Instructions For Using Universal Shaft Couplings

Universal shaft couplings as key components in mechanical transmission systems, are widely used in various situations that require torque transmission and compensation for shaft system deviations.

Universal shaft coupling is a mechanical device that can transmit rotational motion and torque within a certain angle range. Its main feature is the ability to compensate for angular deviation, radial deviation, and axial displacement between two shafts.

The main types include: cross axis universal joint, ball cage universal joint, double joint universal joint, and telescopic universal joint.

Preparation work before installation

1. Check the coupling model: Confirm that the purchased coupling model fully matches the equipment requirements, including torque capacity, speed range, connection size, and other parameters.
   

2. Check the shaft end dimensions: Measure and confirm that the diameter and keyway dimensions of the drive shaft and driven shaft match the inner hole of the coupling.
   

3. Cleaning work: Thoroughly clean the shaft end, keyway, and coupling inner hole, remove oil stains, burrs, and rust.
   

4. Preparation tools: Prepare professional tools such as pullers, hydraulic tools, torque wrenches, dial gauges, etc. required for installation.

Safety operation standards

1. Maintenance can only be carried out after the equipment has completely stopped and the power source has been cut off;
   

2. It is strictly prohibited to touch or approach rotating couplings during operation;
   

3. Use specialized tools during disassembly to avoid violent impacts;
   

4. Abandoned couplings should be disposed of according to regulations to avoid environmental pollution.

Proper use and maintenance of universal shaft couplings can ensure stable operation of the transmission system, extend equipment lifespan, and improve production efficiency. For special working conditions or difficult problems, it is recommended to consult professional technicians or coupling manufacturers in a timely manner.
