High-Speed Coupling

About High-Speed Couplings

Coupling Corp specializes in designing and manufacturing couplings for very high-speed applications. Typical applications require extremely lightweight couplings with strict balancing requirements. The FLEXXOR coupling offers a perfect solution for high-speed coupling applications because it can provide a significant amount of misalignment capability in the lightest weight package. To date, Coupling Corp has built high speed couplings capable of running at speeds of close to 100,000 RPM.

On lightweight designs, several low-density material options are available such as aluminum, titanium, or carbon fiber. In addition to lighter materials, Coupling Corp can utilize FEA and other engineering tools to remove the maximum amount of material.

Another component of high-speed coupling designs can be the overhung moment that the coupling adds to the machinery shafts. Coupling Corp has several options to deal with limiting the moment, including using a Reduced Moment coupling design.

High-Speed Coupling for Test Stand Application

Coupling Corp routinely works with high-speed test-stand users and manufacturers to build high-speed test stand couplings to meet very specific requirements. These applications often include torque meters or torque transducers. In those cases, Coupling Corp integrates the torque device into the coupling so that the customer can have a simple system with the most dynamically optimized layout. When you contact us, let us know what torque meter you are using so we can check our library for existing test stand couplings using the same model.
