UK Suppliers of GE Series Couplings Low Backlash Jaw Couplings

The couplings are equally suited to horizontal or vertical shaft applications, providing positive power transmission and absorbing torsional, vibration and impact loads. The standard elastomeric ring is a black thermoplastic rubber of 94 shore A hardness selected for its resistance to wear, oil, chemicals, ozone and hydrolysis, which makes it suitable for tropical climates. Standard couplings can work in environments with temperature range -40°C to +125°C and withstand +150°C for short periods. The teeth of the gear ring are of involute form to prevent high stress concentrations in reduced surfaces, and crowned to avoid edge pressure on the teeth. The circular apertures on each hub are precision-machined to provide positive torque transmission with minimum backlash.
