Product Picture

 

 

 

 
 

These stainless steel shaft couplers allow you to couple 2 size shafts together. They can be used for connecting motor shafts to drive shafts, or 2 different-sized shafts. These shaft couplers have a length of 0.75″, a outer diameter of 0.42″, and couple 1/4″ to 5mm shafts.

Connect this to that with a set-screw coupler. These couplers are made of machined aluminum and have a spiral cut that makes them slightly flexible so they can be fit to 2 shafts even if they are not perfectly co-linear and will help reduce binding effects.  

 

This coupler will connect a 5mm diameter shaft to an 8mm diameter shaft. A perfect add on for motors. Comes with 2 sets of double set-screws (two per side) for secure attachment. You’ll need a 2mm allen wrench to tighten/loosen the set-screws.

Use of Jaw Couplings in Food Processing and Pharmaceutical Industries

Jaw couplings can be used in food processing and pharmaceutical industries under certain conditions and with the appropriate materials and design considerations. These industries have strict regulations and requirements regarding hygiene, contamination prevention, and cleanability. Here are some key factors to consider:

• Material Selection: For applications in food processing and pharmaceutical industries, jaw couplings must be made from materials that meet FDA and/or other regulatory standards for food contact and pharmaceutical use. Stainless steel or FDA-approved plastics are commonly used in such applications.
• Cleanability: The design of the jaw coupling should allow for easy cleaning and sanitization. Smooth surfaces and minimal crevices help prevent the accumulation of debris and bacteria. Hygienic designs are crucial to ensure compliance with industry standards.
• Sealing: Proper sealing is essential to prevent any lubricants or contaminants from escaping the coupling and coming into contact with the processed materials. Seal materials must be compatible with the substances used in the industry.
• Corrosion Resistance: In food processing and pharmaceutical environments, equipment is often subjected to aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals. Jaw couplings must be corrosion-resistant to withstand these harsh conditions and maintain their performance over time.
• Compliance with Regulations: Industries such as food processing and pharmaceuticals have specific regulatory standards, such as those set by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) or other relevant authorities. The jaw couplings used in these applications must meet all necessary regulations to ensure product safety and consumer confidence.

It is important to note that while jaw couplings can be suitable for certain applications in food processing and pharmaceutical industries, it is essential to work closely with coupling manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that the selected couplings meet all industry-specific requirements and standards. Additionally, regular maintenance and inspection should be carried out to ensure the couplings continue to perform as expected and comply with hygiene and safety regulations.

What are the common signs of wear and failure in jaw couplings?

Jaw couplings are reliable components, but like any mechanical part, they can experience wear and eventually fail if not properly maintained or replaced when necessary. Here are some common signs of wear and failure to look out for in jaw couplings:

• Excessive Vibration: Increased vibration during operation may indicate wear in the elastomer spider or misalignment between the coupling hubs. Excessive vibration can lead to further damage and should be addressed promptly to prevent more significant issues.
• Abnormal Noise: Unusual noises, such as rattling, clanking, or squeaking sounds, can indicate wear, misalignment, or damage in the jaw coupling. A well-functioning jaw coupling should operate smoothly and quietly.
• Visible Cracks or Damage: Inspect the jaw coupling regularly for any visible cracks, tears, or damage to the elastomer spider or coupling hubs. Cracks in the elastomer can lead to reduced torque transmission and compromise the coupling’s performance.
• Loose or Displaced Spider: A loose or displaced elastomer spider may result from wear or improper installation. The spider should fit securely between the coupling hubs. Any sign of misalignment or gaps in the spider indicates potential wear or failure.
• Increased Heat: Excessive heat generation in the jaw coupling could indicate high levels of friction or misalignment, leading to wear on the elastomer spider. Elevated temperatures can accelerate wear and shorten the coupling’s lifespan.
• Shaft Misalignment: If you notice misalignment between the connected shafts, it can be a sign that the jaw coupling is no longer compensating for misalignment properly. This can lead to increased stress on the shafts and coupling components.
• Reduced Performance: A jaw coupling nearing the end of its service life may experience reduced torque transmission and compromised rotational speed control. As the elastomer spider wears, the coupling’s ability to transmit torque efficiently diminishes.
• Unexpected Downtime: Frequent unexpected shutdowns or downtime may indicate coupling failure. Sudden coupling failure can lead to costly equipment damage and unplanned production halts.

It is essential to conduct regular maintenance and inspections to detect these signs of wear and failure early. Preventive measures such as proper lubrication, alignment checks, and timely replacement of worn elastomer spiders can extend the life of the jaw coupling and prevent unexpected failures.

If any of these signs are observed, it is advisable to consult coupling manufacturers or maintenance professionals for a thorough assessment and appropriate corrective actions.

Comparing Jaw Couplings to Other Types of Couplings in Performance

Jaw couplings offer certain advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of couplings, and their performance characteristics vary based on the specific application requirements. Here’s a comparison of jaw couplings with some commonly used coupling types:

• Jaw Couplings vs. Gear Couplings: Jaw couplings are more economical and easier to install than gear couplings. They can handle misalignment to some extent, but gear couplings are better suited for high torque and high misalignment applications.
• Jaw Couplings vs. Disc Couplings: Both jaw couplings and disc couplings provide some level of misalignment compensation, but disc couplings offer higher torque capacity and better torsional stiffness. Jaw couplings are generally more cost-effective for low to moderate torque applications.
• Jaw Couplings vs. Oldham Couplings: Jaw couplings are torsionally stiffer than Oldham couplings, which means they provide more accurate torque transmission. However, Oldham couplings can accommodate higher misalignment and have no moving parts, making them suitable for some low-speed applications.
• Jaw Couplings vs. Flexible Beam Couplings: Beam couplings are more flexible than jaw couplings and can handle higher misalignment. However, jaw couplings have a higher torque capacity and can dampen vibration better in certain conditions.

Ultimately, the choice of coupling depends on the specific needs of the application, including factors like torque requirements, misalignment, speed, and cost considerations. It’s essential to carefully evaluate the performance characteristics of different coupling types and select the one that best suits the demands of the mechanical system to ensure reliable and efficient power transmission.
