How to Choose a Coupling Between a Gearbox and Driven Machine
Select a gearbox output coupling by torque, speed, shaft connection, misalignment, torsional behavior, environment, and maintenance access.
SINO INDUSTRY SECTION
Mechanical seals, couplings, fasteners and other components that keep equipment working.
Select a gearbox output coupling by torque, speed, shaft connection, misalignment, torsional behavior, environment, and maintenance access.
Select locating and floating bearing positions by defining thrust paths, thermal expansion, ring fits, retention features, and installation checks.
Select industrial fastener materials and coatings by evaluating corrosive exposure, joint design, strength, temperature, installation and verification needs.
Select rigid, flexible, or fluid couplings by torque, speed, alignment, torsional duty, environment, and maintenance access.
Select a pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic valve actuator by checking load, fail action, duty, utilities, controls, environment, and acceptance tests.
Select a pump mechanical seal by checking fluid compatibility, seal-chamber duty, dry-run risk, arrangement, support system, and supplier documents.
Understand bolts, screws, studs, nuts, washers and locking methods by load, joint design, material and service.
Select mechanical seal faces, elastomers, arrangement and support system for pump fluid, pressure and temperature.
Compare elastomeric, grid, gear, disc and rigid couplings for misalignment, torque, stiffness and maintenance.
