Flexible Coupling Hub

Flexible coupling hubs are components used in torque converters and speed changers, which are part of the mechanical power transmission equipment supply group. These hubs are designed to connect two shafts together while allowing for some degree of misalignment or movement between them. They provide flexibility and help to reduce vibration and shock in the system.

Flexible coupling hubs typically consist of a cylindrical body with a bore in the center to accommodate the shafts. They may have keyways or set screws to securely attach to the shafts. The outer surface of the hub may have teeth or grooves to engage with a corresponding component, such as a gear or pulley, to transmit torque.

These hubs are made from materials such as steel, aluminum, or cast iron, depending on the application requirements. They are available in various sizes and configurations to suit different shaft diameters and torque capacities.

Overall, flexible coupling hubs play a crucial role in torque converters and speed changers by providing a flexible and reliable connection between shafts, ensuring efficient power transmission and minimizing wear and tear on the system.
