Flange couplings are essential components in power transmission systems, providing a rigid connection between rotating shafts. Our precision-engineered flange couplings ensure maximum torque transmission while maintaining shaft alignment in demanding industrial environments.
Model | Bore Size (mm) | Torque Capacity (Nm) | Max RPM | Weight (kg) |
---|---|---|---|---|
FC-100 | 10-25 | 120 | 6000 | 2.1 |
FC-200 | 20-50 | 450 | 4500 | 4.8 |
FC-300 | 40-75 | 950 | 3500 | 9.3 |
FC-400 | 60-100 | 1800 | 2500 | 16.5 |
Q: What is the main advantage of using a flange coupling?
A: Flange couplings provide a rigid, precise connection between shafts with excellent torque transmission capabilities. They maintain perfect alignment better than flexible couplings in applications requiring precise positioning.
Q: How do I properly install a flange coupling?
A: Flange couplings should be installed on clean, properly aligned shafts. Tighten bolts gradually in a cross pattern to ensure even pressure distribution. Always use the recommended torque values for the mounting hardware.
Q: What maintenance do flange couplings require?
A: While flange couplings are generally low-maintenance, periodic inspection is recommended. Check for loose fasteners, wear patterns, and corrosion. Lubricate bolts and contacting surfaces as specified in the product documentation.
Our flange couplings are available in various materials to suit different operating conditions:
Industry | Application | Recommended Model |
---|---|---|
Manufacturing | Conveyor systems | FC-200, FC-300 |
Energy | Pump drives | FC-300, FC-400 |
Marine | Propulsion systems | FC-400 (stainless) |
Food Processing | Mixer drives | FC-100 (nickel-plated) |
Q: Can flange couplings be used for misaligned shafts?
A: No, flange couplings are designed for precise shaft alignment. For misaligned applications, consider flexible couplings or universal joints instead.
Q: What is the typical service life of a flange coupling?
A> With proper installation and maintenance, our flange couplings typically last 5-10 years in normal operating conditions. Harsh environments may reduce this lifespan.
Q: Do you offer custom-sized flange couplings?
A: Yes, we can manufacture flange couplings to meet specific dimensional requirements with a minimum order quantity. Contact our engineering team for custom solutions.
