Disc Coupling Overview

Industrial SU Variety
The SU Type coupling has a single flex plane with two hubs as well as a single disc pack. It’s suitable for angular and axial misalignment only. Two SU couplings are often mixed having a shaft
to generate a floating shaft coupling. The shaft is often hollow for lengthy light weight floating shaft couplings.
Industrial SX Variety
This can be the regular coupling sort that involves two hubs, a stock length spacer developed to meet business standard lengths, and two unitized disc packs. The coupling has two flex planes, one at every single disc pack, making it possible for this coupling to accommodate parallel, angular, and axial misalignment with specified limits. The coupling is available in six and eight bolt patterns and bore sizes as much as 13 inches (330mm) within the biggest size. Custom spacer lengths may be produced to meet particular shaft separations demanded for distinct applications. The SX coupling is often fitted with overload bushings to safeguard the disc packs in in excess of torque conditions and may act as an anti-flail device. SX couplings are assembled with the time of set up on the gear where the coupling might be in support.
Industrial DI Variety
The DI Form coupling has a “Drop-In” spacer assembly that’s assembled at the factory. The coupling includes two hubs plus a spacer assembly comprising on the spacer, two unitized disc packs, and two guard rings. The disc packs are bolted for the spacer and guard rings on the factory making use of the torque values suggested by Lovejoy for your disc pack bolts. Together with the hubs mounted within the shafts, the entire disc pack assembly could be “Dropped In” spot amongst the two hubs. The hubs are piloted to guarantee appropriate centering of the spacer assembly. This piloting serves as an anti-flail attribute and aids from the coupling’s capacity to meet the stability specifications mandated by API. This design coupling is intended to meet the stability and anti-flail demands specified in API-610.
Oversized, or Jumbo, hubs can be found for use using the DI Type coupling to permit for larger bore sizes on most DI coupling sizes. This allows to the use of smaller sized DI couplings in applications exactly where a smaller dimension coupling can nevertheless accommodate the application torque.
Industrial SXC Variety
The SXC Sort is definitely the shut coupled variation from the SX Variety coupling. The SXC is similar to the SX coupling in that the disc packs are attached when the coupling is set up. From the close coupled units, the hubs are turned inward and are mounted inside the spacer. Note that with all the hubs inside the spacer, the utmost bore allowed while in the hub will be decreased. The SXC couplings could be utilized with one or the two hubs turned outward to permit the coupling to accommodate distinctive shaft separations.
Industrial SXCS and SXCST Styles
The SXCS and SXCST Styles have split spacers plus the disc packs might be serviced or eliminated with out moving the hubs about the shafts and without having moving the products. The SXCS Style has the bolts that connect the hubs to your split spacer put in in the ends on the couplings. The SXCST have the bolts installed from within the spacer pointing outward in direction of the hubs.
