Universal Couplings

Couplings (Gear/Universal/Flexo Type) Universal couplings are used to connect the sets of axis and to transfer movement and angular force of mechanical products and have vast application in Hot Rolling Mills.They are classified into types of mechanical, hydraulic and electromagnetic. Mechanical type is the most common one. It is classified into rigid type, flexible type and safe type according to different standards & end user application Rigid type couplings have the main functions of connection and transmission, such as flanged type, sleeve type and clamping type, flexible type couplings have the main functions of connection, transmission, buffering and compensation, such as gear type, membrane type, chain type, universal type and non-metal flexible type. Safe couplings have functions not only as above mentioned, but also overload protection, such as ball type, friction type and pin connected type.
