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.

Diagnosing and Troubleshooting Rubber Coupling Issues

Diagnosing and troubleshooting problems with rubber couplings in machinery systems involves a systematic approach:

1. Visual Inspection: Check for signs of wear, cracking, or deformation in the rubber elements.
2. Vibration Analysis: Monitor vibration levels using sensors to identify excessive vibrations or irregular patterns.
3. Noise Assessment: Listen for unusual noises during operation, which could indicate misalignment or worn components.
4. Temperature Check: Monitor the operating temperature of the coupling, as overheating might indicate issues.
5. Alignment Check: Ensure proper alignment between connected shafts to prevent excessive stress on the coupling.
6. Torque Measurement: Measure the transmitted torque to identify any discrepancies from the expected values.
7. Dynamic Testing: Conduct dynamic tests with load variations to identify performance issues.
8. Comparative Analysis: Compare coupling behavior to baseline performance data.

If any issues are identified, they should be promptly addressed through proper maintenance, realignment, or replacement of damaged components.

Signs of Wear or Deterioration in Rubber Couplings

Rubber couplings can show signs of wear and deterioration over time due to factors like torque, temperature, and environmental conditions. To identify potential issues, watch out for the following signs:

• Visible Cracks or Damage: Inspect the rubber element for visible cracks, tears, or physical damage. Such issues can weaken the coupling’s torque transmission and vibration damping capabilities.
• Reduced Flexibility: Stiff or less flexible rubber indicates material degradation, which can impact the coupling’s ability to accommodate misalignment and absorb vibrations.
• Increased Vibrations: Excessive machinery vibrations may suggest worn-out rubber couplings. Deterioration of the rubber diminishes its vibration dampening properties.
• Unusual Noises: Any unusual sounds like squeaking or knocking might point to improper rubber coupling function and the need for inspection.
• Altered Performance: Decline in machinery performance, such as reduced torque transmission or higher energy consumption, can indicate coupling wear.

Regular inspections, visual checks, vibration analysis, and performance monitoring can help detect wear and deterioration early. This enables timely replacement and avoids operational problems.

Transmitting Torque and Damping Vibrations with a Rubber Coupling

A rubber coupling utilizes its flexible rubber element to achieve both torque transmission and vibration damping:

1. Torque Transmission: The rubber element connects two hubs, which are attached to the input and output shafts. As the input shaft rotates, it causes the rubber element to deform due to the applied torque. This deformation creates a shearing action within the rubber material, transmitting torque from the input to the output shaft.

2. Vibration Damping: The flexible rubber element of the coupling acts as a vibration isolator. When the coupling experiences external vibrations or shocks, the rubber absorbs the energy and dampens the vibrations before they reach the output shaft. The rubber’s elasticity and damping properties help mitigate vibrations and reduce the impact on the connected machinery, enhancing overall system performance and longevity.

This combination of torque transmission and vibration damping makes rubber couplings suitable for applications where misalignment compensation, shock absorption, and dampening of vibrations are essential, such as in pumps, compressors, HVAC systems, and various industrial machinery.
