Standard and double-ended spacer couplings available for shaft separations of 25.4 to 3,048 mm (1 ~ 120"), for increased application acceptance
Four bore options available to meet customers needs:
1) Bored, keyed and set screw style ~ clearance or interference fit
2) Bushing style (Dodge®, Browning® & QD style taper lock bushings)
3) Splined style
4) Mill-motor style (tapered shaft)
Stainless steel versions available for corrosive environments
Four insert choices for varying torque needs and temperature ranges, up to 177°C (350°F)
Replaces many common gear, grid and elastomeric couplings used in high and low torque applications to reduce plant complexity
Inherently balanced from precision machining of all components
Split-cover options help resist axial separating force under high torque
Standard finished bore hubs are supplied with a clearance fit and should slide onto the shaft without excessive force. There is no suffix designating a clearance fit
If the hub has been ordered with interference fit, designated by the suffix "U", then industry standards suggest heating the coupling halves to approximately 300° C (572° F) before installing on shafts. If they are not heated properly, the couplings will not fit on the hub properly
