The coupling is one of the key components in mechanical transmission. It consists of two rotating bodies with flanges. The two half coupling sleeves mesh with the upper tooth profiles of the driving gears on both sides to transmit torque.
The coupling is one of the key components in mechanical transmission. It consists of two rotating bodies with flanges. The two half coupling sleeves mesh with the upper tooth profiles of the driving gears on both sides to transmit torque. Working under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, its reliability, life and performance have an important impact on the working accuracy of the entire mechanical system.
The common ordinary double-flange rigid straight gear coupling is a basic type of flexible coupling with a pair of semicircular flange outer rings (referred to as inner rings) with the same pitch circle diameter and a grooved outer ring (referred to as outer rings) connected by bolts. It has a simple structure, high strength, large load-bearing capacity, and easy disassembly and assembly. This structural form is widely used as an intermediate transmission element in various mechanical equipment.
Its main advantages are:
(1) It has large radial stiffness and angular displacement capacity;
(2) It has a simple and compact structure;
(3) It is easy to manufacture and low cost;
(4) It can allow a large relative offset without causing additional bending stress or torsional deformation stress;
(5) It is suitable for situations where the axis deviation is not more than 2° at medium speed.
