Introduction
Flexible element couplings are made of rubber,
polyurethane, and nylon. Flexible element coupling has a wide range
of elastic modulus, easy to obtain elastic elements with different
stiffness, light weight, large internal friction, good damping
performance, more deformation energy per unit volume storage, no
mechanical friction, no lubrication, etc.
However, metal materials have low strength,
small load-bearing capacity, poor resistance to high and low
temperatures, easy ageing and deterioration, short service life,
and difficult to control dynamic performance.
Advantages
Flexible element couplings are suitable for
medium and large power shaft drive. It has large transmission
torque. At the same torque, most of the rotation diameter is
smaller than the gear coupling, small in size and light in weight.
It can partially replace the gear coupling. Compared with toothed
coupling, it has simple structure, fewer component parts, more
convenient manufacturing, and no gear processing machine is needed.
Flexible element couplings are easy maintenance, longer life, nylon
pin can be replaced after removing the baffle.
Applications
Flexible element
couplings are suitable for continuous operation of
industrial process power equipment, mainly used in transmission
shaft systems that require vibration damping and buffering and
compensation of the relative displacement of the two axes.
