Description
Jaw Couplings require no lubrication and provide high reliability for light to medium duty applications with good alignment of equipment and no requirement for torsional dampening.
In normal operating conditions there is no metal to metal contact so the life of the hubs is virtually indefinite. However, in a catastrophic failure of the element the load would still be carried by the hubs providing a degree of failure protection.
The standard element material is NBR (N)-‘Synthetic Rubber’. It is highly flexible, oil resistant and the torsionally softest of the element options. It has a temperature operating range suitable for most industrial applications and allows for up to 1 degree misalignment capacity of the connected shafts. NBR is the most economically priced option.
