Detailed Product Description

Gear couplings also play a very important role in the gear performance. A properly functioning gear coupling is a must for success in any gearing system. Essentially Gear couplings are the mechanical devices that is used for transmission of torque between two shafts that are not coaxial. It consists of a flexible joint that is fixed to each shaft. Next, a third shaft called spindle connects the two joints.

The importance of Gear coupling in a peak gear performance can be gauged from the view point of backlash that the gear coupling shows. The gear teeth in a typical gear coupling displays a high backlash for allowing angular Misalignment. Gear couplings can compensate for the Misalignment through the clearance between the gear teeth.

A properly designed gear couplings is supposed to absorb the misalignment forces. This way more costly, vital and sensitive components can be saved from any harm.

Features of Gear Couplings
An ideal gear coupling should show the following properties:

• A high torque
• No backlash
• High RPM that is balanced to AGMA classes
• Reduce vibration
• Size must be Space-saving size
• Low weight
• High torque capacity
• Must be Torsionally stiff
• A large variety of shaft attachment designs
