Rubber Coupling By Rubber Engineering & Moulding Works

A rubber coupling is a mechanical component that connects two rotating shafts, transmitting torque while also providing flexibility to accommodate misalignment and dampen vibrations. It utilizes rubber elements to achieve these functions, making it suitable for applications where smooth operation and noise reduction are important.
Here's a more detailed description:
Key Features and Functions:
Torque Transmission:
Rubber couplings effectively transmit torque between the connected shafts.
Misalignment Compensation:
They can handle angular, axial, and parallel misalignment between the shafts, preventing damage from misalignment-related stress.
Vibration Dampening:
The rubber material absorbs and dampens vibrations, reducing noise and protecting connected components.
Flexibility:
Rubber couplings offer a degree of flexibility, allowing for some movement between the shafts while maintaining torque transmission.
Durability:
Many rubber couplings are designed for long service life and can withstand various operating conditions.
Ease of Maintenance:
They are often easy to install and maintain, sometimes not requiring lubrication.
Common Applications:
HVAC Systems: Used to connect fans, motors, and blowers, reducing noise and vibration.
Pumps and Compressors: Connecting motor shafts to pump shafts, isolating vibrations.
General Machinery: In various industrial applications where vibration damping and flexibility are needed.
Vehicle Components: In some cases, used in vehicle suspensions or other systems where vibration isolation is required.
Types of Rubber Couplings:
Round Rubber Couplings:
A common type, designed to connect two rotating parts using a circular rubber element.
Tyre Couplings:
Utilize a rubber tyre element to provide high flexibility and shock absorption.
Other Designs:
Various other designs exist, including those with reinforced rubber or specific shapes for particular applications.
