About Jaw Coupling
Jaw Coupling
We are recognized as one of the most profound manufacturers, suppliers and exporters of Jaw Coupling. We have engineered the couplings at our premises under the guidance of our trusted professionals. Our range of coupling is highly appreciated in the market for its salient features such as high tensile strength and durability. The coupling is also customized by the company in varied sizes and dimensions as per clients requirements. Furthermore, the Jaw Coupling is immensely used for the purpose of absorbing shock loads. The coupling also disables the small amplitude vibrations produced in the machine.
Advanced Vibration DampingThe unique elastomer insert, made from high-quality NBR or PU material, reduces machine vibration and absorbs shock loads. This extends equipment lifespan and improves operational reliability, making jaw couplings particularly suitable for sensitive and high-performance industrial machinery.
Robust Construction and Versatile SizingCrafted from machined steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant black oxide coating, these couplings maintain functionality in challenging environments. The pilot bore and customizable shaft size, with inner diameters between 10 mm to 60 mm and outer diameters up to 145 mm, cater to a range of industrial requirements.
Simple, Efficient InstallationJaw couplings are designed for quick mounting and removal, whether using a clamp, keyway, or set screw. Their three-piece structure-a pair of metal hubs and one elastomer spider-ensures easy assembly and maintenance, minimizing downtime during equipment changes or repairs.
FAQ's of Jaw Coupling:
Q: How do jaw couplings handle misalignment and what should users consider during installation?
A: Jaw couplings can accommodate axial misalignment up to 1 mm and angular misalignment of up to 1, thanks to their elastomer spider. During installation, ensure precise shaft alignment and secure mounting using either the clamp, keyway, or set screw to optimize performance and longevity.
Q: What are the typical industrial environments and applications suitable for these jaw couplings?
A: These couplings are suitable for dry, dust-free environments and commonly used in industrial machinery. Their robust construction and vibration damping make them ideal for pumps, motors, compressors, and other shaft-to-shaft torque transmitting applications.
Q: When is it necessary to select a specific spider color or hardness for a jaw coupling?
A: Spider color (red or yellow) and hardness (Shore 80-98A) vary by brand and usage requirements. Choose softer inserts for higher damping in sensitive machinery, and harder inserts where greater torque or durability is needed. Always check the application requirements and consult with the supplier if unsure.
Q: Where are jaw couplings typically installed on industrial equipment?
A: Jaw couplings are mounted directly between two shafts to connect power from a motor to a driven machine (such as a pump or gearbox). They are positioned to ensure correct shaft alignment and efficient torque transmission.
Q: What are the main benefits of using jaw couplings with elastomer inserts?
A: Elastomer inserts provide excellent vibration and shock absorption, reducing wear on connected machinery. They also isolate minor misalignment, facilitate smooth torque transmission, and simplify maintenance with easy assembly and replacement.
Q: How should users customize bore sizes for their jaw coupling requirement?
A: Bore sizes are available in pilot bore as standard but can be machined to fit shaft sizes ranging from 10 mm to 60 mm. Specify the exact shaft dimensions when ordering for a precise fit and optimal coupling performance.
