Rokee is a well-known high-quality supplier of Cone Flex Couplings and technical services in China, customize cone flex couplings according to user drawings, alternatively, if the user provides cone flex couplings parameters, we can select the model and design drawings for you, support wholesale and export.
Conical flex coupling is a specially designed mechanical transmission connection device that, through its unique conical structure and elastic elements, can effectively compensate for various deviations between shaft systems while transmitting torque. This type of coupling combines the high transmission efficiency of rigid connections with the compensation capability of flexible connections, playing an important role in modern industrial transmission systems.
Conical connector sleeve: adopting precision taper design (usually 1:10 to 1:30), achieving seamless connection through taper fitting
Elastic element: a cushioning component made of materials such as polyurethane, rubber, or metal springs
Clamping device: hydraulic or mechanical fastening system to ensure connection reliability
Anti loosening structure: including locking nuts, stop washers, and other anti loosening designs
Angle compensation capability: The typical compensation angle can reach 1.5-3 °, which is better than ordinary rigid couplings
Axial floating characteristic: allows for an axial displacement of ± 2-5mm and adapts to changes in thermal expansion
Vibration damping effect: Elastic components can reduce system vibration transmission by 20-30%
Maintenance free design: Most models adopt a fully enclosed structure and do not require regular lubrication
High torque density: The transmission torque per unit size is 15-25% higher than that of standard couplings
Wind power industry: used for power transmission between generators and gearboxes
Ship propulsion: connecting diesel engine and propulsion shaft system
Heavy machinery: Steel mills, mining equipment, and other high torque applications
Precision transmission: high-precision equipment such as CNC machine tools and robots
Petrochemical industry: connection of key equipment such as pump sets and compressors
When calculating the maximum torque of the system, a safety factor of 2-3 times should be considered
Verify whether the load at the shaft end is within the allowable range of the coupling
The influence of environmental factors (temperature, corrosiveness, etc.) on elastic components
Dynamic characteristic matching (critical speed, torsional stiffness, etc.)
Installation space limitations and maintenance accessibility
Cone cleanliness requirement Ra ≤ 1.6 μ m
Using specialized hydraulic tools to control installation pressure (usually 150-400 bar)
The axial thrust should achieve an accuracy of ± 0.05mm of the design value
The final locking torque shall be executed according to the manufacturer's specifications
Check the status of fasteners every 6 months
Perform vibration spectrum analysis annually
Replace elastic components every 2-3 years (depending on operating conditions)
Abnormal noise or vibration should be immediately stopped for inspection
The conical flex coupling continues to replace traditional coupling schemes in industrial fields that require high reliability and large torque transmission due to its excellent comprehensive performance. Proper selection and use can significantly improve the lifespan of the transmission system and reduce maintenance costs, making it an important choice in modern transmission engineering.
