PIN BUSH TYPE FLEXIBLE COUPLING SELECTION: The function of a PIN BUSH TYPE flexible coupling is to transmit torque from one shaft to another, to absorb shock loads and is particularly useful in case where limited misalignment may occur. The Flexitech Bush Type Flexible Coupling of the cushioned drive type. Transmits the torque through high tensile steel bolts to the machine input shat. Highly developed rubber compounds bushes are to absorb loads, torsional vibrations and slight misalignments. Simple and compact in construction the PIN BUSH TYPE flexible coupling is capable of transmitting high torques at maximum speeds. The flanges are manufactured with cast iron. This type of coupling permits drive in either direction and require neither lubrication nor adjustment after fitting. The flexibility of the product is resilient to water, dust and atmospheric conditions. Machines which are to be coupled by flexible couplings should first be aligned with all possible accuracy. The capacity of the coupling will then deal with misalignments which occur by temperature variations or heavy shaft loading. Setting of machine foundations (bearing wear) will also cause extra loading onto the imposed coupling. Any or all of these conditions can occur once the machines have been coupled. Flanges are bored to suit requirements and are matched to British Standard Specification, unless otherwise asked for. They can also be supplied with the listed minimum bore to permit machining on site.
