Brake disc flexible coupling is a high-performance coupling device that combines transmission and braking functions, playing a key role in industrial transmission systems. This type of coupling integrates braking function and flexibility compensation capability through clever structural design, and is widely used in mechanical transmission applications that require precise braking and safety protection.
The brake disc flexible coupling is an integrated transmission component that achieves three major functions simultaneously: power transmission, displacement compensation, and brake control through a special structural design. This type of coupling mainly consists of three parts: the coupling body, the elastic element, and the brake disc assembly. The coupling body is responsible for transmitting torque, the elastic element provides vibration absorption and deviation compensation capabilities, and the brake disc achieves rapid braking and safety protection of the system. This integrated design greatly simplifies the transmission system structure, making it particularly suitable for applications with limited space and high requirements for braking performance.
From the perspective of structural design, the brake disc flexible coupling exhibits multiple innovative features. The main body of the coupling is usually made of high-strength alloy steel, which undergoes quenching and tempering heat treatment to achieve a hardness of HRC28-32, ensuring structural stability under high torque; Brake disc components are often made of wear-resistant cast iron or composite materials, with a stable friction coefficient between 0.35-0.45; The elastic components in the middle are made of different materials according to application requirements. Polyurethane elastomers are suitable for conventional working conditions, while metal spring components are more suitable for high-temperature and heavy-duty environments. This modular design allows for independent replacement of various parts of the coupling, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
The most prominent performance advantages of brake disc flexible couplings are reflected in three aspects: firstly, it can compensate for 1-5mm axial displacement, 0.5-3mm radial displacement, and 1-5 ° angular deviation through the deformation ability of elastic elements, significantly reducing the installation accuracy requirements; Secondly, the integrated brake disc design achieves fast response and reliable locking, and the static braking torque can reach 1.5-2 times the rated torque; Finally, its compact integrated structure saves 30% -50% of installation space, making it particularly suitable for the high space utilization requirements of modern mechanical equipment. Compared with the traditional "coupling+independent brake" split design, this integrated design can reduce more than 50% of the connecting components, improving system rigidity and reliability.
Flexible couplings for brake discs can be classified into various types based on their structural characteristics and braking principles, each with its unique advantages and application scenarios. Elastic brake disc coupling is the most common type, designed by combining polyurethane or rubber elastic elements with friction brake discs. During braking, axial pressure is used to bring the friction pads into contact with the brake discs, generating braking torque. This type of coupling has a simple structure and low cost. The static braking torque is usually 500-5000N · m, which is suitable for small and medium-sized transmission systems.
The flexible coupling of brake discs has been widely used in various industrial fields due to its excellent comprehensive performance. In the field of automated production lines, it is commonly used for power transmission and precise positioning of robotic arms, assembly machines, and conveying equipment.
