GEAR COUPLING

MECHAFLEX Crown Teeth Gear Coupling are result of several years of experience in the field of Mechanical Power Transmission.

 

MECHAFLEX Coupling have the capacity to take greater loads and higher torque rating. One can enjoy low maintenance cost, less down time and good performance from our product.


Gear coupling consist of two identical external toothed hubs, internal toothed sleeve having a matching number of teeth.

The meshed teeth transmit torque between the coupled shafts while allowing some misalignments to exist between them.
Flanged sleeve are bolted by hexagonal headed high tensile fit bolts. Sealing arrangement is provided to prevent the leakage of grease and prevent external drift from entering.


Gear Coupling accommodates angular & parallel misalignment or a combination of both as well as axial misalignment (end float). Ideal for all horizontal, closed coupled applications including fans, overhead craned, conveyors, steel & paper mill equipment.
One or both the hubs can be easily reversed for more than normal shafts separation applications.


Gear Hubs and the outer sleeves are manufactured from high quality carbon. They are machined to fine tolerance for proper meshing of the gears as well as for the inter-changeability. They are hardened to the required degree

​

Curved Tooth Flexible Gear Couplings are unique of its kind in the field of mechanical power transmission.

These gear couplings have outstanding features like mechanical flexibility and compensation of misalignment (angular, parallel and axial) of the connected shafts. These can used extensively in various industries like rolling mills, cranes, cement plants, dredgers, conveyors and elevators, rubber & plastic industries, compressors, fans, blowers, and in many other industries. These couplings consist of to halves with internal teeth having curved/ crowned shape & two outer sleeves with internal spur teeth.

 

Thus coupling ensures a greater flexibility because of its well designed tooth profile which allows a maximum area of contact between the external and internal teeth under any misaligned condition. Special ‘O’ rings have been provided at the end of the coupling hubs to prevent any leakage of the lubricant and entry of dust inside the coupling.

 

Up to size FGC - 03 both hubs and casings are made of steel confirming to 45C - 8 of IS : 1570. From size FGC - 04 casings are made of cast steel confirming to 23 - 45 of IS : 1030. Teeth of the couplings are heat treated to a hardness of HB 240 - 280. Bolts are also made of steel confirming to 45C - 8 of IS : 1570.
