Elastomers In Compression
We provides four kinds of elastomer patterns to permit for supplemental flexibility in addressing certain application demands. A single piece types are used in the “L” and “AL” designs (called spiders) and numerous element “load cushions” are used in the “C” and “H” model couplings. The load cushions are in sets of 6 to 14 pieces based upon coupling size.
Solid Center Spider
The solid center design is usually applied style and design when shafts in the driver and driven tools is often stored separate by a standard gap
Open Center Spider
The open center design will allow for your shafts with the driver and driven for being positioned within a quick distance
Open center spiders give shaft positioning flexibility but possess a decrease RPM capacity
Cushions
Employed solely for the C and H Style couplings
Load cushions are held in spot radially by a steel collar which is connected to one of several hubs
Snap Wrap Flexible Spider
Layout allows for uncomplicated elimination in the spider without the need of moving the hubs
Allows for shut shaft separation all of the way up to the hubs highest bore
Maximum RPM is one,750 RPM using the retaining ring, but if utilised together with the LC Kind (with collar) the standard RPM rating in the coupling applies
Design is available in NBR and Urethane only, and in constrained sizes
Spider Components
SOX (NBR) Rubber
The common material that is certainly hugely versatile materials that’s oil resistant
Resembles organic rubber in resilience and elasticity, and operates efficiently in temperature ranges of -40° to 212° F (-40° to 100° C)
Urethane
Has 1.5 instances greater torque capacity than NBR
Fantastic resistance to oil and chemicals
Materials offers much less dampening impact and operates at a temperature selection of -30° to 160° F
Hytrel
Versatile elastomer designed for substantial torque and large temperature operations
Operates in temperatures of -60° to 250° F (-51° to 121° C)
Bronze
Rigid, porous, oil-impregnated metal insert exclusively for reduced velocity (max 250 RPM) applications requiring high torque capabilities
Not impacted by water, oil, grime, or extreme temperatures – operates in temperatures of -40° to 450° F (-40° to 232° C)
