H / HR Series Jaw Coupling

Product Overview

The H / HR Series Jaw Coupling is a heavy-duty flexible coupling designed for high torque transmission and demanding industrial applications. It is specifically engineered to handle higher power requirements, larger shaft sizes, and increased operational loads compared to standard jaw couplings.

The H / HR Series combines a rugged metallic hub design with a high-capacity elastomeric element, delivering superior performance in applications involving shock loads, vibration, and moderate misalignment. It is ideal for industries where strength, durability, and reliability are critical.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High Torque Capacity

    Designed to transmit significantly higher torque than standard jaw coupling series, suitable for heavy-duty applications.

  • Robust & Heavy-Duty Construction

    Engineered with strong metallic hubs to withstand high loads and demanding operating conditions.

  • No Metal-to-Metal Contact

    Elastomeric element eliminates direct hub interaction, reducing wear, noise, and maintenance.

  • High Misalignment Capability

    Accommodates angular and parallel misalignment, protecting connected equipment from stress.

  • Excellent Shock & Vibration Damping

    Absorbs dynamic loads and dampens torsional vibrations, ensuring smooth operation.

  • Maintenance-Free Operation

    No lubrication required, reducing maintenance costs and operational complexity.

  • Long Service Life

    Built for durability with high resistance to wear and fatigue under continuous operation.

Construction & Working Principle

Components:
Heavy-Duty Metallic Hubs (H / HR Type)
Manufactured from high-strength S.G. Iron. Designed for large bore sizes and high torque transmission.

Elastomeric Spider (High-Capacity Element)
Available in:
NBR (Buna-N): High damping for general applications
Polyurethane: Enhanced torque and wear resistance
Hytrel: High temperature and high torque capability

Working Principle:
Torque is transmitted through the compression of the elastomeric spider between the jaws of the hubs. The heavy-duty hub design ensures reliable torque transfer, while the elastomer absorbs shocks and accommodates misalignment for smooth and efficient operation.

Advantages
• Suitable for heavy-duty and high-load applications
