Tyre coupling is a high-performance coupling with elastic elements, named after its main structure resembling a tire. Since its emergence in the mid-20th century, this type of coupling has become an indispensable key component in modern mechanical transmission systems due to its unique performance advantages, and is widely used in various industrial fields.
Tire body: usually made of high-strength rubber or polyurethane material, in the shape of a circular tire, and is the main elastic element
Metal flange: a metal component connected to both sides of the tire body, used to connect with the drive shaft and the driven shaft
Tightening bolt: a high-strength bolt component that securely connects a flange to a tire body
Protective cover: a protective device equipped on some models to prevent external foreign objects from damaging the tire body
The working principle is based on the principle of elastic deformation: when there is relative displacement between the two axes, the tire body absorbs vibration and compensates for deviation through its own elastic deformation, while transmitting torque and rotational motion.
Excellent vibration damping performance: capable of effectively absorbing and isolating mechanical vibrations, reducing system noise
Large angle compensation capability: can simultaneously compensate for axial, radial, and angular deviations, with a maximum compensation angle of 5-10 degrees
No lubrication design: No need to add lubricating oil regularly, easy to maintain
High elasticity memory: able to quickly restore its original state after withstanding impact loads
Insulation performance: Rubber material has electrical insulation properties, which can prevent current conduction
Lightweight design: significantly reduced weight compared to metal couplings
Torque range: typically ranging from a few Newton meters to tens of thousands of Newton meters
Speed range: up to 10000rpm (depending on the specific model)
Working temperature: -40 ℃ to+100 ℃ (special materials can reach higher temperatures)
Elastic hardness: usually adjustable between 50-90 Shore A
Service life: up to 5-10 years under normal operating conditions
Shipbuilding industry: ship propulsion system, servo system
Power generation equipment: diesel generator set, steam turbine generator set
Metallurgical machinery: rolling mill, continuous casting machine
Mining machinery: crushers, ball mills
Petrochemical industry: Compressor and pump equipment
Rail Transit: Locomotive Transmission System
Transmitting torque: Calculate and determine the maximum torque required by the system
Speed requirement: Consider the working speed range
Deviation compensation requirement: Evaluate the possible types and quantities of deviations in the shaft system
Environmental conditions: temperature, humidity, corrosive media, etc
Space limitations: Install space size constraints
Dynamic characteristics: whether special vibration reduction requirements are needed
Ensure that the two axes are aligned within the allowable range
Tighten the bolts according to the specified torque value
Avoid using impact tools for installation
Check the gap between the coupling and adjacent components
Regularly inspect the elastomer for cracks and signs of aging
Check the tightening status of bolts
Clean the surface of the coupling, remove oil stains and foreign objects
Record the operating status and establish maintenance records
As an efficient and reliable transmission component, tyre couplings will continue to evolve with the advancement of industrial technology and demonstrate their value in more fields, providing smoother and more reliable power transmission solutions for mechanical equipment.
