Types G52 & GV52<br />
The Type G52 single engagement design is used with floating<br />
shafts or three bearing drive trains. It has one flex half and one<br />
rigid half and only accepts angular misalignment. (See Page 19.)<br />
The GV52 vertical single engagement gear coupling is a<br />
standard horizontal single engagement gear coupling modified<br />
to accommodate the sleeve centering assembly. It recommended<br />
for inclinations over 10°. Downward thrust capacity for Sizes<br />
1010 thru 1030GV52 is 1 130 Nm; Sizes 1035 thru 1070GV52<br />
is 3 390 Nm and Sizes 1080GV52 and larger is 9 830 Nm. (See<br />
Pages 23 & 44.)<br />
Floating shaft assemblies are used when distance between<br />
equipment is too great for spacer couplings. A standard floating<br />
shaft assembly consists of two standard single engagement<br />
couplings, two gap discs and a connecting shaft. A floating shaft can<br />
eliminate the need for additional bearing supports along spanning<br />
shafts because the shaft is supported by connected equipment<br />
through the single engagement couplings. (See Pages 21 and 42.)<br />
When used with a vertical floating shaft on inclinations over 10°,<br />
the Type GV52 coupling is used as the lower coupling to support<br />
the shaft.<br />
Flex Hubs on Floating Shaft (RFFR) — Assembly of the flex hubs<br />
on the floating shaft allows for easier replacement and allows the<br />
rigid hubs with greater bore capacity to be used on the<br />
connected equipment shafts. This frequently means a smaller<br />
coupling size can be utilized.<br />
Rigid Hubs on Floating Shaft (FRRF) — When the rigid hubs are<br />
on the floating shaft, shorter shaft spans can be accommodated,<br />
since no cover drawback is required.<br />
Types G52 & GV52 Floating Shaft<br />
Double or single engagement brakewheel and disc brake<br />
couplings are used for applications, such as cranes, hoists and<br />
conveyors. Brakewheel and disc brake couplings accommodate<br />
misalignment between connected equipment and eliminate the<br />
need for double shaft extensions on motors and gear drives for<br />
applications requiring brakes. (See Pages 24 & 25.)<br />
Types G62 & 66<br />
Type G63<br />
Double and single engagement Slide couplings are used for<br />
applications requiring axial movement to accommodate thermal<br />
shaft expansion or adjustment. (See Pages 26 & 27.)<br />
Types GL20 & GL52<br />
