SWP_D universal couplingDue to manufacturing and installation errors, deformation after load, and the influence of temperature changes on the two connected shafts, the relative position of the two shafts will change, and the alignment cannot be strictly performed.
The universal coupling utilizes the characteristics of its mechanism to make the two shafts not on the same axis, and when there is an angle between the axes, it can realize the continuous rotation of the connected two shafts, and transmit torque and movement simultaneously.The big feature of universal coupling is: its structure has greater angular compensation capability, compact structure, and transmission.The angle between the two axes of universal joints of different structures is different, generally between 5°-45°.
A mechanical part used to connect two shafts (active shaft and driven shaft) in different mechanisms to make them rotate together to transmit torque.In high-speed and heavy-load power transmission, some couplings also have the function of buffering, damping and improving the dynamic performance of the shafting.The coupling is composed of two halves, which are respectively connected with the driving shaft and the driven shaft.The general power machine is mostly connected with the working machine by means of a coupling.
