Amerigear® Gear Couplings

Amerigear® stands out as the first and finest flexible coupling with fully crowned gear teeth. Unlike conventional gear tooth forms, the Amerigear fully crowned tooth represents a monumental achievement in gear design, with all three working portions of the tooth crowned.

As a result, the teeth function like a rocking chair, able to slide freely in the axial direction without damaging or scraping the internal mating teeth. Due to this design advantage, Amerigear Flexible Couplings with Fully Crowned Gear Teeth offer operational benefits such as maximum load-carrying capacity, minimum size, maximum reliability, and long life.
