Introduction
Rotex type Universal Jaw Coupling is a flexible coupling that can transmit torque between two shafts, even if the two shafts are not perfectly aligned. It is widely used in manufacturing plants and machinery.
History and Categorization
The Rotex type Universal Jaw Coupling was first introduced in the early 1950s. It has since become one of the most popular types of flexible couplings. There are two main types of jaw couplings: the single-piece and the split-type. The split-type is easier to install and maintain.
Benefits
The Rotex type Universal Jaw Coupling can handle high torque while absorbing shock and vibration. It is easy to install, align, and replace. It requires no lubrication, and is resistant to oil, grease, and other contaminants. It is also cost-effective and has a long service life.
Materials and Usage Scenarios
The Rotex type Universal Jaw Coupling consists of two metallic hubs and an elastomer insert called an element. The two hubs are made of steel and are suitable for drive components subject to high loads, such as steel mills and elevator drives. The element is made of rubber and can absorb vibration, parallel, angular, and axial misalignments. The coupling is suitable for power transmission to industrial equipment such as pumps, gearboxes, compressors, blowers, mixers, and conveyors.
Installation, Maintenance, and Repair
To install the Rotex type Universal Jaw Coupling, first make sure that the shafts are aligned and clean. Then, slide the element into one hub, and press the other hub onto the opposite end of the element. Tighten the screws on each hub to the recommended torque. To maintain the coupling, periodically check for wear or damage on the element, and replace it if necessary. To repair the coupling, simply replace the damaged element.
