Couplings

Dinamica is a leader in the design and production of a wide range of couplings including torsional rigid couplings, flexible couplings, zero reaction couplings, toothed couplings, shaft couplings, bellows and disc couplings or designed by the customer.

Our products meet the needs of the most demanding power transmission applications with a comprehensive quality guarantee. Couplings certified according to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU are available upon request.

What are mechanical couplings?

When we talk about industrial machinery, we certainly need to know about its uses, applications, and the different solutions it provides. However, there are numerous elements that we are not so familiar with and that can make all the difference in our industrial processes. We are talking about the couplings mechanics , who are the items of the machinery intended to extend shaft transmission lines , to connect different sections of shafts , either in different planes or with parallel directions, in order to transmit energy.

The mechanical couplings They are present in modern and advanced processes, in which, in addition to the functions described, They also fulfill other objectives, such as protecting the system from excessive loads and forces . That said, it's important to note that mechanical couplings are a relatively recent addition to industry, dating back to the 19th century, although they now have a wide variety of applications.

Among the many functions that they can have couplings mechanics , we must emphasize that their Its main function is to connect the shafts that have been manufactured separately. and that need to rotate, as may be the case of a motor or a generator.

In addition to that, we should also highlight other functions of the couplings , since, similarly, They also allow for a final movement to achieve greater flexibility, as well as providing better disconnection of the two independent devices , in cases where some type of repair or subsequent modification is required.

Thanks to the couplings , also We will be able to reduce the shock transmitted from one shaft to another , while protecting them from possible overloads or vibrations that could impair the performance of the various elements.

Couplings in Dynamics

When choosing the best couplings Whatever your situation, you should know that at Dinámica we are leaders in both the design and production of a wide variety of coupling solutions , among which we find the couplings rigid torsional , the couplings elastic , the couplings of reaction zero , the couplings toothed , the couplings with axis , as well as the bellows and the couplings of disc , and we even have the option of offering you couplings designed according to your own needs.

All solutions of couplings The products you'll find at Dinámica have been specifically designed to meet all your power transmission needs, even the most demanding ones requiring the highest quality. Furthermore, it's worth noting that all Dinámica couplings comply with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

At Dinámica we have a extensive catalog of couplings , whether of the type rigid , elastic either articulated , since, depending on the main characteristics of each type of coupling, it will be more or less suitable depending on what type of installation we need.

Different coupling options

Among the different options we can find regarding In couplings , we find three main groups, the couplings rigid , the couplings flexible and the couplings articulated .

The couplings Rigid couplings , as their name indicates, are all those couplings that we They provide a fixed connection between two shafts , offering high precision and torque. However, it's important to note that this type of coupling cannot absorb misalignment because its rigidity prevents movement between the shafts.

The couplings rigid They are also incapable of absorbing vibrations and, furthermore, they usually require frequent lubrication. This is because both connecting shafts must be correctly aligned to ensure optimal performance and prevent future breakage. Finally, we must emphasize that, Within rigid couplings , we find the subgroups of sleeve coupling , couplings rigid of dishes , and the couplings of sleeve game .

Another coupling option we found is the couplings flexible , and within them, there are couplings elastic metallic or those couplings with some element elastic . The first ones, the couplings elastic Metallic systems are those that use a type of power transmission carried out through, as their name indicates, metallic components. Conversely, in the couplings flexible with a element In plastic , the transmission is carried out by means of some flexible component.

In this case, both couplings elastic They will help us compensate for misalignments, being especially useful in applications where we need a quick start-up of the machinery.

Originally, the couplings elastic They have a lower torque than rigid ones, although this can be solved thanks to the wide variety of alternatives we can find, depending on the type of flexible coupling we use.

Finally, we must talk about the couplings articulated , which are all those whose main function is to prevent the loss of power transmission, by joining two shafts that have different alignments.

Dynamics Coupling Catalog

In the extensive catalog of couplings At Dinámica, you'll find the following options for all your needs:

• Trasco ES coupling, This tool has been specifically designed to compensate for misalignment and dampen vibrations in indexing applications. Its compact design makes it ideal for applications requiring precise movement.
• Servoplus Bellows Coupling, which is ideal for those servomotor applications where high torsional rigidity is required, in addition to true zero backlash, high torques, low inertia, always with the highest reliability.
• Servomate coupling, A coupling specifically designed for servomotor applications. It also features a compact design, which provides low inertia, resulting in a reliable coupling ideal for high speeds.
• Safemax Torque Limiting Couplings, Specifically designed for industrial applications, where automation is increasing and greater system robustness is required, Safemax couplings prevent instantaneous disconnections, eliminating unnecessary risks.
• Metaldrive disc couplings, These are made of steel and are usually used in applications where we need greater reliability and precision, always accompanied by minimal maintenance.
• Sitex ST couplings, These are couplings made of high-quality steel, consisting of one or two toothed hubs.
• Trasco couplings, which are flexible and homokinetic, and will ensure the best performance in their class.
• Sitex couplings, those formed by two toothed steel cubes, which are connected by a toothed crown made from a polyamide resin.
• Juboflex elastic couplings, couplings made with an elastic element of natural rubber, which has steel inserts for mounting fixing screws.
• Sheet metal couplings, These are couplings manufactured in two halves connected with bolts. They require neither maintenance nor lubrication, and their construction also prevents corrosion.
• Bolt couplings, It is a rigid coupling, which has been manufactured in two cast iron halves, connected by means of bolts.
• Universal assemblies, high precision, whose executions consist of 2 cubes with forks and a central block.
