Coupling Flashcards
5 types of ridgid coupling
sleeve compression ribbed flange face threaded
simple rigid coupling use in low speed and low torque application made of a heavy walled tube .Has a keyway in the bore and set of set screws
sleeve coupling
rigid coupling grip shafts using tapered sleeve in tapered hub. Use in moderate to light loads
compression coupling
rigid coupling used in heavy load and torque services. The two halves of the coupling are split parallel to the shaft axes and have machined keyways in both shafts
ribbed coupling
Coupling use in vertical pumps to connect shafts of different diameter
rigid multibore
Rigid coupling with male and female counterpart. Shafts locked into place with key and setscrew
flange face coupling
Rigid coupling common on vertical pumps where drive unit is connect to the pump by a series of drive shafts
threaded coupling
The amount of allowable misalignment for various types of coupling specified by manufacturer
absolute maximum
3 ways flexible coupling are classified
mechanically flexible
material flexible
combination
4 types of mechanically flexible coupling
roller
silent
synthetic chain
gear
mechanically flexible coupling with 2 sprockets keyed to the shaft
roller chain
mechanically flexible coupling for heavy duty drives used on two wide sprockets
silent chain coupling
mechanically flexible coupling used in light drives, for food, textile or other industries where oil and gas is not desirable
synthetic chain coupling
mechanically flexible coupling with 2 hubs with external sleeve and a sleeve with internal teeth
gear coupling
4 types of material flexible coupling
rubber tire
elastomeric
pin and biscuit
flexible metal disc coupling
