Pin Bush Couplings

for drives of 1 hp upto

200 hp at 100 rpm

The purpose of fixing the flexible coupling is to transmit torque from one shaft to another, where
misalignments may occur and also to absorb shock loads, etc
Those machines which are going to be fitted with flexible couplings should first be well aligned. It is, only then
that the coupling will deal with misalignments occurring due to heavy shaft loading by belt, temperature
variations etc. Bearing wear or settling of machine foundations can also be a reason for causing extra
loading on the coupling. Any or all of these conditions can occur after the machines have been coupled The
Easyflex flexible coupling has been designed to transmit the torque through high tensile steel bolts and
flexible bearings, to the machine input shaft- Since it is of the cushioned drive type, it can absorb shock loads,
torsional vibrations and any misalignments*
Very simple in construction, the Easyflex Pin Bush coupling is so designed that it transmits high powers and
maximum speed. Though normally the flanges are of cast iron, but for higher speeds .flanges can be
provided in good quality steel. This type of coupling will permit drive on either direction, does not require any
lubrication nor adjustment after fitting. These flexible bearings remain unaffected either by dust, water or
atmospheric conditions. Two identical halves form the couplings. The Rayon reinforced rubber bearings
being driven into each half, while the holes for the connecting bolts, or pins, are alternately arranged
between them, If desired only one half of the coupling may be used to connect to suitable holes in a fly-wheel
or any existing flange adaptor, however, this will reduce by 50% the listed power of the complete coupling.
The following listed couplings are of standard size. The flanges are available in Pilot Bore Standard
Specifications unless otherwise specified - However, Finished Bore and sizes can be considered if the quantity
is reasonable.
Powers for the standard couplings range from 075 HP to 208 HP at 100 rpm and sizes from 3.75" to 20.5"
outside diameter.
