The plum blossom coupling is mainly composed of two protruding teeth that are closely meshed and subjected to radial compression to transmit torque. When the two axes are relatively offset, the elastic element will undergo corresponding elastic deformation to automatically compensate; the plum blossom coupling It is mainly suitable for working occasions with frequent starting, forward and reverse rotation, medium and high speed, medium torque and high requirements.
Plum coupling elastomers are generally composed of engineering plastics or rubber.The life of the coupling is also the life of the elastic.Since elasticity is under compression, it is obviously under tension.The life of the general elastic body is 10 years. Because the elasticity has the function of buffering and damping, it is used more in the occasion of strong vibration.
There are two main types of plum blossom couplings, one is a curved (concave) claw type zero-backlash coupling, and the other is a traditional straight claw type.
The plum blossom elastic spacer has multiple leaf branches. Like a slider coupling, it also squeezes the plum blossom elastic spacer and the sleeves on both sides, thereby achieving its zero clearance performance.Different from the slider coupling, the plum blossom coupling is driven by squeezing while the slider coupling is driven by shear.
5 characteristics of plum coupling:
1. The plum blossom coupling has large axial, radial and angular compensation capabilities.
2. Stable work, with good vibration damping, buffering and electrical insulation properties.
3. Polyurethane elastic elements are resistant to oil, have large carrying capacity, and have long service life.
4. The plum blossom coupling does not need lubrication, the maintenance workload is small, and it can run continuously for a long time.
5. The plum blossom coupling has simple structure, small radial dimension, light weight and small moment of inertia, suitable for medium and high speed occasions.
