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.

Impact of Elastomer Element Design on Rubber Coupling Performance

The design of the elastomer elements in a rubber coupling plays a critical role in determining its overall performance and capabilities. The elastomer elements are the heart of the coupling, responsible for transmitting torque, absorbing vibrations, and accommodating misalignments. The following aspects of elastomer element design significantly impact the coupling’s performance:

• Elastomer Material: The choice of elastomer material influences the coupling’s flexibility, damping characteristics, and resistance to wear. Different elastomers offer varying levels of resilience, chemical resistance, and temperature tolerance. Common elastomers used include natural rubber, synthetic rubber compounds, and polyurethane.
• Elastomer Hardness (Durometer): The durometer hardness of the elastomer affects its flexibility and ability to absorb vibrations. Softer elastomers have higher damping capabilities but may offer less torsional stiffness. Harder elastomers provide better torque transmission but may have reduced vibration isolation.
• Elastomer Shape and Geometry: The shape and geometry of the elastomer elements influence their flexibility and deformation characteristics. Different designs, such as cylindrical, star-shaped, or spider-shaped elements, affect the coupling’s ability to accommodate misalignments and transmit torque smoothly.
• Elastomer Bonding: The way the elastomer is bonded to the coupling’s hubs or inserts impacts the coupling’s overall durability and reliability. Proper bonding ensures that the elastomer effectively transfers torque and maintains its properties over time.
• Elastomer Properties Over Temperature: Elastomers can exhibit changes in performance with temperature fluctuations. Understanding how the chosen elastomer material behaves at different temperatures is essential for applications with varying operating conditions.

The design of the elastomer elements is a delicate balance between providing flexibility for vibration isolation and misalignment compensation while ensuring adequate torque transmission and overall coupling stiffness. Engineers must carefully select elastomer materials and design features based on the specific requirements of the application to achieve optimal coupling performance.

Utilization of Rubber Couplings in Mechanical Systems

A rubber coupling is a type of flexible coupling that utilizes rubber elements to connect two shafts while allowing a certain degree of misalignment and vibration damping. It is commonly used in mechanical systems to transmit torque, accommodate misalignment, and reduce shock and vibration. Here’s how rubber couplings are utilized:

• Torque Transmission: Rubber couplings transmit torque from one shaft to another, enabling the transfer of power between components while allowing for slight angular, parallel, and axial misalignments.
• Misalignment Compensation: These couplings can accommodate both angular and axial misalignments, which can occur due to manufacturing tolerances, thermal expansion, or other factors. The flexibility of the rubber element helps prevent excessive loads on connected equipment.
• Vibration Damping: The elastic properties of rubber help dampen vibrations and shocks generated during the operation of rotating machinery. This prevents the transmission of harmful vibrations to other parts of the system and reduces wear and fatigue.
• Noise Reduction: Rubber couplings help reduce noise by absorbing vibrations and minimizing the transmission of sound waves through the system.
• Equipment Protection: By absorbing shocks and vibrations, rubber couplings protect sensitive equipment and components from damage, thereby extending their lifespan.
• Simple Installation: Rubber couplings are relatively easy to install and require minimal maintenance, making them a convenient choice for various applications.
• Wide Range of Applications: Rubber couplings find applications in various industries, including automotive, industrial machinery, pumps, compressors, and more.

In summary, rubber couplings are utilized in mechanical systems to transmit torque, accommodate misalignment, reduce vibration and shock, protect equipment, and enhance the overall performance and reliability of rotating machinery.
