Jaw Elastomers Overview

Elastomers In Compression
We delivers 4 kinds of elastomer styles to permit for supplemental versatility in addressing particular application specifications. One piece designs are used in the “L” and “AL” versions (referred to as spiders) and numerous element “load cushions” are used in the “C” and “H” model couplings. The load cushions are in sets of 6 to 14 pieces according to coupling size.
Solid Center Spider
The solid center design and style is commonly applied layout when shafts from the driver and driven equipment might be kept separate by a standard gap
Open Center Spider
The open center design and style makes it possible for for your shafts from the driver and driven to be positioned within a brief distance
Open center spiders present shaft positioning versatility but have a decrease RPM capacity
Cushions
Made use of exclusively to the C and H Kind couplings
Load cushions are held in place radially by a steel collar which is attached to one of many hubs
Snap Wrap Versatile Spider
Design and style lets for quick elimination of the spider without having moving the hubs
Permits for shut shaft separation every one of the way as much as the hubs optimum bore
Maximum RPM is one,750 RPM together with the retaining ring, but when applied with the LC Kind (with collar) the normal RPM rating on the coupling applies
Design is accessible in NBR and Urethane only, and in restricted sizes
Spider Resources
SOX (NBR) Rubber
The regular material that’s really flexible material which is oil resistant
Resembles normal rubber in resilience and elasticity, and operates properly in temperature ranges of -40° to 212° F (-40° to 100° C)
Urethane
Has 1.five occasions greater torque capability than NBR
Very good resistance to oil and chemical substances
Materials supplies much less dampening result and operates at a temperature choice of -30° to 160° F
Hytrel
Versatile elastomer made for higher torque and high temperature operations
Operates in temperatures of -60° to 250° F (-51° to 121° C)
Bronze
Rigid, porous, oil-impregnated metal insert solely for low speed (max 250 RPM) applications requiring large torque capabilities
Not impacted by water, oil, dirt, or intense temperatures – operates in temperatures of -40° to 450° F (-40° to 232° C)
