Solid Variety Of Belt Drives
Couplings are used to connect prime movers to driven items, for example motors to gearboxes. The type of coupling used will depend on the power transmitted, and selection is based on the power and speed of the shaft to be connected. VITAL can help to choose the right coupling to do the job
Chain
Chain Comprising two sprockets with hardened teeth joined together with a length of roller chain, these simple but very effective couplings offer easy assembly with a very robust performance.
Disc
This style of non lubricated fl exible coupling is popular on all types of rotating equipment.
Tyre
Tyre couplings are highly elastic, lubrication free, and tolerate large amounts of misalignment in all planes. With simple installation, this style of coupling has great shock absorbing properties
Jaw
Jaw couplings offer a low cost flexible solution to a whole host of applications. Amongst their benefits are their absorption of incidental misalignment, shock loads and low vibration.
Spider
A low powered, torsionally flexible coupling combining good absorbing and misalignment properties. Of compact design, they have a high torque capacity.
Nylicon
Thethermosetting plastic sleeve provides a non conductive assembly, and the staggered internal teeth ensure uniform loading. No maintenance is required, making it ideal in hostile environments.
Crown Pin
A heavy duty coupling with extended power capacity, its construction makes it suitable for the most arduous of conditions.
Gear
A heavy duty range of couplings giving maximum power capacity with minimum space requirements combined with excellent misalignment properties.
Universal Joints
VITAL can supply a wide range of universal joints, including single and double knuckle construction. The single knuckle can accept up to 35 degrees of shaft misalignment, whilst the double can go to 70 degrees.
Rigid
A range of rigid couplings available for axial or radial connection. Mainly available in steel construction for use in heavy duty applications.
