Fixing Misalignments With Sleeve Couplings
Misalignments create unnecessary problems and disrupt torque transmission between mechanical components. They significantly reduce the efficiency of gears and splined shafts and lead to premature damage. True Gear & Spline Ltd. manufactures effective torque transmission solutions. Among our extensive list of products, sleeve couplings are designed to solve the misalignment crisis. Made of durable material, they stand the test of time. They are designed to perform optimally in medium and high-torque applications. In this blog, we list how exactly sleeve couplings fix misalignments and facilitate flawless torque transmission.
Sleeve Couplings Can Handle Different Types of Misalignments
Misalignment Tolerance
Sleeve couplings’ simple yet effective design makes them highly sought after. They can effectively handle angular, axial, and parallel misalignments, promoting uninterrupted torque transmission. Different types of couplings exist, each with a certain misalignment tolerance level. Talk to our team to source couplings that are ideal for your specific applications.
Vibration Dampening
Unnecessary vibrations and shocks lead to misalignments between two intersecting shafts. A sleeve coupling is essential to hold the intersecting shafts in place. A custom-made coupling can effectively keep vibrations and shocks in check, preventing equipment damage and downtime. Vibration dampening is also essential as it leads to energy loss.
Cost-Effective
You need not burn a hole in your pocket to fix slight misalignments between intersecting shafts. Sleeve coupling is an inexpensive solution to a problem with detrimental effects. Its quick manufacturing, longevity, easy installation, and low maintenance cost make it very cost-effective.
Compact Design
The compact design and minimal size of couplings mean they can be seamlessly installed. They won’t take up too much space or affect torque transmission in any way. No matter the complexity of the shafts, sleeve couplings can fix slight misalignments.
