Elastomeric couplings | ||
Thermoplastic elastomer couplings are a form of flexible coupling that uses an insert made of an elastomeric polymer to help transmit torque. The design of elastomeric couplings means that the elastic material is meant to wear out before any metal components. This not only saves time and money on maintenance but also means that the couplings do not require any form of lubrication. | ||
How the Thermoplastic elastomer couplings are made ? Thermoplastic elastomer couplings are general purpose and consist of an elastomeric element, commonly referred to as a spider, sandwiched between two metal hubs with interlocking teeth. | ||
Material used Generally , for the thermoplastic elastomer couplings is used the copolyester TPC-ET , thanks his high work temperature , excellent chemical resistance( gasoline, fuel , oils and greases ) high abrasion resistance and very low histeresys , and high rebound effect. | ||
