Gear Coupling
A gear coupling is one of the types of couplings used to connect two shafts and transmit torque between them. Due to their specific design, these couplings can transmit very high torques and are widely used in heavy industries such as steel, cement, oil and gas, and heavy machinery.
Features of Gear Couplings:
- High Torque Transmission: Gear couplings can transmit high torques with minimal slip.
- Misalignment Tolerance: These couplings can accommodate a small amount of axial, angular, and radial misalignment.
- Compact Design: Compared to other types of couplings, gear couplings have a more compact size, making them easier to use in confined spaces.
- Resistance to Shock and Vibration: Due to their toothed design, these couplings have high resistance to vibration and sudden shocks.
