Rigid couplings from HA-CO
You should know these advantages
Whether you're a tech geek or a total layman in the field, it doesn't hurt to thoroughly research the many options before buying clutches. What can the clutch in question actually do? What are its distinguishing features? As always, our recommendation for the most suitable clutch model depends on the type of application desired.
In this article we will focus on rigid couplings, often called shell couplings. We provide information about how they work, what advantages they have and in which industries they are often used.
What is the purpose of rigid couplings?
The rigid coupling is a simple product that connects two shafts. It is mainly used when there is no misalignment or misalignment of the shafts to be connected. It is important to note that it does not compensate for misalignments.
Which models are offered?
- One-piece slotted:
- Maximum torque up to 5000Nm, speed up to 8000rpm
- Inner Ø up to 80mm
- Available in three variants: KTS (half-shell clamping steel),
KTE (half shell clamping stainless steel) and
KTA (half-shell clamping aluminum) - Divided in two parts:
- Offers the same functions as the one-piece model, convinces
but with a simplified assembly
- Also available as KTS (half-shell clamping steel),
KTE (half shell clamping stainless steel) and
KTA (half-shell clamping aluminum) available
Basic features & benefits (one/two-piece rigid couplings)
- Shaft to shaft connection
- simple application
- Offset compensation is not given
- extremely inexpensive type of coupling (available from € 9.40)
- torsionally rigid
- free of play
- wear and maintenance free
- Available from stock
- Customized adaptations on request
Where are rigid couplings commonly found?
Rigid couplings make sense in drives that are either very precisely aligned or have no bearings. An example is the interlinking of shafts in a conveyor belt system. They also play an important role in laboratory technology for inspection or analysis equipment.
