Coupling Types And Trends

The following should be noted when selecting a coupling type:

(1) The size and nature of the necessary transmission torque, the requirements for buffering, vibration reduction function and whether resonance may occur.

(2) The relative displacement of the two axes is caused by manufacturing and assembly errors, shaft load and thermal expansion deformation, and the relative motion between components. (3) The form factor and installation method used, in order to facilitate assembly, adjustment and maintenance of the necessary operating space.

For large couplings, it should be possible to assemble the shaft without axial movement. Coupling industry will present the following trends: First, is very large, ultra-precision, long life, coupling will be developed. Second, is a variety of materials, a variety of colors, multi-layer multi-cavity, a variety of molding methods integrated couplingwill will be developed. Third, is the steel used in the coupling refining, in order to ensure the stability of raw material performance, such couplingwill will become the mainstream products of the market. Fourth, is the joint axis design, processing and various management will be digital, information-based direction of development. Fifth, is high-speed, high-precision, intelligent various coupling processing equipment will be further promoted and applied. Sixth, because of the new materials in the coupling industry to promote the application, high-performance, to meet the special purpose of coupling will continue to develop, and will produce some special, for advanced processing methods. Seven, is reverse engineering, parallel engineering, composite processing and even virtual technology will be further developed. Eight, is the degree of standardization of couplingwill will continue to improve? With the rapid development of modern metallurgical industry, the use of couplings for metallurgical enterprises has put forward high requirements. It not only needs to meet the requirements of high-speed, heavy-duty and high-precision of the manufacturer, but also meets the requirements of smooth operation, high transmission efficiency, long service life and simple maintenance.
