About Set Screw Coupling
This
set screw coupling is mostly used in nautical applications, the pharmaceutical industry, and food processing, all of which often wash down their components. This coupling is the most economical choice compared to other stiff coupling types. It is intended to facilitate torque transmission and alignment. This set screw coupling with a keyway for keyed shafts is available from us for increased torque capability. This coupling's bores were meticulously constructed to guarantee that they are collinear.
High Durability and Corrosion ResistanceCrafted from premium-grade steel and finished with a galvanization process, our set screw couplings offer exceptional durability in demanding environments. Their corrosion resistance makes them particularly suitable for industrial settings where exposure to moisture or chemicals is common.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsOur cylindrical steel set screw couplings are adaptable across a wide range of industrial machines. Engineered to fit various shaft sizes and meet standard regulations, these couplings facilitate both new installations and quick replacements in existing setups.
FAQs of Set Screw Coupling:
Q: How is a galvanized steel set screw coupling installed?
A: To install a galvanized steel set screw coupling, align the coupling with the shafts to be connected, slide it over the shaft ends, and tighten the set screws evenly with an Allen key until the connection is firm. Ensure proper alignment for optimal performance.
Q: What industrial uses are ideal for set screw couplings?
A: Set screw couplings are widely used in industrial machines, conveyors, pumps, and automation systems where two shafts need to be connected securely. Their design is suitable for both light and heavy machinery requiring robust and reliable shaft joining.
Q: When should I choose a galvanized set screw coupling over a regular one?
A: A galvanized set screw coupling is preferred when equipment operates in environments prone to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor exposure. The galvanized coating significantly enhances resistance to corrosion compared to non-coated couplings.
Q: Where are your set screw couplings manufactured and exported from?
A: Our set screw couplings are manufactured in India, following strict industrial standards. We serve as an exporter, supplier, and wholesaler, shipping these products globally with a strong presence in the industrial sector.
Q: What is the benefit of using a cylindrical shape for these couplings?
A: The cylindrical shape provides uniform engagement and easy alignment with shafts, ensuring an even distribution of force across the joint. This enhances operational stability and reduces the risk of misalignment during use.
Q: How does the set screw mechanism secure the coupling?
A: The set screw inside the coupling presses directly against the shaft, providing a tight, slip-free hold. This mechanism is especially effective for applications where vibrations may occur, maintaining a secure connection throughout operation.
