Gear Couplings are essential mechanical components used to transmit torque between two shafts while accommodating misalignment. With decades of engineering excellence, our high-performance Gear Couplings deliver superior durability and efficiency for industrial applications.
Model | Bore Range (mm) | Max Torque (Nm) | Max Speed (RPM) | Weight (kg) |
---|---|---|---|---|
GC-100 | 20-50 | 850 | 5000 | 4.2 |
GC-200 | 55-100 | 3200 | 3600 | 12.5 |
GC-300 | 110-180 | 8500 | 2400 | 28.7 |
Q: What maintenance does a Gear Coupling require?
A: Gear Couplings require regular lubrication every 3-6 months depending on operating conditions. Inspect tooth wear annually and check for proper alignment quarterly. Our couplings feature grease fittings for easy maintenance without disassembly in most cases.
Q: How do I select the right Gear Coupling size?
A: Proper Gear Coupling selection requires evaluating four key factors: torque requirements (including shock loads), shaft sizes, operational speed, and misalignment conditions. Our engineering team can assist with calculations based on your specific application data to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Industry | Typical Use Case | Recommended Model |
---|---|---|
Mining | Crusher drives, conveyor systems | GC-300 series |
Power Generation | Turbine couplings, generator sets | GC-200 series |
Marine | Propulsion systems, pump drives | Stainless steel GC-100 |
Q: What's the typical lifespan of a Gear Coupling?
A: With proper installation and maintenance, our Gear Couplings typically last 5-10 years in standard industrial applications. Factors affecting lifespan include operating conditions (temperature, exposure), load characteristics (constant vs shock), and maintenance frequency. Premium models with special materials can exceed 15 years in favorable conditions.
Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Excessive vibration | Misalignment, worn teeth, imbalance | Re-align, inspect teeth, balance assembly |
Overheating | Insufficient lubrication, overload | Re-lubricate, check load conditions |
Premature wear | Contamination, improper installation | Clean housing, verify installation |
