Axial Travel Type Gear Couplings

Our HP500 range of High Power Gear Couplings come with Axial Travel as standard. High axial travel tolerance has been designed into this range of gear couplings. High axial travel capability compensates for substantial machine movement and can increase the reliability of the coupling for the customer.

The two axial travel couplings illustrated have been incorporated into a cardan shaft design. The end user customer wanted one design of coupling to fit into a variety of different positions in their mill which had a number of different distances between shaft ends and the HP500 axial travel design enabled them to achieve this using one design.

This enabled them to only stock one spare coupling which could be utilised throughout this part of their mill regardless of position and DBSE.
