Product Description
Main products
Coupling refers to a device that connects 2 shafts or shafts and rotating parts, rotates together during the transmission of motion and power, and does not disengage under normal conditions. Sometimes it is also used as a safety device to prevent the connected parts from bearing excessive load, which plays the role of overload protection.
Couplings can be divided into rigid couplings and flexible couplings.
Rigid couplings do not have buffering property and the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes. It is required that the 2 axes be strictly aligned. However, such couplings are simple in structure, low in manufacturing cost, convenient in assembly and disassembly, and maintenance, which can ensure that the 2 axes are relatively neutral, have large transmission torque, and are widely used. Commonly used are flange coupling, sleeve coupling and jacket coupling.
Flexible coupling can also be divided into flexible coupling without elastic element and flexible coupling with elastic element. The former type only has the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes, but cannot cushion and reduce vibration. Common types include slider coupling, gear coupling, universal coupling and chain coupling; The latter type contains elastic elements. In addition to the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes, it also has the functions of buffering and vibration reduction. However, due to the strength of elastic elements, the transmitted torque is generally inferior to that of flexible couplings without elastic elements. Common types include elastic sleeve pin couplings, elastic pin couplings, quincunx couplings, tire type couplings, serpentine spring couplings, spring couplings, etc
Coupling performance
1) Mobility. The movability of the coupling refers to the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 rotating components. Factors such as manufacturing and installation errors between connected components, temperature changes during operation and deformation under load all put CHINAMFG requirements for mobility. The movable performance compensates or alleviates the additional load between shafts, bearings, couplings and other components caused by the relative displacement between rotating components.
(2) Buffering. For the occasions where the load is often started or the working load changes, the coupling shall be equipped with elastic elements that play the role of cushioning and vibration reduction to protect the prime mover and the working machine from little or no damage.
(3) Safe, reliable, with sufficient strength and service life.
(4) Simple structure, easy to assemble, disassemble and maintain.
How to select the appropriate coupling type
The following items should be considered when selecting the coupling type.
1. The size and nature of the required transmission torque, the requirements for buffering and damping functions, and whether resonance may occur.
2. The relative displacement of the axes of the 2 shafts is caused by manufacturing and assembly errors, shaft load and thermal expansion deformation, and relative movement between components.
3. Permissible overall dimensions and installation methods, and necessary operating space for assembly, adjustment and maintenance. For large couplings, they should be able to be disassembled without axial movement of the shaft.
In addition, the working environment, service life, lubrication, sealing, economy and other conditions should also be considered, and a suitable coupling type should be selected by referring to the characteristics of various couplings.

Using Jaw Couplings in Applications with Varying Operating Temperatures
Jaw couplings are versatile and can be used in a wide range of operating temperatures. The suitability of jaw couplings for applications with varying temperatures depends on the specific material used in their construction.
Typically, jaw couplings are available in various materials, including:
- Aluminum: Aluminum jaw couplings are suitable for applications with moderate temperature ranges. They offer good strength and are lightweight, making them ideal for many industrial applications.
- Steel: Steel jaw couplings have higher strength and are suitable for applications with higher temperatures. They can handle more demanding conditions and are commonly used in heavy-duty machinery and equipment.
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel jaw couplings provide excellent corrosion resistance and are well-suited for applications that require resistance to moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures.
- Other Specialized Materials: Some jaw couplings are made from specialized materials, such as high-temperature alloys or composite materials, to handle extreme operating conditions.
When selecting a jaw coupling for an application with varying operating temperatures, it’s crucial to consider the specific temperature range the coupling will experience. Choosing the right material ensures that the jaw coupling can perform reliably without undergoing excessive wear or premature failure due to temperature-induced stresses.
In summary, jaw couplings can indeed be used in applications with varying operating temperatures, provided that the appropriate material is chosen based on the specific temperature range and environmental conditions of the application.
Can jaw couplings be used in applications with high shock and impact loads?
Yes, jaw couplings can be used in applications with high shock and impact loads, but their suitability depends on the specific design and construction of the coupling as well as the magnitude and frequency of the shock and impact loads. Jaw couplings are known for their ability to handle certain levels of shock and vibration due to the presence of the elastomer spider, which acts as a damping element to absorb and dissipate vibrations. However, there are some important considerations to take into account when using jaw couplings in high shock and impact load applications:
- Coupling Material: The choice of coupling material is crucial in applications with high shock and impact loads. Couplings made from robust materials, such as steel or alloy, provide better resistance to deformation and can handle higher impact forces compared to couplings made from less sturdy materials.
- Elastomer Spider: The elastomer spider is the central element of the jaw coupling and is responsible for absorbing shocks and vibrations. It is essential to select an elastomer spider with the appropriate hardness and resilience for the specific application. Harder elastomers can withstand higher loads but may transmit more vibration, while softer elastomers offer better shock absorption but have lower torque capacity. Choosing the right elastomer hardness is a trade-off between shock absorption and torque transmission requirements.
- Operating Conditions: Consider the operating conditions, such as the frequency and magnitude of shock and impact loads, when selecting a jaw coupling. For applications with intermittent or occasional shock loads, standard jaw couplings with moderate shock absorption capabilities may suffice. However, for continuous or severe shock loads, specialized high-torque jaw couplings with enhanced shock absorption properties might be more suitable.
- Regular Maintenance: In high shock and impact load applications, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance and inspections to identify any signs of wear, fatigue, or damage to the coupling components. Regular maintenance ensures that the coupling remains in good working condition and minimizes the risk of unexpected failures due to excessive loading.
- Consider Alternative Couplings: While jaw couplings can handle certain levels of shock and impact loads, some applications with exceptionally high loads may require more specialized couplings, such as grid couplings, gear couplings, or disc couplings. These couplings are designed explicitly for heavy-duty applications with high shock and impact loads and can offer superior performance and reliability under such conditions.
In conclusion, jaw couplings can be used in applications with high shock and impact loads, but the specific coupling design, material, elastomer hardness, and operating conditions must be carefully considered. Proper selection, installation, and maintenance of the coupling are essential to ensure reliable performance and longevity in challenging operating environments with significant shock and impact loads.
Selecting the Appropriate Jaw Coupling Size
Choosing the right jaw coupling size for a specific application involves considering several factors:
- Torque Requirements: Determine the maximum torque that the coupling will need to transmit in the application. Make sure to account for any peak or intermittent loads.
- Shaft Diameter: Measure the diameter of the shafts to be connected. The coupling’s bore size should match the shaft diameter for proper fit and secure power transmission.
- Speed: Consider the rotational speed of the application. High-speed applications may require special high-speed jaw couplings.
- Misalignment Compensation: Evaluate the level of misalignment present in the system, including angular, parallel, and axial misalignment. Choose a jaw coupling with appropriate misalignment capabilities to avoid premature wear and failures.
- Environmental Factors: Assess the environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and presence of chemicals or contaminants, as these factors can impact the coupling’s material selection and performance.
- Service Factors: Some applications may have service factors that affect the required torque capacity. Apply service factors as needed to ensure the coupling can handle the application’s demands.
- Space Constraints: Consider the available space for the coupling. Ensure that the selected jaw coupling can fit within the given space constraints.
- Compliance with Standards: If applicable, verify that the chosen jaw coupling meets industry or application-specific standards and regulations.
By taking these factors into account, engineers and designers can determine the appropriate jaw coupling size that will provide reliable and efficient power transmission in the specific application.
