This double loop elastomer coupling features a double loop element made of a thermoplastic polyester elastomer (Hytrel) for strength, flexibility, and heat resistance. It can accommodate angular, radial, and axial misalignment to address a variety of misalignment scenarios. The hubs and fasteners are steel alloy for strength and durability.
Flexible couplings are essential for linking two rotating shafts that are not aligned to transmit rotational power or torque from one shaft to the other. Most flexible couplings consist of two hubs and a middle assembly. Each hub attaches to a shaft while the middle assembly flexes between the hubs to accommodate the misalignment of the two shafts.
Shaft misalignments, whether parallel or angular, can lead to complications in transmitting rotational power, resulting in stresses, loads, vibrations, and other forces. Flexible couplings like this one are crucial in various applications such as motor vehicles, conveyors, escalators, agricultural, forestry and mining equipment, aeronautics, robotics, and space exploration.
Recommended temperature range: -30°C to 80°C. This coupling also offers good resistance to petrol, oil, benzene, toluene, aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, glycols, solvents, and many chemicals.
