What is a Metastream coupling?
Metastream membrane couplings have a multiple membrane (disc) design that does not require any lubrication and is designed with an industry leading scalloped membrane that helps improve the efficiency of your equipment. Applications Include: Centrifugal Pumps, ANSI Pumps, Mixers, Agitators.
How does a membrane coupling work?
Membrane disc couplings are flexible couplings that transmit torque, dampen torsional vibrations, and accommodate misalignment between shafts. They have an all metal, torsionally rigid design that has no moving parts. Flexible discs contained inside the membrane coupling deform to accommodate for misalignment.
What is clamp coupling?
Clamp coupling is a coupling method that can be used when joining two piping units or Hoses. It is one of the most popular methods and is also the most simple in design.
What is the other name for clamp coupling?
The clamp coupling joins two shafts when they are in alignment, and this coupling does not permit any movement of the shafts. It is also known as Split muff coupling.
What are types of coupling?
Types of Couplings
- Rigid coupling.
- Flexible coupling.
- Sleeve or muff coupling.
- Split muff coupling.
- Flange coupling.
- Gear coupling.
- Universal joint (Hooke’s joint)
- Oldham coupling.
Why couplings are used in industry?
Couplings are an important part of any machinery. They form the main and integral part of the rotation mechanism of any electrical and industrial machinery.
What is coupling classifying?
However there are two main types of couplings (Fig 1) which are (i) rigid couplings, and (ii) flexible couplings. Rigid couplings are used for shafts having no misalignment. Since these couplings cannot absorb any misalignment the shafts to be connected by a rigid coupling must have good lateral and angular alignment.
What is the requirement of coupling?
Requirements Of A Good Shaft Coupling It should be easy to connect or disconnect. It should transmit the full power from one shaft to other shaft without losses. It should hold the shaft in perfect alignment. It should reduce transmission of shock loads.
How do you specify a coupling?
How to select couplings
- Select the coupling type suitable to the intended usage.
- Select the material of the coupling in line with the environment of usage.
- Select the coupling size fitted to the torque, space and bore size required.
- Select the fastening method between the shafts and the coupling.
Why choose John Crane MetaStream flexible couplings?
John Crane Metastream flexible power transmission couplings are designed and selected to give an unlimited service if used within the parameters for which they are specified. Failures are rare and can generally be attributed to excessive misalignment, severe overload or a combination of both.
What is the technical specification for a flexible coupling?
T SERIES FLEXIBLE DISC COUPLINGS Technical Specification Notes: 1. For a complete coupling, weights of two appropriate hubs plus a transmission unit are required. 2. Hubs will be supplied unbored unless specified.
How do I request spares for my coupling?
When requesting spares, always quote the full designation of the coupling (e.g., TSCS-0120-0177-1500). The following spares can be purchased from John Crane: • Set of hub bolts (3) *please specify standard, long and/or disc hubs*
How to choose the right elastomer coupling for your application?
Elastomer Coupling such as operating factor, safety factor,engine factor,temperture factor. Selecting the proper type of coupling which has the valued torque higher than the operating torque. Installation. Mouting one hub to shaft, putting another loose for adjustment of space. Putting one half element around hubs and sevuring with cap screws.
