Results for tag: "Gear Coupling"

Gear couplings are a type of fastener used to connect two rotating shafts. They are used in a variety of applications, including industrial machinery, automotive, and aerospace. Gear couplings are designed to transmit torque between two shafts while allowing for some degree of misalignment. They are typically composed of two hubs, a spacer, and a set of gears. The hubs are connected to the shafts, and the spacer is placed between the hubs. The gears are then inserted into the spacer and the hubs, and the coupling is secured with bolts. Gear couplings are available in a variety of sizes and materials, including steel, aluminum, and plastic. They are also available in a range of styles, including flexible, rigid, and semi-rigid. Gear couplings are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. Some of the leading companies in the gear coupling market include Lovejoy, Inc., Rexnord Corporation, The Timken Company, SKF, and KTR Corporation. Show Less Read more
