Easily removable gear coupling. Teeth use high-frequency hardening and surface uses chromate plating for high sturdiness. Tooth type uses crowning machining and can be utilized up to a optimum of 5°. Pilot hole products and shaft hole finish items with keyway and tap available
Gear couplings Gear Couplings Inner Hub And Ring Gear transmit the best amount of torque and the highest amount of torque in the smallest diameter of any flexible coupling.
Each coupling contains two hubs with crowned exterior equipment teeth. The hubs mesh with two internally splined flanged sleeves that are bolted collectively. Gear couplings accommodate angular and axial misalignment by the rocking and sliding of the crowned gear tooth against the mating sleeve teeth. Parallel misalignment is usually accommodated by having two adjacent hub/sleeve flex factors. Gear couplings require periodic lubrication depending on the application. They are delicate to lubrication failures but if correctly installed and managed, these couplings have something 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 due to misalignment. By eliminating tip-loading while reducing backlash and radial clearances,HEPT triple-crown teeth can help protect gear from damaging loads.
