What Are Gear Couplings?
Gear couplings are mechanical devices used to transmit torque between two shafts that are not perfectly aligned. They consist of two hubs with external gear teeth and a sleeve or cover with internal teeth that mesh with the hub gears. This design accommodates misalignment and transmits high torque efficiently.
Gear couplings are often used when high torque and power are needed. They can handle more torque than Jaws, Pins, Bushes, and Tyres, which produce less vibration. A gear coupling consists of two hubs with teeth that fit together, connected by a sleeve.
Applications of Gear Couplings
Gear couplings are chosen for their ability to handle:
High torque loads
Angular, parallel, and axial misalignment
Shock loads and vibrations
📥 Requesting or Downloading Catalogs
Most manufacturers offer downloadable PDFs or online configurators for:
Model selection
Technical specs
Torque ratings
Dimensional drawings
You can also often request physical catalogs or CAD models directly from manufacturer websites.
