Sliding Block Couplings Function Transmit torque between two shafts while allowing limited axial, angular, and radial movement to compensate misalignment. Benefits Reduces bearing and motor stress from misalignment, extending component life. Smooth torque transfer with low backlash for consistent performance. Compact design suitable for tight installation spaces. Durable construction designed for reliable service in demanding environments. Easy integration with standard mounting patterns and common shaft sizes. Key attributes Function Transmit torque between connected shafts while accommodating small movements that occur during operation. Compatibility Designed to fit standard shaft bores and mounting practices. Available with common hub configurations, including clamp and setscrew styles, to suit a range of applications. Size Offered in multiple bore sizes and overall dimensions to match system requirements. Material Constructed from strength materials chosen for wear resistance and long service life. Performance Delivers dependable torque transmission with predictable behavior under normal loading. Engineered for repeated startstop cycles and moderate shock loading typical in machine drives. Applications and scenarios Conveyor systems where frame flex or thermal expansion causes shaft misalignment, requiring a forgiving connection to reduce wear. CNC machine tools or spindles where motor and tooling drive shafts experience small angular or axial shifts, enabling precise torque transfer without forcing alignment. Pumps or compact gearboxes with limited installation space, where a robust, spacesaving coupling maintains reliable drive despite minor shaft movement. Installation and maintenance notes Install using the appropriate hub type and mounting bolts, ensuring secure fastening and proper alignment per model guidelines. Regularly inspect for signs of wear on the sliding blocks and hubs; components as needed to maintain performance and prevent unexpected downtime. Follow modelspecific recommendations for bore size selection, mounting pattern, and torque handling to ensure operation.
