The use of snake spring couplings

Function of snake spring coupling:

A snake spring coupling is a mechanical part used to connect two shafts in different mechanisms so that they can rotate together to transfer torque. In high speed and heavy load power transmission, some coupling transmission parts also play the role of cushioning, damping and improving the dynamic performance of shafting. Most couplings consist of two halves connected to the drive shaft and the driven shaft.

The composition of snake spring coupling:

Snake spring coupling belongs to the more common parts of mechanical equipment, in fact, in some high-speed heavy load power transmission, some couplings also buffer, vibration reduction and improve the dynamic performance of shafting. The coupling consists of two halves connected with the drive shaft and the driven shaft respectively. The general engine is connected with the working machine mostly by means of the snake yellow coupling, which is the common connecting parts of the mechanical product shafting transmission. At present, it can be seen that coupling products develop very fast, in the product design, how to choose from a variety of couplings of different performance to meet the requirements of the machine, for most designers, is always a problem.

To sum up:

Snake spring coupling is also called coupling, are connected to a variety of mechanical equipment of the drive shaft, but because of the difference of each kind of mechanical equipment, so the function of a variety of coupling transmission parts is slightly different, such as in the forklift truck coupling is used to transfer the transmission and drive axle between the power. The following 3t forklift due to the short longitudinal size of the transmission system, generally adopt rigid connection structure, that is, from the engine - clutch - transmission - coupling axle housing - drive axle are bolted connection, also _ from the engine to the drive axle is a rigid whole, in the middle of the rigid whole, using gear coupling. Forklifts above 5t generally adopt universal joints because of the longer longitudinal size of the transmission system. The power is transmitted through the coupling to the drive axle of the forklift truck.
