Serpentine Spring Couplings, mainly used in crushers, crank reciprocating motion, reducers, metallurgy, mining, lifting machinery, etc.
The main structure of a serpentine spring coupling is composed of two half couplings, two half casings, two sealing rings, and serpentine spring plates. It relies on the insertion of snake springs into the grooves of the two halves of the coupling to transmit torque. The coupling uses snake shaped spring plates embedded in the grooves of the two halves of the coupling to achieve the connection between the driving shaft and the driven shaft. During operation, the driven end is driven by the axial force of the active end teeth on the snake spring to transmit torque, which greatly avoids resonance phenomenon. Moreover, the elastic variables generated by the spring during torque transmission enable the mechanical system to achieve good vibration reduction effect, with an average vibration reduction rate of over 36%.
serpentine spring couplings’ advantages are including:
1. Good vibration-damping and long service life.
2. Withstanding a wide range of variable loads, ensuring safe starting.
3. High transmission efficiency and reliable operation.
4. Low noise, good lubrication.
5. Simple structure, easy to assemble and disassemble.
6. The whole machine has fewer parts, smaller volume, and lighter weight.
7. Allow for significant installation deviations
