MAX-C ® Resilient Couplings
Type K2 & UB Floating Shaft Coupling
For very long shaft separations, floating shaft
couplings are used. With rigids mounted
on the equipment shafts, the floating shaft
assembly drops out for easy block inspection
and replacement. Max-C halves with
special end rings and centering bushings
are required.
When ordering, be sure to include HP and
RPM, shaft separation and equipment shaft
sizes. Applications with very large shaft
separations and/or high speeds may require
tubular floating shafts due to lateral critical
speed considerations.
Type K2 & UB Spacer Coupling
Spacer couplings are used on applications
with extended shaft separations. Standard
flex halves are typically used with a standard
gear coupling rigid and a spacer which is
made to order.
For longer separations, and for more misalignment
capacity, the rigid half is replaced
by a flexible disc or gear coupling half, and
a modified Max-C half with special end ring
and centering bushing are used.
For applications with shaft separations
slightly larger than standard, a special long
rigid can be supplied, counterbored for the
correct shaft separation, eliminating the need
for a spacer.
