Machine Couplings

Professional jaw, tire and gear couplings. Compensation for shaft misalignment and effective vibration damping in drive systems.

What Are Machine Couplings and When to Use Them?

Machine couplings connect two shafts (e.g., motor and pump) to transmit torque. Their key function is to protect the system against overloads, damp vibrations, and compensate for shaft misalignment.

  • Damping of oscillations and vibrations
  • Compensation for shaft misalignment
  • Protection for bearings and gearboxes
  • Wide selection of types and sizes

Types of Machine Couplings

Jaw Couplings (Elastomeric)

Most commonly used in general drives. The elastomer insert reduces shock during start-up.

Tire Couplings

Highest degree of vibration damping. Ideal when shafts are not perfectly centered.

Gear Couplings

For extremely high torques in compact sizes.

Backlash-Free Couplings

For precision drives requiring accurate positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Selection depends on motor power, rotation speed, and operating conditions. Our engineers will help you choose the optimal solution based on drive parameters.
Yes, upon request, we provide couplings with holes bored to specific shaft diameters, along with keyways.
Replacement frequency depends on operating conditions. Elastomer inserts are supplied as spare parts for most types of couplings.
Tire couplings provide the highest degree of vibration damping and angular compensation. Ideal for drives with imperfect alignment.
