The new flexible-jaw composite shaft couplings from Cross and Morse are supplied finish-bored and keyed ready for immediate use, yet they cost no more than comparable pilot-bored steel couplings
The new flexible-jaw composite shaft couplings from power transmission expert, Cross and Morse, are supplied finish-bored and keyed ready for immediate use, yet they cost no more than comparable pilot-bored steel couplings.
In addition to the substantial cost savings that this represents, users of the new couplings also benefit from the light weight and outstanding corrosion resistance which these innovative products offer.
Available for immediate ex-stock delivery in sizes to suit metric shafts from 10mm to 40mm in diameter, Cross and Morse's new couplings have bodies moulded from high-performance composite material, and are fitted with stainless-steel setscrews.
Inserts are readily interchangeable, and are available in types to suit virtually every industrial application.
Standard nitrile inserts offer good elasticity and resilience, and have an operating temperature range of -35 to +100 C, while urethane inserts increase torque capacity by 50%, but are torsionally stiffer, and have a maximum operating temperature of +70 C.
For maximum torque capacity, and for particularly demanding temperature conditions, Cross and Morse offers Hytrel inserts.
These provide double the torque capacity of standard inserts, and can be used from -50 to +120 C.
They are, however, less tolerant of shaft misalignment than other types of insert.
For all types of composite coupling, even with standard inserts, power transmission capacity is at least equal to that of a steel coupling of the same size.
In addition, the light weight of the composite units ensures quiet running, and reduces wear on bearings, while their virtually metal-free construction means that lubrication is never required, eliminating the need for costly routine maintenance.
Cross and Morse is one of the UK's leading and most experienced manufacturers of power transmission products.
The company is dedicated not only to developing and supplying products which accurately match the requirements of today's market, but also to providing unrivalled service and support for its customers.
Cross and Morse was successfully assessed by Lloyds in 1992, and is now registered as an approved manufacturer to ISO 9002:1994.
