Flange Flexible Couplings

Flange Flexible Couplings Specifications

What Is a Flexible Coupling Used For?

Typically, flexible couplings are used to transmit torque and power between two rotating shafts. These couplings are also used for other purposes, including vibration damping and noise reduction.

Unlike rigid couplings, flange flexible couplings can accommodate misalignment of shafts in any direction. These types of couplings are also known as adjustable couplings. They are typically made of aluminum, stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials. These flange flexible couplings are used in machine tools, industrial equipment, transport systems, and agriculture equipment.

Features of Flexible Couplings

Flexible couplings have many advantages, including ease of installation and flexibility in transferring torque. Typically, these couplings have a high torque capacity. They are typically lighter and less expensive than rigid couplings. They also reduce vibration, noise, and backlash. They are also compatible with various load conditions.

There are two general types of flexible couplings: mechanical and elastomeric. Both types are used in flexible shaft couplings. Mechanical couplings are made from various materials, including metal, rubber, or plastic. Flexible shaft couplings are typically cylindrical in shape and are used to connect two shafts in an engine or other device.

The elastomeric type of flexible coupling is made from a resilient material. These couplings have a high vibration dampening capacity. They are also lighter than mechanical couplings and have good shock absorption properties. They can also be designed for zero backlash to ensure accurate positioning of driving and driven shafts. These couplings are available in various sizes and styles.
