PC-Aluminum OD:25mm L:33mm Flexible Spider Shaft Coupling Bore: 5x12mm

These are also called as Elastomer Couplings because they are equipped with plastic or rubber material between the pair of aluminium jaws. Elastomeric types of couplings are capable of providing shock absorption. Minimum backlash is another great advantage of this Aluminium OD:25 mm L:33 mm Flexible Spider Shaft Coupling Bore: 5×12 mm.

The screws that clamp the shafts will be tightened, but not too much. These types of clamping couplings will not damage the shafts. It offers a very easy connection and disconnection. They are useful in reducing the angular and axial misalignment. The main attraction of this Aluminium OD:25 mm L:33 mm Flexible Spider Shaft Coupling Bore: 5×12 mm is its vibration damping ability.

One important thing to consider is all elastomers will break down over time. Avoid using elastomeric couplings in environments that will expose it to high temperatures or UV light because operating in these environments will reduce the coupling’s lifecycle considerably. Some of the important features of flexible shaft coupling are,

A coupling is a device which transmits power and torque. Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation. However, there are torque limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit exceeds. By careful selection, installation and maintenance of couplings, substantial savings are possible in reduced maintenance costs and downtime.

It can protect the driving and driven shaft members against harmful effects because of misalignment of the shafts, sudden shock loads, shaft expansion or vibrations etc
