Gear Coupling

• High Torque Capacities
  Gear couplings are designed to transmit high torque at high speed, making them suitable for transmitting power from the motor to the lead screw mechanism in the actuator.
• Misalignment Compensation
  One of the main functions of gear couplings is to accommodate slight angular, parallel, and axial misalignments between the motor shaft and the lead screw or other drive components. This is crucial because even minor installation errors or thermal expansion can lead to shaft deviations.
• Durability and Shock Absorption
  Gear couplings are made from robust materials, ensuring durability and the ability to withstand some shock loading, which can be beneficial in certain actuator applications
• Reduced Stress
  By absorbing misalignments and shocks, gear couplings can reduce stress on the connected shafts and other components, potentially extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.
• Solid Integration
  • Integrates well with Duff-Norton mid and larger capacity actuators and allows for incremental system adjustments.
  • Standard ANSI dimensions, straight bore diameters.
  • Easy fit onto the actuator’s worm shaft.

Optional Features

• Common bore diameters may be custom ordered.
• Special bore diameters may be custom ordered.
