Plastic shaft coupling

Shaft couplings manufactured from plastic offer an excellent low cost equivalent to aluminium shaft couplings especially where the torque requirement is lower. This product range offers you a quality range of plastic injection moulded shaft couplings giving high torsional stiffness combined with exceptional durability to shaft misalignment. There are two basic designs called UJ and GJ. Type UJ is for lighter usage and smaller angular and parallel shaft offsets, whilst type GJ, with its two flexible elements, is ideal for medium usage.

Key product advantages;

• Low cost - High quality
• No maintenance
• Accept parallel and angular shaft misalignment's
• High torsional stiffness
• Accommodate axial compression
• Zero backlash torque transmission
• Provides thermal and electrical insulation between shafts
• Exceptional durability
• Trouble free set screw attachment to shaft
• Large variety of bore combinations 1.5mm to 12.00mm
• Constant velocity torque transmission under shaft offsets
• Low radial loads
• Low inertia
