Flexible shaft coupling BC series

sleeve and shear pin

Advantages: Protects shaft-support bearings by exerting consistently low reactive forces, even under large misalignments Homokinetic transmission – driving and driven shafts rotate at exactly the same speed at all times Zero backlash and high torsional stiffness Electrical insulation Accommodates moderate radial misalignment in a short length Accommodates relatively large axial misalignment Easy installation in blind or difficult installations – all block couplings have through bores Inexpensive replaceable wear element Internal grease reservoir provides continuous flow of lubrication driven by centrifugal force, allowing coupling to survive harsh, dirty environments Somewhat “failsafe”, in the sense that the driving hub will continue to turn the driven hub after failure of the midsection Disavantages: Accommodates a relatively small angular misalignment No mechanical “fuse” feature – unlike standard Oldham designs, under overload, all subcomponents of this coupling must be replaced, rather than one inexpensive wear element Typical Applications: Submersible pumps, agricultural and garden equipment
