GEAR COUPLING
Ever Since its inception in 1951 Elecons endeavour is to constantly update the products and offer
superior products to its customers based on the latest technology available. Such a long experience in
the field of development, design and manufacture of Power Transmission Equipment has led to the
development of a new series of ELIGN Gear couplings.
The ELIGN Gear couplings are manufactured in Elecons state of the art technology manufacturing
plant on precision CNC machines. The new series of Gear couplings has a technology superiority
compared with the other gear coupling available in the market. The usage of high quality material and
workmanship is built-in-feature of ELIGN Gear couplings.
WHY GEAR COUPLING ?
A Gear Coupling is used to join two rotating shafts for efficient transmission of mechanical power.
Although the shafts are accurately aligned at the time of installation, it is likely that during the operation
the alignment may get disturbed due to setting of foundation, thermal expansion, shaft deflection,
wearing out of other parts, improper maintenance and many more reasons. Due to this unavoidable
misalignment occurring during the operation a gear coulping provides a better solution to compensate
or minimise the effect of misalignment.
The gear Couplings are therefore idealy suited for wide range of application in the entire field of drive
technology.
MISALIGNMENT
The main function of any Gear coupling is not only to connect two rotating shafts but also to
accommodate mis-alignments of the connecting shafts ELIGN Gear coupling accommodates the
following three types of misalignment.
A. Radial
When axes of connected
shafts are parallel but not
in the same straight line
B. Angular
When axes of connected
shafts intersect at center
point of coupling but not
in the same straight line.
C. Combined radial and
angular.
When the axes of connected
shafts do not intersect at
point of coupling and are
not parallel.
FUNCTIONS
MISALIGNMENT
Besides above three types of misalignment, the ELIGN Gear coupling also permits axial movement of the
shaft..
CAUTION.
Normally permissible angular mis-alignment of ELIGN gear coupling is 0.750 for each half. However,
it does not mean that the misalignment should be permitted to this limit from the initial installation. Since
in case of misalignment occurring during operation the Elign gear coupling takes care of it without
undue damage to the connected equipment, however the couplings life may reduce due to relative
motion between hub teeth and housing teeth causing fast wearing out of teeth.
It is therefore extremely important to align the interconnecting shafts precisily during initial installation.
The hub teeth are manufactured on CNC machine. The hub is the heart of any gear coupling and a
superior design and tooth profile of the hub enables the gear coupling to operate satisfactorily under
all operating conditions with increased reliability and long life.
The multi crowned teeth also reduce the alignment adjustment and improve the load carrying capacity
of the teeth. the basklash between the teeth is minimial due to multi-crown tooth design. This is where
ELIGN gear coupling scores over other gear coupling available in the market.
ELIGN gear coupling is a simple, compact and light unit for transmitting the same power when
compered to the couplings of similar capacity available in the market. It is manufactured out of tested
quality forged carbon steel and passes through a number of quality checks.
Each half of the ELIGN gear coupling is interchangeble with any of other half, of same size of coupling
ORDERING INFORMATION
WHEN ORDERING, SPECIFY FOLLOWING INFORMATION
1
Shaft or bore sizes and keyway dimensions. Give exact dimensions with tolerances.
Load Horsepower and/or torque at a specific RPM. State normal and maximum conditions.
Modifications tapered bores, special keys, hub cut off, counterbores or others
Obtain Shaft Sizes Compare shaft sizes of driving and driven equipment with listed maximum
bores of desired Series or Type coupling to determine "tentative" Coupling size
Compute effective kW/rpm or torque to be transmitted select a service factor from adjacent table
Determine
kW/rpm =
(effective)
Confirm "Tentative" Coupling size or increase to a size which has a kW/rpm torque rating equal
to or greater than value computed above.
3
Check Maximum Speed of Application Refer to maximum speed ratings. These speeds are given
only as a guide since the maximum speed depends on the system characteristics.
Check Space Limitations Dimensions of the selected coupling should be compared with space
provided in the application to assure proper clearances. Shaft extensions, separation, and clear
ances to align coupling should be checked.

Lifting Hole
The hubs of the couplings from size ED 1600 onwards are supplied with lifting holes to facilitate lifting of
coupling.
Lubrication
Each coupling half is provided with grease nipple/plug on the housing from where grease can be filled directly.
The coupling are supplied with some quality of grease to facilitate assembly. It is recommended to fill the
required quality and quantity of grease before putting the coupling in operation.
Special Protection
All the components of ELIGN gear couplings are applied a special rust preventive oil coating. Besides all
the bolts & nuts are zinc/cadmium plated to give protection towards rust & corrosion.
