Elastomer couplings

Vibration damping Elastomer Couplings: (0.5 – 25,000 Nm)

Elastomer couplings are essential in power transmission systems, providing flexibility, vibration damping, and misalignment compensation. These couplings use an elastomeric insert to absorb shocks, ensuring smooth torque transmission and enhanced machinery performance. The elastomer coupling design features two hubs machined concentrically with curved jaws, each secured by one clamping screw on both sides. The hubs are crafted from materials ranging from high-strength aluminum in series 450, steel in series 800, to GGG40 in series 2500. The elastomer insert is engineered from wear-resistant and thermally stable TPU, providing excellent durability and reliability in various industrial applications.

Key Features of Elastomer Couplings

• Vibration Damping – The elastomer insert absorbs shocks and reduces vibrations, protecting connected equipment.
• Zero Backlash – A press-fit elastomer ensures precise torque transmission with no play.
• Maintenance-Free – With no moving parts or lubrication requirements, these couplings offer a long service life.
• Misalignment Compensation – They accommodate angular, axial, and radial misalignments, reducing stress on components.
• Electrical Isolation – Standard elastomer couplings provide insulation between connected shafts.
• Wide Temperature Range – Different models can handle temperatures from -30°C up to +150°C, making them suitable for diverse operating conditions.

Common Applications

• Packaging Machinery – Ensures precise movement and smooth operation.
• Pump Drives – Reduces vibrations and extends pump lifespan.
• Machine Tools – Provides high precision in CNC and machining operations.
• Conveyors – Handles misalignments in material handling systems.
• Lift Systems – Enhances efficiency in elevators and hoists.

Elastomer couplings are a reliable choice for various industrial applications, offering durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. Whether in high-speed or heavy-load environments, these couplings ensure smooth and consistent performance. Reach out to BIBUS India sales for your custom application today!
