Easily removable gear coupling. Teeth use high-frequency hardening and surface area uses chromate plating for high longevity. Tooth type uses crowning machining and can be used up to a optimum of 5°. Pilot hole items and shaft hole comprehensive products with keyway and tap available
Gear couplings transmit the highest amount of Gear Couplings Inner Hub And Ring Gear torque and the highest quantity of torque in the tiniest diameter of any flexible coupling.
Each coupling contains two hubs with crowned exterior gear teeth. The hubs mesh with two internally splined flanged sleeves that are bolted together. Gear couplings support angular and axial misalignment by the rocking and sliding of the crowned gear teeth against the mating sleeve tooth. Parallel misalignment is definitely accommodated by having two adjacent hub/sleeve flex points. Gear couplings require periodic lubrication based on the application form. They are sensitive to lubrication failures but if correctly installed and preserved, these couplings have a service life of three to five 5 years and in some cases they can last for many years.
Gear Couplings’ triple-crowned teeth are crowned on the main, tip and face to articulate freely and minimize wear caused by misalignment. By eliminating tip-loading while reducing backlash and radial clearances,HEPT triple-crown teeth might help protect gear from damaging loads.
