Oldham Coupling Gives Generous Compensation

Date Added: 4th May 2012
The objective in any power train installation is to transmit power efficiently from the motor to the equipment (such as a pump). Under normal circumstances, one cannot do this without a coupling of some kind. In many cases, this coupling needs to accommodate axial or radial misalignment as well as shock loading, backlash (rotational free movement) or end float, where the motor of the machine shafts move longitudinally.
The extensive Huco Oldham Coupling range is particularly suitable for situations where axial misalignment can occur in operations such as foundation settlement. They can also accommodate a small measure of end float and radial alignment with their twin tongue and grooved discs set perpendicularly - these interlock with a central (replaceable) acetal or nylon plastic insert. The central insert also provides protection against any vibration being transmitted across it, as well as shock loadings and a small amount of backlash and end float.
Huco offer two main types of Oldham Couplings - the blind hub type that requires a shaft to be displaced to replace the Hub Insert and the Through Hub that has been developed to allow replacement of the central insert without displacing either shaft. These are supplied in a range of sizes and materials from 19mm diameter to 41mm diameter shaft sizes with corresponding peak torque transmission capacity from 1.7 Nm to 17 Nm and break torque of between 10Nm and 57 Nm.
The Blind Hub Oldham coupling is manufactured in two forms, the clamp fixing version and the set-screw version, to suit the particular dismantling and assembly requirements to replace the central plastic hub insert. All Huco Oldham couplings are available in brass, aluminium or stainless steel to suit your particular environment or application.
The Through Hub Oldham Coupling has been developed by Huco to enable the hub insert to be replaced without moving either shaft, as one of the shaft hubs comes in two pieces. The performance of both forms is very similar, but the convenience of leaving the motor and the equipment undisturbed cannot be understated.
