Jaw Elastomers Overview

Elastomers In Compression
We features four sorts of elastomer models to permit for additional flexibility in addressing particular application requirements. A single piece models are utilized in the “L” and “AL” designs (referred to as spiders) and multiple element “load cushions” are used in the “C” and “H” model couplings. The load cushions are in sets of 6 to 14 pieces according to coupling size.
Solid Center Spider
The strong center layout is normally utilized design and style when shafts with the driver and driven gear might be kept separate by a typical gap
Open Center Spider
The open center design makes it possible for for the shafts from the driver and driven to be positioned inside a short distance
Open center spiders offer you shaft positioning flexibility but possess a reduced RPM capability
Cushions
Applied exclusively for your C and H Variety couplings
Load cushions are held in spot radially by a steel collar that’s attached to one of the hubs
Snap Wrap Versatile Spider
Layout enables for straightforward elimination of your spider devoid of moving the hubs
Permits for close shaft separation all of the way up to the hubs optimum bore
Maximum RPM is 1,750 RPM using the retaining ring, but when utilized with the LC Sort (with collar) the regular RPM rating from the coupling applies
Style is accessible in NBR and Urethane only, and in limited sizes
Spider Elements
SOX (NBR) Rubber
The typical material that’s hugely flexible material which is oil resistant
Resembles pure rubber in resilience and elasticity, and operates efficiently in temperature ranges of -40° to 212° F (-40° to 100° C)
Urethane
Has 1.5 times higher torque capability than NBR
Good resistance to oil and chemical substances
Materials supplies less dampening impact and operates at a temperature array of -30° to 160° F
Hytrel
Flexible elastomer developed for high torque and large temperature operations
Operates in temperatures of -60° to 250° F (-51° to 121° C)
Bronze
Rigid, porous, oil-impregnated metal insert exclusively for very low pace (max 250 RPM) applications requiring substantial torque abilities
Not impacted by water, oil, dirt, or intense temperatures – operates in temperatures of -40° to 450° F (-40° to 232° C)
