Flexible Diaphragm Coupling Working Principle

Rokee is a Diaphragm Coupling Manufacturer from China, design & custom-made diaphragm coupling with reasonable price and high-end quality, learn more about flexible diaphragm coupling working principle information, please email us, Rokee's technical engineer will reply as soon as possible.

Diaphragm Coupling is a kind of high-performance metal Flexible Coupling, which compensates axial and angular displacements by the deformation of elastic diaphragm while transferring torque. It features with compact structure, large transmission torque, long service life, maintenance-free, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and corrosion resistance, suitable for shafting transmission in high temperature, high speed and corrosive environment.

Rokee's RL series Steel Laminae Couplings are independently developed on the basis of high-quality products from Europe and Japan. It has smaller volume, larger torque of the same type, more reasonable proportioning size, large compensation range, light weight and small moment of inertia. Special elastic gasket design is adopted in the hole connection part of bolt and diaphragm group, which greatly reduces the stress concentration in the hole edge part, eliminates the tear loss of diaphragm, and extends the service life. With modular design, the coupling assembly is simple and its maintenance and replacement are quick. The performance far exceeds the national standard JM series products, which are widely used in fan systems, steam turbine units and other important industrial fields.

Flexible Couplings are one of the major types of couplings. They find use to connect two shafts, end-to-end in the same line to transmit power that is torque from one shaft to another, thereby causing both to rotate in unison, at the same rpm.

The purpose of a Elastic Coupling is to transmit torque from one piece of rotating equipment to another, while accepting at the same time a small amount of misalignment. Flexible coupling misalignment is expressed, as an order of magnitude, in thousandths of an inch. Actual misalignment, expressed in coupling terms, is angular in nature and expressed in angular units, that is, degrees. How much misalignment is a function of the coupling type and installation. An installation variable is the equipment movement due to the temperature changes taking place in the machines as they go from the non-operating state to operation. Some angular values will be used in the discussion of the various types, but, again, these are for reference only. Each application must be reviewed using the type of coupling selected and the specific design proposed by the vendor.
