DUNLOP COUPLINGS
DUNLOP flexible and rigid couplings form a vital link between mating components covering virtually any industrial application, from low power low speed general purpose drives, through to high power high torque applications. Flexible couplings cater for misalignment, absorb shock loads and damp out vibrations, while rigid couplings provide a convenient method of rigidly connecting the end of shafts.
HRC Coupling
HRC coupling flanges are available in either F (Taper Bush fits inside) or H
(Taper Bush fits outside) or pilot bored (PB) which can be bored in house to the
required size. These semi-elastic couplings are designed for general purpose
use, they permit quick and easy assembly by means of taper bush fixing to the
mating shaft.
JAW Coupling
Jaw coupling flanges are available either pilot bored (PB) which can be bored
in house to the required shaft size they are also conveniently held in stock in all
popular metric and imperial bore sizes with corresponding key way and 2 grub
screws at 90’ to each other for securing to a shaft.
They suit general purpose applications that cater for misalignment, shock
loads and damp out small amplitude vibrations.
RIGID Coupling
Taper Bore Rigid Couplings provide a convenient method of rigidly
connecting ends of shafts. These couplings have a male and female flange fully
machined. The male flange can have the taper bush fitted from the Hub side (H)
or from the Flange side (F), the female flange
always has the bush fitting (F).
This gives two possible coupling assemblies (HF) and (FF). When
connecting horizontal shafts, the most convenient assembly should be chosen.
When connecting vertical shafts use assembly (FF) only.
TAPER BUSHES
Dunlop Taper Bushes are the most convenient and cost effective method of
fixing components to a mating shaft without using any special tools. Taper
Bushes are pre-machined with the required bore & keyway size and are
supplied complete with locking set screws, thus making savings in time and
cost on any machining process. They are available with both metric or imperial
bore and keyway size options.
Taper Bushes are designed for use with V-Pulleys, Chain Sprockets, Micro
V-Pulleys, Timing Belt Pulleys, Couplings, Weld-On & Bolt-On Hubs. Part
numbers are identified by a 4 digit number (e.g. 1610) which represents
the taper bush series followed by the bore size (e.g. 28mm) for example
1610x28mm.
WELD ON HUBS
Taper Bore Weld-on-Hubs are made out of steel, drilled, tapped and taper
bored to receive standard Taper Bushes. The extended flange provides
a convenient means of welding hubs into fan rotors, steel pulleys, plate
sprockets, impellers and other devices which must be firmly fastened to
the shaft.
Weld-on-Hubs are easy to install and entirely suitable for use where severe
operating conditions are met. Weld-on Hubs are manufactured to complement
the Taper Bush range. All are manufactured from C45 Steel.
