Rigid Shaft Couplings
What is a Rigid Coupling?
A rigid shaft coupling is a coupling that connects two shafts together while also transferring motion from one shaft to the other. When the two rigid shaft couplings are connected properly, they operate as a single shaft. Rotating equipment parts can be joined with a coupling to allow transmission of power and motion between the two elements. They are commonly used in the food processing, medical, and material handling industries.
Materials:
As a manufacturer of power transmission components, Dayton Superior Products offers a number of rigid shaft couplings to drive your application forward efficiently and affordably. Rather than replacing a power transmission system, shaft couplings simply extend the shafting, allowing you to keep your power transmission system for longer. At Dayton Superior Products, we use the strongest, highest quality materials to ensure maximum performance of all our power transmission parts with competitive pricing. Our shaft couplings are available in the following materials:
- 303 and 304 stainless steel
- Carbon Steel
- Carbon steel with a black oxide finish
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Plate steel
- Spring steel
- Plastics including nylon
- Other custom materials to fit your exact specifications
Available Shaft Couplings:
A steel set screw coupling that combines two shafts of equal size. Choose the standard two-set screw component or four-set screw for greater holding power. A clamp-on style of shaft coupling that uses an 8-screw configuration for optimum hold. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel or rigid carbon steel. Sizing from ¼ to 2 inches. A solid coupling arrangement that is ideal for reversing and stopping-and-starting motions. Can handle misalignment up to .020 inch out of parallel and ½° angularity. This one-piece clamp-style coupling features a bore size of ¼ through 2 inches and relief cuts. The clamping function provides a strong hold and prevents damage to the shafts. Can be re-bored for special sizing if needed.
