SURE-FLEX
CAPABILITIES
4-WAY FLEXING ACTION
absorbs all types of
shock, vibration and misalignment
TORSIONAL
Sure-Flex coupling sleeves have an exceptional ability to
absorb torsional shock and dampen torsional vibrations.
The EPDM and Neoprene sleeves wind-up approximately 15 torsionally at their rated torque. Hytrel
sleeves will wind-up about 7.

ANGULAR
The unique design of the Sure-Flex couplings teeth
allows for the absorption of angular misalignment
without wear. Refer to page F118 for actual allowable
misalignment limits. These limits allow for the alignment
of the coupling using only a scale and calipers.

PARALLEL
Parallel misalignment is absorbed without wear or
appreciable energy losses. The lateral flexibility of the
coupling sleeve minimizes radial bearing loads normally
associated with parallel misalignment. This feature also
allows for easier installation by the use of components
bored for slip fits without fretting corrosion occurring at
the shaft. Refer to page F118 for parallel misalignment
limits. Only a straight-edge and feeler gage are required
to obtain these limits.

AXIAL
Sure-Flex couplings may be used in applications with
limited axial shaft movements. The axial compressibility
of the EPDM and Neoprene sleeves allows for shaft endfloat without the absolute transfer of thrust loads.

SURE-FLEX FEATURES

EASY, QUICK
INSTALLATION

NO LUBRICATION,
TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION

Sure-Flex can be installed quickly and easily,


because there are no bolts, gaskets, covers
or seals. Alignment can be checked with a
straightedge placed across the outside of
the precision-machined flanges. No special
tools are needed for installation, alignment or
removal.

The teeth of the sleeve lock into the teeth of


the flanges without clamps or screws,
tightening under torque to provide smooth
transmission of power. There is no rubbing
action of metal against rubber to cause wear.
Couplings are not affected by abrasives, dirt,
or moisture. This eliminates the need for
lubrication or maintenance, provides clean,
dependable, quiet performance.

Sure-Flex couplings are selected as component parts.

H-HS-U
H (Hytrel) and U (Urethane) sleeves,
designed for high-torque applications,
transmit four times as much power as an
equivalent EPDM or Neoprene sleeve.
Available in one-piece solid construction
(H or U) or two-piece split construction
(HS), these can be used only with S, C
and SC flanges. They cannot be used
with J or B flanges or as direct
replacements for EPDM or Neoprene
sleeves.

*On applications involving varying torque loads, design around the maximum load. Then determine the
resulting service factor at minimum load. If this value is greater than 4.0, special coupling alignment will be
required (see page F118).
Caution: Applications involving reciprocating engines and reciprocating driven devices are
subject to rotational vibrational critical speeds which may destroy the coupling. The factory can
determine these speeds when the rotational inertia (WR2) of the driveR and driveN units is
known.

3. If coupling to the shaft of a 60 HZ AC motor, you may refer to page 8, locate
the correct chart & columns for your sleeve material, motor speed and
service factor; you can read the coupling size across from the motor
horsepower.
Example: For 150 HP @ 1750 RPM and 1.5 Service Factor - Use #13 EPDM or
Neoprene or #10 Hytrel or Urethane.
4. For other speeds, use the following formula to calculate the required coupling
horsepower rating @ 100 rpm.
HP @ 100 rpm = HP x Service Factor x 100 / coupling RPM
5. Use the chart below to find a coupling with a HP @ 100 RPM rating which is
greater than calculated above.
Example: For 5 HP @ 55 RPM and 1.25 Service Factor:
HP @ 100 = 5 x 1.25 x 100 / 55 = 11.36
Use #12 EPDM or Neoprene or #9 Hytrel with rating of 11.4 HP.

TYPE J SURE-FLEX
BTS FOR CLOSE COUPLED
APPLICATIONS
FLANGES
Type

J flanges sizes 3.4 and 5 are


manufactured of sintered carbon steel.
The powdered metal manufacturing
process provides high dimensional
accuracy and uniform material
properties for high strength. Size 6 is
made of high strength cast iron. All
flanges are bored-to-size for a slip fit
on standard shafts. The outside
diameter of the flange is machined so
the surface can be used to check
alignment without a special tool. Type
J flanges can be used with sleeves of
any construction except the Hytrel.
Each flange has a keyseat and one (1)
setscrew over the keyway. All have a
setscrew at 90 from the keyway.

COUPLINGS
Type J Sure-Flex Couplings are
bored-to-size. Normally, they employ
the one-piece JE sleeve, or the onepiece JES sleeve with saw cut to
permit replacement where there is
insufficient gap between shafts.
Spacing between internal flange hubs
equals G. Spacing between shafts
should be greater than 1/8 in. and
less than L minus .85 times the sum
of the two bore diameters.
To order complete couplings, specify
coupling size with flange symbol (J)
giving bore and keyseat. Refer to
page F13 to order the required
coupling.

FLANGES
Type S flanges are made of highstrength cast iron (except size 5 is
sintered carbon steel) and are
bored-to-size for slip fit on
standard shafts. They are easy to
install and remove, and are
available from stock in a wide range
of bore sizes. Type S couplings may
be used with any of the sleeves
shown on page F15.

BTS FOR CLOSE COUPLED
APPLICATIONS

COUPLINGS
Type S Sure-Flex couplings are
normally supplied with the twopiece E sleeve. However, any of the
sleeves shown on page F15 can
be used with Type S flanges.
Spacing between internal flange
hubs equals L minus 2 times C.
Spacing between shafts should be
greater than 1/8 in. and less than L
minus .85 times the sum of the two
bore diameters.
To order complete couplings,
specify coupling size with flange
symbol (S) giving bore and keyseat.
Refer to page F13 to order the
required coupling.

TYPE B BUSHED-FLEX
QD FOR CLOSE COUPLED
APPLICATIONS
FLANGES
Type B flanges are made of highstrength cast iron the same as Types
S, C and SC Sure-Flex flanges. Type
B, however, is designed to
accommodate Woods Sure-Grip
Bushing for easy installation and
removal.

BUSHINGS
Sure-Grip Bushings offer convenient
mounting of the flange to the shaft
securely without setscrews. They
are tapered and are split through
both the bushing flange and taper to
provide a clamp fit, eliminating
wobble, vibration and fretting
corrosion. This is the same bushing
used in Woods sheaves and pulleys
and is readily available everywhere.

SURE-FLEX
COUPLINGS
Installation Instructions
Sure-Flex flanges (outer metallic parts) and sleeves (inner
elastomeric members) come in many sizes and types. First,
determine the size and type of components being used.
Remove all components from their boxes, and loosely
assemble the coupling on any convenient surface. (Do not
attempt to install the wire ring on the two-piece E or N sleeve
at this time.) Also check maximum RPM values in the table
against operating speed. All rubber sleeves (EPDM and
Neoprene) have the same ratings for a given size and may be
used interchangeably. However, because rubber and Hytrel
sleeves have completely different ratings, they never should be
used interchangeably.
Inspect all coupling components and remove any protective
coatings or lubricants from bores, mating surfaces and
fasteners. Remove any existing burrs, etc. from the shafts.
Slide one coupling flange onto each shaft, using snugfitting keys where required. When using Type B flanges,
follow the instructions furnished with the Sure-Grip bushing.
Position the flanges on the shafts to approximately achieve
the Y dimension shown in the table. It is usually best to
have an equal length of shaft extending into each flange. Move
one flange to its final position. Torque fasteners to proper
values. Slide the other flange far enough away to install the
sleeve. With a two-piece sleeve, do not move the wire ring to its
final position; allow it to hang loosely in the groove adjacent to
the teeth.

Check angular alignment with a micrometer or caliper.


Measure from the outside of one flange to the outside of
the other at intervals around the periphery of the coupling.
Determine the maximum and minimum dimensions without
rotating the coupling. The difference between the maximum
and minimum must not exceed the figure given under Angular
in the table. If a correction is necessary, be sure to recheck the
parallel alignment.

Slide the loose flange on the shaft until the sleeve is


completely seated in the teeth of each flange. (The Y
dimension is for reference and not critical.) Secure the flange
to the shaft. Different coupling sleeves require different degrees
of alignment precision. Locate the alignment values for your
sleeve size and type in the table.
Check parallel alignment by placing a straight-edge across
the two coupling flanges and measuring the maximum
offset at various points around the periphery of the coupling
without rotating the coupling. If the maximum offset exceeds
the figure shown under Parallel in the table, realign the shafts.

Note: Values shown above apply if the actual torque


transmitted is more than 1/4 the coupling rating. For
lesser torque, reduce the above values by 1/2.
*Type H and HS sleeves should not be used as direct
replacements for EPDM or Neoprene sleeves.

If the coupling employs the two-piece sleeve with the wire


ring, force the ring into its groove in the center of the sleeve.
It may be necessary to pry the ring into position with a blunt
screwdriver.

Install coupling guards per OSHA requirements.

CAUTION: Coupling sleeves may be thrown from the coupling


assembly with substantial force when the coupling is
subjected to a severe shock load or abuse.

Note: The above applications depict the generally accepted conditions encountered in industr y. Conditions subject to extreme
temperatures, abrasive dusts, corrosive liquids, excessively high starting torques, etc., must be considered as extra heavy
shock loads. These conditions will increase service factors. Consult TB Wood s for these selections.

C. Calculate Design Horsepower or Design Torque


If Prime Mover is a 1160, 1750, or 3500 rpm motor.
Design Hp = Prime Mover HP x Service Factor
Go to page F23 and reference the corresponding motor rpm column.
If Prime Mover is not one of the three speeds listed above.
Design HP @ 100 rpm = (Primer Mover Hp x Service Factor x 100) / Coupling RPM
Go to page F23 and reference HP @ 100 RPM column.
If Using Prime Mover Torque
Design Torque = Prime Mover Torque x Service Factor
Go to page F23 and reference Torque column.

D. Select Coupling (DURA-FLEX Couplings are sold by component )


A DURA-FLEX Assembly consists of one element (STD or Spacer) and two hubs (BTS or QD). Optional high speed rings may also
be ordered for spacer elements. Below is an ordering example for Dura-Flex Couplings.

B. Determine the Load Characteristics and the Service Factor


Typical Applications
Agitators (pure liquids), Blowers (centrifugal, Can and Bottle
Filling Machines, Conveyors - uniformly loaded or fed (belt,
chain, screw), Fans (centrifugal), Generators (uniform load),
Pumps (centrifugal), Screens (air washing, water), Stokers
(uniform load), Woodworking Machines (planers, routers, saws)

Load
Uniform

Characteristics
Even loads - no shock - non
reversing - infrequent starts (up
to 10 per hour) - low starting
torques

Beaters, Blowers (lobe, vane), Compressors (centrifugal, rotary), Moderate Uneven loads - moderate shock
Conveyors - non uniformly loaded or fed (belt, bucket, chain,
shock Infrequent reversing-moderate
screw), Dredge Pumps, Fans (forced draft, propeller), Kilns,
torques
Paper Mills (calendars, converting machines, conveyors, dryers,
mixers, winders), Printing Presses, Pumps (gear, rotary),
Shredders, Textile Machinery (dryers, dyers)
Cranes (bridge, hoist, trolley), Fans (cooling tower), Generators
(welding), Hammer Mills, Mills (ball, pebble, rolling, tube,
tumbling), Pumps (oil well), Wire Drawing Machines

Note: The above applications depict the generally accepted conditions encountered in industr y. Conditions subject to extreme
temperatures, abrasive dusts, corrosive liquids, excessively high starting torques, etc., must be considered as extra heavy
shock loads. These conditions will increase service factors. Consult TB Wood s for these selections.

C. Calculate Design Horsepower or Design Torque


If Prime Mover is a 970, 1450, or 3000 rpm motor.
Design KW = Prime Mover KW x Service Factor
Go to page F29 and reference the corresponding motor rpm column.
If Prime Mover is not one of the three speeds listed above.
Design KW @ 100 rpm = (Primer Mover KW x Service Factor x 100) / Coupling RPM
Go to page F29 and reference KW @ 100 RPM column.
If Using Prime Mover Torque
Design Torque = Prime Mover Torque x Service Factor
Go to page F29 and reference Torque column.

Design Hp = Prime Mover HP x Service Factor
Go to page F33 and reference the corresponding motor rpm column.
If Prime Mover is not one of the three speeds listed above.
Design Hp @ 100 rpm = (Primer Mover Hp x Service Factor x 100) / Coupling RPM
Go to page F33 and reference HP @ 100 RPM column.
If Using Prime Mover Torque
Design Torque = Prime Mover Torque x Service Factor
Go to page F33 and reference Torque column.

G-FLEX GRID COUPLINGS

Principal of Operation
Positive protection against the damaging effects of shock loads, impact loads and vibration.
The grid is torsionally flexible. The circumferential flexibility is progressive due to the curved
profile of the grooves state-of-the-art in resilient coupling design.

Accommodating Shaft Misalignment and End-Float


The grid will accommodate combinations of misalignments present at set-up or occurring during machine displacement,
settlement, etc.

Effectiveness of Torsional Damping


As the grid coupling transmits torque, the flexing of the tapered grid
spring damps vibrations and cushions shock loads.
This unique characteristic is due to the torsional flexibility of the coupling
being proportionate to the unsupported length of each flexible grid rung.
The resultant reduction in peak loading protects and extends the life of
the transmission equipment.
Versatile Design
Both 1000T10 and 1000T20 couplings feature identical hubs and grid springs, the different cover styles provide great
versatility one is horizontally split T10, the other is vertically split T20.
All coupling components are designed to be interchangeable with other taper grid couplings. The stock coupling can be
used vertically or horizontally without modification.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
The grid springs are easily installed by hand or with a soft mallet. The cover fasteners can be tightened with standard
wrenches. Every TB Woods coupling is delivered with detailed installation instructions. Periodic Lubrication of the
coupling is required and each cover half is supplied with standard plugs which can be easily removed for re-lubrication.
Recommended Fits between Shafts and Hubs
Coupling bore tolerances for sizes up to and including 1090T can be specified to suit a clearance fit with the shaft. In
these instances the hub is provided with set screws. Relative positions are given in the following table.

TAPER GRID RESILIENT


COUPLINGS
Series 1000T10 and Series 1000T20

Dr. James Bibby originally invented the Resilient Coupling in 1917 and the 1000 Series is the latest level of this well
accepted product. This Bibby Transmissions product has become universally accepted where reliable protection
against shaft misalignment and vibration is desirable.
Since those early days refinements in design and material specifications have kept pace with advancing technology,
achieving significant improvements in power/weight ratios.
TB Woods is proud to offer this proven product.

1000T10
Horizontally Split Cover
General Purpose
Easy access to grid minimizes
downtime
Ideal for limited space applications
Stop lug in cover prevents spinning
during reversing service

1000T20
Vertically Split Cover
General purpose
Ideal for higher running speeds

High Performance
The TB Woods Taper Grid Coupling continues that tradition. The tapered grid is made from high tensile alloy steel
which is carefully formed to the grid shape before hardening and tempering under controlled conditions. The grid
surface is then shot-peened. This process leaves the grid spring with a residually stressed surface layer which is in
compression and which impedes the propagation of cracks. Since nearly all fatigue and stress corrosion failures
originate at the surface of a part, the layer of compressive stress induced by shot-peening produces a dramatic
increase in the working life and fatigue strength of the grid. This technological improvement in manufacturing process
coupled with precise monitoring of raw material specification and control of trapezoidal shape, permits TB Woods to
offer state of the art grid springs of high performance and reliability.
Scientific Design
The hub is precision manufactured from high quality materials, with the hub tooth profile scientifically designed to
permit progressive loading under torsional shock conditions. The combination of tapered grid and precision
manufactured hub provides easy assembly. The excellent shock absorption characteristics, and the ability to
accommodate misalignment protects the connected equipment.
Long Life
While the coupling is designed for long life under tough conditions, maintenance and taper grid replacement can be
performed quickly and easily without the need to move and realign connected equipment. Two cover design options
are available in the TB Woods range of couplings. Both designs have been carefully engineered to provide a shaft
coupling which is highly reliable and easy to install.

Refer to TB Woods

For drives where the operation is near or


actually passes through a major torsional
natural frequency, a mass elastic analysis of
the system is advised. When the Service
Factor in Table 1 is greater than 2.0, consult
your supplier or TB Woods.

Rating To determine the torque rating, calculate using the procedures given on page F4-6. Information may also be
found on the nameplate of the motor, etc.
Service Factor When selecting a coupling it is important to consider the characteristics of the drive and driven
equipment. A gure known as the Service Factor has been calculated based on an average of a wide range of
applications. This can be used as a guide in the selection process and is displayed in Table 1 on page F4-8.
Size In making the decision from the following product groups which is most suited to the application, select a size
equal to or higher than the rating calculated. Particular attention should be made to bore sizes, and guidance for this
is in the Table related to Max Bore Sizes.
Speed Ensure that the speed is compatible.
Should full information not be supplied to TB Woods at the time of ordering, it will be the responsibility of the customer to ensure
that the coupling has been correctly selected.
As our policy is one of continual improvement, this specification is not to be regarded as binding in any way, and is subject to
alteration without notice. Certified drawings are available on request.

FORM-FLEX METAL
DISC FLEXIBLE
COUPLINGS
Form-Flex couplings transmit torque while compensating for angular, parallel and axial misalignment between
two connected shafts. Flexible disc couplings minimize the misalignment forces on the connected equipment.
The Basic flex coupling consists of two hubs, a spacer and two flexible discs. The flex disc is an assembly of
thin metal laminations. In figure shown below, flex disc holes A & C are bolted to the hub and holes B & D are
bolted to the spacer. Torque is transmitted in direct tensions from A to B and from C to D through the flex disc.
Misalignment is taken through bending in the link between the bolt holes.

COOLING TOWER DRIVES

VERTICAL PUMP DRIVES

Form-Flex metal disc couplings are widely used in


cooling fan drive applications. Form-Flex 4 bolt disc
couplings offer more misalignment capacity than any
competing metal disc design.

For smaller towers up to about 100 inches DBSE, TB


Woods offers steel and composite spacer tubing
options. TrueTube composite torque tubes are lighter
than steel and eliminate thermal growth and
vibration
problems.

Form-Flex composite floating shaft couplings are


recommended as a replacement for older
multi-section drivelines. Composite couplings can
span up to 240 inches without high maintenance
center support bearings.

F5-2

TB Woods 888-TBWOODS

Form-Flex floating shaft couplings are a costeffective, maintenance free alternative to cardan
U-joints for vertical pump drivelines. Form-Flex
couplings are available with either steel or composite
spacer tubing. Composite spacer tubing can reduce
total cost by eliminating the need for bearings and
support structures.

Single flexing couplings compensate for


angular and axial misalignment only. Single
couplings should only be used in a three
bearing system with a self-aligning bearing
as shown in the illustration.
Single couplings may also be used in pairs to
support a clutch, transducer or other system
component. These arrangements are double
flexing and must be used with two fully
supported shafts as described below.

Spacer couplings are used to connect fully


supported shafts with wider separations than
can be reached with a close couple design.
Spacer couplings allow room for installation
and maintenance without moving the
connected equipment. Shaft separations
are generally in the range of 3 to 12 inches.
These couplings accommodate angular,
parallel and axial misalignment.

Semi-floating shaft couplings are a special


single flex version of the floating shaft
coupling. These may be used alone for
some applications or in combination with
floating shaft couplings and pillow block
bearings to span long distances.
Composite floating shaft couplings should
be considered as an alternative to multiple
span applications with center bearings.

SELECTING AND ORDERING


FORM-FLEX COUPLINGS
1) Select correct service factor from the chart below.
2) Calculate HP @ 100 or Design Torque (in lbs).
HP @ 100 = HP x service factor x 100
coupling RPM
OR
Design Torque (in lbs) = 63025 x HP x service factor
coupling RPM
OR
Design Torque = Torque (in lbs) x Service Factor
3) Compare this to the HP @100 column or the Rated Torque column.
4) Check other limiting factors such as bores and overall dimensions.
5) Standard Four or Six bolt couplings can be ordered as hubs and a center assembly.
All other couplings should be ordered by description.

DYNAMIC BALANCING RECOMMENDATIONS
Use this graph to determine the appropriate balance class based on
coupling weight and operating speed. The balance classes listed on
the graph are for equipment with average sensitivity to coupling
unbalance. The user should determine how sensitive the equipment
train is to coupling unbalance. Use one balance class higher if your
system has higher than average sensitivity to unbalance. Use one
balance class lower if your system has lower than average sensitivity to
unbalance. Use this guide to check your coupling selection against the
recommended balance class for your operating conditions.
The following factors should be considered when determining a machines
sensitivity to coupling unbalance.
1) Shaft End Deflection: Machines having flexible shaft extensions are
relatively sensitive to coupling unbalance.
2) Bearing Load Due to Coupling Weight Relative to Total Bearing Load:
Machines having lightly loaded bearings, bearings that are primarily
loaded by the weight of the coupling or other overhung weight are
relatively sensitive to coupling unbalance.
3) Bearing, Bearing Support and Foundation Flexibility: Machines
or systems with flexible foundations for supports for the rotating
elements are relatively sensitive to coupling unbalance.
4) System Natural Frequencies: Machines operating at or near natural
frequencies are sensitive to coupling unbalance.
5) Machine Separation: System having widely separated machines are
relatively sensitive to coupling unbalance.
6) Shaft Extension Relative to Bearing Span: Machines having a short
bearing span relative to their shaft extensions are sensitive to
static unbalance.
HOW FORM-FLEX COUPLINGS ACCOMMODATE MISALIGNMENT
Double flexing metal disc couplings may be used to accommodate angular,
parallel and axial misalignment. Single flexing couplings may only be used to
accommodate angular and axial misalignment. A metal disc type coupling uses
a double hinge effect through two flexible discs and the spacer to compensate
for parallel offset misalignment between shafts. Parallel misalignment
imposes the same angular deflection (A) on each flex disc. Angular
misalignment of either connected shaft, (B), creates additional angular
deflections which are added to the angular offset due to parallel misalignment.
The total misalignment angle, (C), at the flex disc is equal to the angular offset
due to parallel misalignment (A) plus the angular offset due to angular
misalignment (B). The maximum misalignment angle (C) should never exceed
the rated misalignment capacity of the coupling type being used. Machinery
equipment changes in actual operation and over the life of the equipment. We
recommend that the machinery misalignment be set as close to zero as
possible when a coupling is installed. We recommend keeping the measured
misalignment below 25% of the rated misalignment capacity of the
coupling type used when the machinery is installed and aligned. The remaining
coupling misalignment capacity will then be available to accommodate additional
misalignment caused by foundation shifts, vibrations, thermal growth or other causes.

SINGLE FLEX AR SERIES


4 BOLT SINGLE FLEXING
(FORMERLY AJ SERIES)
COUPLING
The AR series coupling accommodates angular and axial misalignment only. Single couplings may be used
in pairs to support a clutch, brake or other power transmission component in a floating shaft arrangement,
or to support a component that is supported by a self-aligning bearing. The AR coupling consists of two
hubs and one set of standard hardware, including stainless steel flex discs.

CLOSE COUPLE AA SERIES


4 BOLT CLOSE COUPLED
COUPLING
(GENERAL USE SHORTER BOLT REMOVAL)
The AA series close coupling is made up of two hubs, a cast iron block type spacer and two sets of
standard hardware. Stainless steel flex discs are standard. The AA accommodates close shaft separations
when it is installed with the shafts extending through the flex discs into the center of the coupling. The
shaft diameter must be less than the flex disc I.D. listed in the dimensional table. This coupling is
recommended when the bolt removal length (J) makes the AX coupling impractical.
Special machined steel block spacers are also available in several sizes.

CLOSE COUPLE BY SERIES


BOLT CLOSE COUPLED
COUPLING
The BY series close coupling is a low cost replacement for gear or elastomeric couplings. It is ideal for
use in low to moderate speed applications with motor or turbine drivers. The BY is an economical
alternative to Axial Split spacer designs. The BY accommodates close shaft spacings by allowing the
connected shafts to extend through the flex discs and spacer without restriction. The spacer is not
service removable if the shaft gap is less than the D1 dimension shown. For shorter shaft spacings, the
flex discs may still be replaced by removing the coupling bolts and shuttling the spacer from side to side.
Inverted (BY) and Extended (BH) hubs are available to allow varying shaft diameters and spacing.

SPACER COUPLINGS
Axial split spacer couplings are an ideal replacement for lubricated gear or grid couplings. Close shaft
separations are met without requirements for extending shafts through hubs. The split spacer removes
radially to allow removal of connected equipment. Flex discs may be replaced without disturbing the
connected equipment. The axial split series features all steel construction. Stainless steel flex discs are
standard for the BA series. Both stainless and high strength alloy steel flex disc options are available with
the DA series.

TRUE TUBE COMPOSITE


TORQUE TUBES

True-Tube composite tubes are high-strength, lightweight torque tubes for long span drive shafts. These
tubes are filament wound carbon or glass fiber construction in an oven cured epoxy matrix. True-Tube
composites offer the following advantages over steel tubing.

LONGER SPANS
TrueTube composite tubes have a higher stiffness to weight ratio than steel tubing. That
increases the critical speed of the tubing and allows longer spans without center bearings.

LIGHT WEIGHT
TrueTube drive shafts weigh up to 80% less than equivalent steel driveshafts. That
means better balance and reduced vibration. Bearing life may be improved by
minimizing overhung weight.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
TrueTube composite tubes may be custom designed to meet your requirements for
Torsional Stiffness, critical speed or torque capacity. With TrueTube, a designer can tune
torsional or lateral critical speeds out of a machine system.
All TrueTube products include an ultraviolet barrier that is wound into the structure of the tube before
it is cured. This UV barrier eliminates the need for paints or other protective coatings and results in a
smooth, durable finish that other composite tubes dont offer. TrueTube products are cured in an enclosed
oven to assure consistent strength and quality. Design data is shown below for standard series tubes.
Standard series tubes are designed for maximum length at moderate torques. High torque designs are
also available.

COOLING TOWER COUPLINGS

The traditional A5 design features all metal


construction. It can be ordered to meet any custom
spacer length. A wide variety of materials and
finishes is available.

Designed specifically as a connection for cooling


tower applications and other drives requiring long
shaft spans. Form-Flex couplings with TrueTube
composite tubing weigh less than half of its steel
counterpart and can span shaft separations of up to
240 inches. They are easy to handle, install and
maintain. TrueTube composites are extremely
corrosion resistant and are custom designed to
provide the optimum combination of torsional
strength and lateral stiffness for cooling tower drive
applications. TB Woods proprietary composite
flange design transmits torque reliably from the
metal outboard hubs to the composite flange and
into the TrueTube composite tube.

HD elastomeric couplings and TrueTube composites


are combined into a high misalignment, all
composite coupling. These couplings are easy to
install and align. Their high misalignment capacity
makes them ideal for smaller, wood framed and
fiberglass towers.

GEAR COUPLING SELECTION


Calculate Design Horsepower or Design Torque
If HP and RPM are Known, Calculate Design HP@100 RPM
Design HP@100 RPM=(Prime mover HP x Service Factor x 100) divided by the Coupling RPM
Refer to the HP@100 RPM rating for the coupling style desired. Select the coupling equal to or greater than the
calculated design HP@100 RPM. Check the maximum bore capabilities to be sure the size coupling you have
chosen is capable of your largest bore.
If Using Prime Mover Torque, Calculate Design Torque
Design Torque = Prime Mover Torque x Service Factor
Refer to torque rating in the coupling style desired. Select the coupling equal to or greater than the calculated
design torque. Check the maximum bore capabilities to be sure the size coupling you have chosen is capable of
your largest bore.
The above selection can be used for all series of industrial gear couplings, however, the Deck-Flex and
Deck-Flex Mite couplings have their own calculations.

RATINGS (4)
(1) H Dimension Clearance to
align coupling
(2) AGMA class 8 balance requires the
manufacturer of two special flexible
hubs
(3) When ordering please specify bore
diameter with tolerances for both
hubs, keyway sizes, set screws if
applicable, speed, horsepower, and
application details.
(4) Horsepower. Torque capacity and
parallel misalignment capacity for
sizes 1 through 5-1/2 are based on 11/2 degrees angular misalignment per
gear mesh and maximum bore. Sizes
6 through 9 are based on 3/4 degree
angular misalignment. Consult
engineering for greater HP capacity.
Many configurations of F Series
couplings are available to fit your
unique application. Consult Woods
mechanical application engineers(1)for
design.

Note 1. Horsepower,
Torque Capacity and
Parallel misalignment
capacity for sizes 1
through 5-1/2 are
based on 1-1/2
degrees angular
misalignment per gear
mesh and maximum
bore. Sizes 6 and 7 are
based on 3/4 degrees
angular misalignment.

Note 3. When ordering


a complete floating
shaft coupling specify
the distance between
shaft ends, bore
diameter with
tolerances for both
outboard hubs, keyway
sizes, set screws if
applicable, speed,
horsepower, and all
application details.
Note 4. Due to larger
bore capacity outboard
rigid hubs will be furnished unless otherwise
specified.

Blind assembly couplings can be produced by


ordering a 3 groove sleeve (GDFS3 or GDFMS3)
and installing a center retaining ring. With the
addition of this center retaining ring, the outer
rings are not needed and the installation involves
no more than sliding the hubs into the sleeves.

Rigid Couplings
Ribbed Type Compression Couplings are recommended for emergency and
regular service on heavily loaded shafts.
These couplings are bored true to shaft size, and the halves are separated during
boring operation to allow for clamping when halves are drawn together. Bolt heads
and nuts are protected by flanges. End flanges are faced square with bore, and
outer diameters are turned.
To facilitate the use of V-belt drives, sufficient space may be left between shaft
ends when mounting the coupling to permit easy replacement of belts.

RIGID COUPLINGS
This coupling is designed to provide a simple method of rigidly connecting two pieces of shafting. The
standard Sure-Grip tapered bushing is used, one on each shaft, to securely clamp the two shafts together.
The precision tapered fit lines up the two shafts. No press or shrink fits are necessary.
