Flexible Pin Bush Coupling Cast Iron Power Transmission Couplings

The function of a flexible coupling is to transmit torque from one shaft to another and is particularly use full in case where limited misalignment may occur and also to absorb shock loads.

The FCL Bush Type Flexible Coupling of the cushioned drive type. Transmits the torque through high tensile steel bolts to the machine input shat. Highly developed rubber compounds are bushes to absorb loads. Torsional vibrations and slight misalignments.

Simple and compact in construction the Coupling is capable of transmitting high torques at maximum speeds. The flanges are manufactured with cast iron, this type of coupling permits drive in either direction and require neither lubrication nor adjustment after fitting. The flexible business remains unaffected water, dust and atmospheric conditions. Machines which are to be coupled by flexible couplings should first be aligned with all possible accuracy. The capacity of the coupling will then deal with misalignments which occur by reason of temperature variations or heavy shaft loading. Setting of machine foundations of bearing wear will also cause extra loading to be imposed on the coupling.Any or all of these conditions can occur once the machines have been coupled. Flanges are bored to suit requirements and are mayweed to British Standard Specification, unless otherwise stated. They can also be supplied with the listed minimum bore to permit machining on site.
