Rokee® Customized Flanged Coupling for Customers, Rokee® is a well-known high-quality supplier of couplings and technical services in China.
A flange coupling is a rigid coupling that connects two shafts through bolts and plays an important role in mechanical transmission systems.
The structural feature of the flange coupling is that it has flange plates at both ends, which are tightly connected together by bolts to achieve the connection and transmission of the two shafts. This type of coupling does not have radial, axial, or angular displacement compensation performance, therefore requiring high alignment accuracy between the two shafts.
There are various types of flange couplings, among which GT type flange couplings are a common type. This type of coupling uses bolts to connect two flange disc half couplings, which has the advantages of compact structure and high transmission efficiency. Its models range from GT30 to GT160 series, with shaft hole diameter matching range from 30mm to 160mm, and rated torque up to 500Nm to 33750Nm. In addition, depending on different usage requirements, flange couplings can also be made of different materials such as gray cast iron, carbon steel, or forged steel.
Due to its simple structure, reliable transmission, and strong load-bearing capacity, flange couplings are widely used in various mechanical transmission systems. Especially in low-speed, impact free, and high precision requirements for two axis alignment, flange couplings are the preferred transmission components. For example, in the power transmission system between Type II reducers and reactor agitator shafts, flange couplings play an important role.
When installing flange couplings, it is necessary to ensure the alignment accuracy of the two shafts to avoid vibration and noise caused by poor alignment. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly check the tightening of bolts to prevent coupling failure caused by loose bolts. In terms of maintenance, the surface of the coupling should be regularly cleaned of oil and debris to keep it clean and dry, in order to extend its service life.
Precautions
When choosing a flange coupling, the appropriate model and specifications should be selected based on the actual needs of the transmission system.
During installation and use, operating procedures and safety regulations should be strictly followed to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
If abnormal vibration, noise, or temperature rise is found in the coupling, it should be stopped in time for inspection and troubleshooting.
As an important mechanical transmission component, flange couplings play an irreplaceable role in various mechanical transmission systems. By reasonable selection, correct installation, and regular maintenance, the long-term stable operation of flange couplings can be ensured.
