Spare Elastomers

Special Features of various "ELASTOMERS"

  • Spider, Snap-wrap and Cushions are made from Petroleum oil resistant, highly resilient, abrasion resistant, elastic and high strength rubber
  • This superior quality rubber allows Utkarsh Couplings to work in a temperature range of 40°C to 100°C
  • Confirms to ASTM Specifications
  • A built in spacing feature Raised Dots maintains correct gap between the jaws
  • Spider, T Cushion and Snap wraps are also available in Polyurethane for higher torque and service life
  • Tyres and Bushes are made from natural rubber. Can withstand up to 70°C
  • Metal Elastomers are made from special S.S. to ASTM Specification.

FINISH BORE INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. While machining finish bore, ensure that it is concentric to Jaw OD
  2. Pilot Bore = Min. Bore – 2 mm
  3. Key-way should be at the center of two jaws
  4. For higher torque with fluctuations, clearance at the top of the key is recommended

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

  1. During alignment, hold a straight edge on both the jaws and see that there is no gap. Check the gap at least at three different positions.
  2. The gap between jaw and body should be equal and as specified
  3. All the foundation bolts should be properly tight
  4. The coupling should be free to rotate after alignment
  5. Check periodically that all foundation are properly tight and gap between the jaws is maintained

SPECIAL NOTE:

  1. Non standard couplings such as drum, V groove pulley etc. can be offered as we have the in-house expertise
  2. Coupling hubs in different material of construction are available on request
