hubs connected by a flexible rubber element. They are commonly used in applications where misalignment, vibrations, and shocks need to be dampened, such as in pumps, fans, and compressors.
- Oldham Couplings: Oldham couplings use a rubber disk as the intermediate element between two hubs. They provide compensation for misalignment while maintaining a constant velocity between input and output shafts, often used in printing, packaging, and CNC machinery.
- Tyre Couplings: These couplings have a high degree of torsional flexibility and are suitable for applications with substantial misalignment and shock absorption requirements, like in heavy-duty machinery and construction equipment.
- Pin and Bush Couplings: These couplings use rubber bushes to provide vibration isolation and accommodate misalignment. They are used in various industrial applications, including conveyors, mixers, and crushers.
- Diaphragm Couplings: Diaphragm couplings use a flexible rubber diaphragm to transmit torque and compensate for misalignment. They are commonly found in precision equipment like servo motors and robotics.
Each type of rubber coupling is designed to address specific needs in different applications. The choice of coupling depends on factors such as the degree of misalignment, torque requirements, shock absorption, and the level of precision needed.
