Standard snake spring coupling

Series JS Steelflex Tapered Grid Coupling is a kind ofsteelflex coupling with advanced structure, whose torqueis transmitted by the grid. Following is the function andadvantages of the coupling:

1.Good vibration-dampening capability and long ser-vice life

This coupling can join driven machine to prime moverby axially inserting grid into the tooth grooves of two hubs.When machine work , The torque, which created from thedriving teeth apply the tangertial force to grid. can be trans-mitted to drive the driven parts. So the resonance of driv-ing mechanism and driven mechanism can be avoided ef-fetely. And the elastic deformation of the grids during courseof the torque transmitted, that can improve vibration damp.ening ability of the system. Statistical data stating, theaverage ratio of vibration dampening can reach to 36% ormore.

A trapezoidal section grid is made of high strength springsteel, it is heat-treated strictly and treated through spe-cial process, it has excellent mechanical properties. Sothe service life of this coupling is much longer than that ofnon-metallicflex couplings.

2. A wide range of load, starting safely

The contact surface between two hubs and grid isarched shape. When the torque is increasing, The gridwill be deformation along the arched tooth face, that makethe distance of force point which applied on the grid bytwo hubs closed (for details see fig. 2).The change amountof contact point and the variation of torque depend on thevariation of transformation torque.The transformation prop.erties are varying stiffness. So this coupling can bear lar-der load variation than common steelflex couplingSee from fig2,especially when the compliance startedand shock loaded, the performance of damping from thetransmission strength force the grids deformed, which canprotect all kits, that make work safer.

3. High efficiency oftransmission, High reliability servicesThrough testing, the transmission efficiency is as muchas 99.47%.Short overload capacity is more than 200%rated torque. The machine runs safely and reliably.4. Lower noise and good lubricityAluminum-alloy cover can avoid the grid be thrown outduring operated. Grease filled into the cover assures goodlubricity and eliminates the noise.

5.Simple construction, Easy assembly and disassembleThe Complete set made up of only a few componentswith small size and lightweight. it's extra convenient ofmeshing oftrapezoid section grids and trapezoidal groovesthat makes it easier than common coupling on assembly.disassemble and maintenance.

6. Large allowable deviation of assemblyAs the contact between grid and arched tooth is coin-cident automatically, the coupling can work normally withradial, angular and axial assembly deviation. The details
