Eurogrip® flexible couplings are designed to connect two axes exposed to misalignment or axial movements and can eliminate the tension that would result from a rigid joint.
They consist of a rubber sleeve and two metal ends.
Their construction is really special, with the OGCEE lines, which allow the joint to act as an indicator of torque / duration for the transmission.
Gates Eurogrip® flexible couplings are available in sizes 19, 28, 42, 48, and 60 and the metal parts have a conical hole for a compass or a cylindrical hole with keyway. They are characterized by a high vibration damping factor, which makes them particularly suitable for direct drive applications, such as in pumps in compressors.
This high ability to dampen vibrations is precisely estimated by designers of speed regulation systems, where resonance can create problems. The joints do not show any play and are particularly suitable for applications such as linear actuators, thanks to positioning accuracy and repeatability. |
