What are the coupling types?

Couplings are determined according to the needs of the system to be used. There are many types of couplings. Some of the frequently preferred couplings in industrial applications are; full flex gear coupling, rigid coupling, elastic coupling, spring coupling, leaf spring coupling. In addition, types such as bellows coupling, chain coupling, hydraulic coupling, magnetic coupling, disc coupling, spindle and torque limiter coupling are used in many areas. Let’s continue with the answer to the question of where couplings are used. They are used wherever power transmission is to be made. Driving and lifting equipment or pump systems are some of the places where the coupling is used.

Importance of coupling adjustment in pumps

Couplings are equipment that require very precise adjustment due to their duty. Coupling adjustment is key to proper system and process operation. The axis direction of the two shafts is a very important detail in coupling adjustment. The smoother and better the alignment, the more efficient the operation of the system will be. Several methods come to the fore when adjusting the coupling. One of these methods is to adjust the coupling on the coupling surface with a ruler, bristle miter and similar tools. In addition, fine adjustment can be made with the help of a comparator. Laser coupling adjustment devices also contribute to this precise adjustment.
