217-5450 55 mm Long Flexible Coupling Spring
Cat® springs for pump flexible couplings provide vibration isolation and misalignment compensation in mechanical pumps.
Description
The pump flexible coupling spring consists of tightly wound helical coils, typically made of high-strength material. The spring in a flexible coupling works by providing flexibility and torsional compliance in connecting two rotating shafts. When the shafts are misaligned or vibrating, the spring absorbs these forces, preventing damage to the machinery and improving its overall performance.
Attributes
- Dampens vibration and absorbs shock.
- Allows compensation for angular and axial misalignment.
- Improves power transmission efficiency.
- Resistant to wear and corrosion.
Applications
The spring is used in the pump flexible coupling of heavy machinery. It is used to transmit torque between two rotating shafts while allowing for misalignment and absorbing shock and vibration.
Compatible Equipment
- Excavators: 385C, 385C FS, 385B, 390D, 385C L, 390D L
