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.

Suitability of Rubber Couplings for High-Speed Rotation and Varying Loads

Rubber couplings are generally well-suited for applications involving high-speed rotation and varying loads, thanks to their unique properties and design features.

High-Speed Rotation: Rubber couplings can effectively handle high-speed rotation due to their inherent flexibility and damping characteristics. The elastomeric material used in rubber couplings helps absorb and dissipate vibrations that can occur at high speeds, contributing to smoother operation and reduced wear on connected machinery components.

Varying Loads: Rubber couplings are capable of accommodating varying loads due to their ability to deform under stress. The flexibility of rubber allows it to absorb shocks and impacts caused by changes in load, preventing damage to connected equipment. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications where sudden changes in load can occur, such as in industrial machinery.

However, it’s important to consider the specific requirements of the application. While rubber couplings provide excellent vibration isolation and misalignment compensation, they may not offer the same level of torsional rigidity as some other coupling types. In cases where precise torque transmission is crucial, and minimal torsional deflection is required, other coupling options might be more suitable.

Overall, rubber couplings can provide reliable performance in applications involving high-speed rotation and varying loads, especially when the benefits of vibration damping and misalignment compensation are essential.

Common Rubber Materials Used in Manufacturing Rubber Couplings

Various rubber materials are used in the manufacturing of rubber couplings, each chosen based on its specific properties and the intended application:

• Neoprene: Known for its oil and chemical resistance, neoprene rubber is used in couplings that require durability and resistance to harsh environments.
• Nitrile: Nitrile rubber offers excellent oil and fuel resistance, making it suitable for applications in machinery that involve contact with lubricants.
• Natural Rubber: Natural rubber provides good elasticity and flexibility, making it suitable for couplings requiring high levels of shock and vibration absorption.
• EPDM: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber offers good resistance to weather, ozone, and aging, making it suitable for outdoor or high-temperature applications.
• Polyurethane: Polyurethane rubber offers high abrasion resistance and can handle higher load capacities, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.

The choice of rubber material depends on factors such as the operating environment, chemical exposure, temperature range, flexibility requirements, and load conditions. Engineers select the appropriate rubber material to ensure the coupling’s performance and longevity in specific 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.
