Application of Rubber Couplings
Rubber couplings are widely used in various mechanical transmission systems, such as industrial equipment such as generator sets, compressors, and machine tools. In the manufacturing process, there are many types and models of couplings that need to be selected based on specific transmission requirements.
Overall, rubber couplings play an important role in mechanical transmission, not only reducing equipment operating costs, but also improving equipment service life and stability.
1、 The Function of Rubber Couplings
Rubber coupling is a mechanical component that achieves shaft transmission through flexible connections of rubber materials. It mainly has the following functions:
1. Vibration relief: Due to the flexibility and elasticity of rubber, it can effectively alleviate vibration and impact during the transmission process, thereby extending the service life of the transmission system.
2. Absorbing shock: During the operation of mechanical equipment, the rubber coupling can absorb the shock generated during the start and stop of the equipment to avoid damage caused by the shock.
3. Reducing bearing load: Rubber couplings can transmit the rotation of the shaft to the other end of the shaft, balancing and sharing the load between coaxial bearings, thereby extending the service life of the bearings.
4. Adjusting the deviation of the shaft: Due to the flexibility of the coupling, it can also adjust the deviation of the shaft to a certain extent, maintaining the concentricity of the shaft.
