Product Description
Custom Precision Clamping Type Flexible Disc Coupling Jaw Coupling Oldham Coupling with CNC Machining
Product Description
Coupling refers to a device that connects 2 shafts or shafts and rotating parts, rotates together during the transmission of motion and power, and does not disengage under normal conditions. Sometimes it is also used
as a safety device to prevent the connected parts from bearing excessive load, which plays the role of overload protection.
Couplings can be divided into rigid couplings and flexible couplings. Rigid couplings do not have buffering property and the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes. It is required that the 2 axes be strictly aligned. However, such couplings are simple in structure, low in manufacturing cost, convenient in assembly and disassembly, and maintenance, which can ensure that the 2 axes are relatively neutral, have large transmission torque, and are widely used. Commonly used are flange coupling, sleeve coupling and jacket coupling.
Flexible coupling can also be divided into flexible coupling without elastic element and flexible coupling with elastic element. The former type only has the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 axes, but cannot cushion and reduce vibration. Common types include slider coupling, gear coupling, universal coupling and chain coupling; The latter type contains elastic elements. In addition to the ability to compensate the relative displacement
of 2 axes, it also has the functions of buffering and vibration reduction.
Our leading mainly including universal couplings, drum gear couplings, elastic couplings etc.

Coupling performance
1) Mobility. The movability of the coupling refers to the ability to compensate the relative displacement of 2 rotating components. Factors such as manufacturing and installation errors between connected components, temperature changes during operation and deformation under load all put CHINAMFG requirements for mobility. The movable performance compensates or alleviates the additional load between shafts, bearings, couplings and other components caused by the relative displacement between rotating components.
(2) Buffering. For the occasions where the load is often started or the working load changes, the coupling shall be equipped with elastic elements that play the role of cushioning and vibration reduction to protect the prime mover and the working machine from little or no damage.
(3) Safe, reliable, with sufficient strength and service life.
(4) Simple structure, easy to assemble, disassemble and maintain.

How to select the appropriate coupling type
The following items should be considered when selecting the coupling type.
1. The size and nature of the required transmission torque, the requirements for buffering and damping functions, and whether resonance may occur.
2. The relative displacement of the axes of the 2 shafts is caused by manufacturing and assembly errors, shaft load and thermal expansion deformation, and relative movement between components.
3. Permissible overall dimensions and installation methods, and necessary operating space for assembly, adjustment and maintenance. For large couplings, they should be able to be disassembled without axial movement of the shaft.
In addition, the working environment, service life, lubrication, sealing, economy and other conditions should also be considered, and a suitable coupling type should be selected by referring to the characteristics of various couplings.

Electrical Insulation in Jaw Couplings
Jaw couplings are designed to provide mechanical connection between two shafts while also maintaining electrical insulation. This feature is essential in applications where the connected shafts have different electrical potentials or where electrical isolation is required to prevent current flow between the shafts.
The electrical insulation in jaw couplings is primarily achieved through the use of non-conductive materials for the jaw components. The jaws of the coupling are typically made from materials such as elastomers or plastics, which are excellent electrical insulators. These non-conductive materials prevent electrical conduction between the two shafts, even if they are made from different conductive materials.
Additionally, the design of the jaw coupling ensures that the two shafts do not come into direct electrical contact with each other. The jaws of the coupling create a gap between the shafts, which further enhances the electrical insulation.
It’s important to note that while jaw couplings provide electrical insulation, their primary function is to transmit torque and accommodate misalignment between shafts. If specific electrical insulation requirements are critical for an application, additional measures such as insulating sleeves or shaft grounding may be necessary in conjunction with the jaw coupling.
Overall, jaw couplings are a reliable and widely used choice for mechanical power transmission while ensuring electrical isolation between connected shafts.
Can jaw couplings be used in servo motor and stepper motor applications?
Yes, jaw couplings can be used in both servo motor and stepper motor applications, and they are commonly employed in such systems. The key factors that make jaw couplings suitable for these motor types are their ability to handle misalignment, their torsional flexibility, and their compact and lightweight design.
In servo motor applications, jaw couplings are chosen for their high precision and responsiveness. Servo motors require couplings that can transmit torque with minimal backlash and provide accurate motion control. Jaw couplings achieve this by maintaining a tight fit between the elastomer spider and the coupling hubs, minimizing backlash and ensuring precise torque transmission. The elastomer spider also dampens vibrations and shocks, contributing to smoother motor operation and increased system stability. Additionally, the compact size and low inertia of jaw couplings make them ideal for high-speed servo motor applications where quick acceleration and deceleration are crucial.
In stepper motor applications, jaw couplings are preferred for their ability to handle misalignment. Stepper motors often have shaft misalignment due to manufacturing tolerances or other factors, and jaw couplings can accommodate both angular and parallel misalignment without imposing significant additional loads on the motor bearings. This helps to reduce wear and extend the life of the motor and coupling components. Moreover, stepper motors are commonly used in open-loop systems, where precise positioning and motion control are essential. Jaw couplings’ low backlash characteristics aid in achieving accurate positioning and eliminating any motion inaccuracies that might arise due to backlash in the coupling.
Overall, jaw couplings are well-suited for servo motor and stepper motor applications due to their precision, ability to handle misalignment, torsional flexibility, and low inertia. When selecting a jaw coupling for a specific motor application, it is essential to consider factors such as torque requirements, operating conditions, and motor specifications to ensure optimal performance and reliability in the system.
Handling Misalignment with Jaw Couplings
Jaw couplings are designed to handle certain degrees of misalignment between shafts. They are flexible couplings that can accommodate both angular and radial misalignment to some extent. The elastomeric element in the jaw coupling provides the necessary flexibility to compensate for misalignment while transmitting torque between the shafts.
Angular Misalignment: Jaw couplings can handle small amounts of angular misalignment, typically up to a few degrees. However, excessive angular misalignment should be avoided as it can lead to increased wear on the coupling and connected equipment.
Radial Misalignment: Similar to angular misalignment, jaw couplings can also tolerate small amounts of radial misalignment. The elastomeric material allows the coupling to flex and adjust to minor shaft misalignments.
It’s important to note that while jaw couplings are suitable for handling some degree of misalignment, the actual allowable misalignment depends on the specific design and material of the coupling. Therefore, it is essential to refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines for the particular jaw coupling being used in an application.
For applications with significant misalignment or where precise alignment is critical, other types of flexible couplings, such as beam couplings or disc couplings, may be more appropriate. Proper alignment and regular maintenance are key factors in ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of the jaw coupling and the connected machinery.
