Your benefits from the flexible coupling

That’s right; Flexible Vulkan coupling EZ spares and other flexible couplings are typically used for plug-in assembly and are also rather easy to mount. In fact the flexible elements compensate the shaft misalignments while absorbing the moderate shock loads of motor or driven machine.

It is also pertinent to mention here, the typical standard couplings of typically a wide modular design range and application-related couplings cover a whole range of application level.

Typically a pipe coupling is a round hollow component which allows you to join two pipes. It also helps for housing bends in a pipeline system. But a rigid coupling doesn't always prove useful because some are susceptible to dimensional variations owing to heat or cold.

And this is where the Flexible couplings are widely used. Yes, these are used with pipe connections that are made from materials such as ductile iron, reinforced plastics, asbestos cement, PVC, and so on.

Aside from holding seams and joints securely in one place, the wide range of Vulkan coupling ez spares also contribute towards absorbing vibrations and in noise reduction. 

Your benefits from the flexible coupling

·        You get reliable transmission of torque even in in case of shaft misalignment with low restoring forces

·        These are also suitable for vertical mounting position

·        Electrically insulating series are also available

·        Very low degree of maintenance is required

In most of the case, during the first installation, regular couplings are used still when it comes to repair work, special repair couplings are used. These couplings are designed especially for pipe repair operations.

Types of Flexible Coupling and Vulkan coupling ez spares

Flexible Drain Connectors: These are typically used for modifications and repair work below bathroom sink and kitchen fixtures

Jaw Couplings: The locking ring which is available can be used to secure a split insert. The main advantage is, the locking ring can be inserted and even replaced without shifting the two hubs.

Flexible Rubber Coupling: This is typically used in pluming applications for installation and repair of waste lines.

Flexible Ventilation Duct Coupling: These are mostly used in HVAC to manage unusual turns and twists in ventilation, heating and exhaust systems.

Flexible Coupling is here for your need

Guess what companies can easily slim down their investment on pump and motor combination by nodding to Flexible Coupling in order to bid bye to optimum pump/motor interface and for aligning the driven shafts perfectly.  Perhaps this is why in the real world of power transmission, flexible couplings and Vulkan coupling ez spares are required.

Well, when it finally comes to the point of pump selection you should always be aware of the obvious trap, which is of course more the better is not always the case. In fact over-sizing a flexible coupling can in fact result in a serious reduction in required flexibility. It can also cause misalignment compensation and an over sized coupling can also put additional stresses on the pumps and motors being coupled.

On the other hand the flexible coupling that features too much misalignment capacity might turn out to be too soft or too 'compliant' and this may cause vibration or a total unbalanced condition in rotation. As a knowledgeable pump user therefore you should undertake a whole selection procedure that typically depends on the four basic conditions of shaft movement and misalignment such as - parallel misalignment, angular misalignment, end float and  torsional flexibility.

As a matter of fact the torsionally-flexible coupling helps in absorbing and dampening the above mentioned movements. In order to be termed as flexible, the Vulkan coupling ez spares should be able to handle parallel and angular misalignment. In addition, couplings with four-way flexibility  further can accommodate both end-float and torsional movement.

A good example of a four-way flexible coupling with good torsional flexibility is an elastomeric coupling that operates in shear. Their design enables the elastomeric flexible member to deform, or stretch, in shear, displacing under a load. It is also important to be mentioned here that the torsional flexibility of elastomeric shear couplings provides operating protection for the pump user.It also helps in dampening the amplitude of vibrations, thus isolating one shaft from the effects of the other.
