There are two main types of jaw couplings: straight tooth jaw and curved jaw.
Straight tooth jaw couplings are the most common type and are typically used for applications with lower torque and misalignment requirements.
Curved jaw couplings are more robust and can handle higher torque and misalignment requirements.
The elastomeric insert is the part of the jaw coupling that absorbs misalignment and vibration.
The most common type of elastomeric insert is made of polyurethane. However, other materials such as neoprene and nitrile rubber can also be used.
The best material for your application will depend on the operating temperature, the amount of misalignment, and the level of vibration absorption required.
Jaw couplings are typically made of aluminium, cast iron and steel. The best material for your application will depend on the environment in which the coupling will be used and the level of corrosion resistance required.
The size of the jaw coupling you need will depend on the torque and misalignment requirements of your application. You should also consider the bore size of your shafts and the distance between the shafts. Why not give one of our experienced engineers a call to help with your selection.
The lifespan of a jaw coupling will depend on a number of factors, including the type of coupling, the material, the application, and the maintenance schedule.
