Jaw Coupling

SS Jaw Coupling;
Bore:3-40mm;
Diamenter:14-65mm;
Material: stainless steel anti-rusty suitable for food industry, chemical, medicine etc......

A jaw coupling is a device that connects two shafts together. This style of coupling is primarily designed as a method of reducing vibrations caused by minor misalignments in the two shafts. In addition to its vibration reduction, a jaw coupling is nearly fail-proof, as it connects together in a gear-like manner. A jaw coupling will transmit torque well, but the loose middle area of the coupling prevents it from safely transferring large bursts of energy.

The spider is the greatest weakness of the coupling. Even though it is the portion that gives it its superior vibration-dampening capabilities, it is also physically weak. Since the jaw coupling is physically connected, it will continue to work if the spider comes apart.
