Torque transmission makes the world go round, at least that’s the truth for the industrial world. Almost every industry relies on torque in some ways. Think power tools such as drills and grinders, automobiles powered by engines and gear systems, or massive industrial machines that make large-scale production a reality. Countless components make torque transmission possible. In this blog, we draw your attention to gear couplings, the silent heroes making seamless torque transmission a reality.  True Gear & Spline Ltd. in Cambridge, Ontario, manufactures the best couplings. Read until the end to learn their benefits and applications.

True Gear & Spline Ltd. Manufactures Durable Custom Gear Couplings

Benefits of Gear Couplings

High-Torque Capacity

Couplings are designed to accommodate axial, parallel, and angular misalignment. It is made possible thanks to the clearance between the gear teeth. You cannot achieve high torque capacity without couplings, as there will be no scope for misalignment. Custom couplings are necessary to achieve high-torque capacity, with the help of gears and splined shafts.

Ease of Installation

The compact and flexible design of couplings offers ease of installation. Gear manufacturers provide seamless manufacturing and installation for existing machinery and equipment. The compact design is not to be mistaken for low performance. They are designed to guarantee minimal energy loss and maximum efficiency.

Durability

Once you source a custom coupling, you need not worry about expensive repairs or maintenance. Made of durable metals and alloys, gear couplings offer top-notch performance for many years. Appropriate and timely lubrication significantly enhances longevity and guarantees top performance. 

Applications of Gear Couplings

Here is a list of machinery/equipment with custom couplings.

• Pumps
• Cranes
• Generators
• Turbines
• Compressors
• Mining Equipment
• Gear Boxes
• Propulsion Systems
• Material Handling Equipment

Couplings are perfect for high-torque, high-speed applications.
