About Shaft Couplings

Clamping Vibration-Damping Precision Flexible Shaft Couplings


Designed to grip evenly around your shaft, these couplings provide more holding power than set screw couplings without marring the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure. Good for precision motor and pump applications, the spider-shaped cushion reduces shock and compensates for minor shaft misalignment. Couplings allow zero backlash (no play).
A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider (each component sold separately). Hubs are lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum. Spiders are polyurethane for fair vibration damping and good chemical resistance.

The included set screw holds the coupling in place. Good for precision motor and pump applications, the spider-shaped cushion reduces shock and compensates for minor shaft misalignment. Couplings allow zero backlash (no play).
A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider (each component sold separately). Spiders are polyurethane for fair vibration damping and good chemical resistance.
Nylon hubs are electrically insulating, corrosion resistant, and lightweight. They also are slightly more forgiving of misalignment than aluminum hubs.
Aluminum hubs have good corrosion resistance and are lightweight, though not as lightweight as nylon hubs.

Servomotor Precision Flexible Shaft Couplings
Able to handle high twisting forces as well as misalignment, these couplings are good for high-performance servomotor applications. Couplings are aluminum and stainless steel for corrosion resistance and allow zero backlash (no play). They grip evenly around your shaft for a strong hold without marring the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure.

Set Screw Flexible Shaft Couplings




Each hub includes a set screw (unless noted), which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place. Also known as Lovejoy® couplings, these three-piece couplings have a spider-shaped cushion between two hubs to reduce shock and handle minor shaft misalignment.
A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider, or two hubs, one split spider, and one retaining ring (all components sold separately). Split spiders are easier to install and replace than standard spiders because there’s no need for tools or removing your hubs. Twist-lock them in place using a retaining ring.
Buna-N spiders provide good vibration damping and chemical resistance. Hytrel spiders provide fair vibration damping and excellent chemical resistance. Polyurethane spiders and split spiders provide fair vibration damping and good chemical resistance.

High-Torque Set Screw Flexible Shaft Couplings


The thick split spider on these couplings takes on twice as much torque as standard split spiders, while a set screw holds the hubs in place on your shaft. Also known as jaw couplings, use them to connect motors to pumps, mixers, and other high-torque equipment. You don’t need to lubricate them.
For a complete coupling, you’ll need two hubs, one split spider, and a split spider cover (all sold separately).
Hubs attach to the end of your shaft.
Split spiders cushion between the two hubs to dampen vibration, reduce shocks, and handle shaft misalignment, extending the life of bearings, seals, and motors. You can replace them without having to remove the hubs or move your shaft and equipment around, which reduces the risk of needing to realign the shaft. Spiders with medium-soft hardness are the most commonly used and are good for applications that start, stop, and reverse often. Those with medium hardness handle higher torque than those with medium-soft hardness, but they don’t reduce vibration as well.
Split spider covers hold the spider in place.

High-Speed Vibration-Damping Flexible Shaft Couplings


Use these gear-shaped couplings for high-speed and high-torque applications. A rubber center allows flexing so couplings can take on multiple types of misalignment while damping vibration and shock. With no metal-to-metal contact, there’s no need for lubrication. Fasten to your shafts by tightening the set screws, which bite into the shaft to hold it.
A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one center (each component sold separately).
Hubs have a keyway, except hubs for 1/4" and 3/8" shaft dia. do not have a keyway.
