ROTEX® torsionally flexible jaw couplings are elastomer couplings characterized by a compact design. In spite of low weights and mass moments of inertia of the elastomer couplings they are able to transmit high torques.
How do I order a spider coupling?
How to Order
- Complete Coupling: Jaw couplings are an assembly of two hubs and one spider.
- Hubs: Choose two hubs in inch or metric in any style with the same outside diameter.
- Spider: Choose spider to match performance criteria. The spider must have the same outside diameter as both hubs.
How are Lovejoy couplings measured?
The BSE (shaft separation) dimension should be measured from the end of one shaft to the end of the other shaft, not to hub faces or pilots. Lovejoy manufactures couplings based on the shaft data provided by the purchaser.
What is Spider coupling used for?
Jaw and Spider Couplings. Jaw & Spider (or Jaw-Type) couplings are a common type of shaft coupling in the industry. They are designed to transmit torque and rotation between two shafts, accept shaft misalignment, and help protect components from damage by damping shock and vibrations.
What does a jaw coupling do?
A jaw coupling is a type of general purpose power transmission coupling that also can be used in motion control (servo) applications. It is designed to transmit torque (by connecting two shafts) while damping system vibrations and accommodating misalignment, which protects other components from damage.
What is coupling types of coupling?
Clamp or split-muff or compression coupling, and. Flange coupling. Flexible coupling. Bushed pin-type coupling, Universal coupling, and.
How do spider couplings work?
Jaw couplings are made up of three parts: two metal hubs sandwiched around an elastomer insert commonly called a “spider.” The three parts press-fit together, and a metal jaw from each hub meshes with the lobes of the spider. Torque is transmitted through the elastomer spider in compression.
