Coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. In general Couplings are categorized into two types – Flexible Couplings and Rigid Couplings.
PT. Prima Tekindo Tirta Sejahtera provides various lines of quality couplings for a wide range of applications.
Type of Coupling
Research indicates that around 40% of rotating machinery failures are caused by misalignment, which is, of course, highly detrimental.
The main causes of misalignment are largely human factors, including:
- Lack of knowledge.
- Knowing what to do but not yet being able to do it.
- Knowing what to do and being able to do it, but being unwilling to make the effort.
LOSSES CAUSED BY MISALIGNMENT
- Couplings become hot and wear out quickly.
- Energy consumption (electricity, fuel, steam)
- of the drive increases by around 5 - 10%.
- Coupling bolts easily loosen / break.
- Foundation bolts loosen.
- High vibration in the radial and axial directions.
- Leakage at bearing seals and mechanical seals.
Why Choose TYRE COUPLING From PTTS
- Greater misalignment tolerance.
- Reduces noise.
- Reduces electric motor temperature at the shaft / axle.
- A reduction in electrical current / amperage.
- Tyre Flex Coupling is a highly elastic coupling that requires no lubrication for maintenance.
- Simple installation and inspection without disturbing the drive.
- Tyre Flex Coupling also offers excellent vibration absorption / damping.
