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 various misalignment scenarios. The hubs and fasteners are steel alloy, ensuring strength and durability.
Flexible couplings are essential for linking two rotating shafts that are not aligned to transmit rotational power or torque. Typically, they consist of two hubs and a middle assembly. Each hub attaches to a shaft while the middle assembly flexes between the hubs to accommodate misalignment.
Shaft misalignments, whether parallel or angular, can complicate the transmission of rotational power, leading to stresses, loads, vibrations, and other forces. Flexible couplings like this one are versatile and find applications in motor vehicles, conveyors, escalators, agricultural, forestry, and mining equipment, aeronautics, robotics, and space exploration, among others.
