Tire coupling
The simple design of the Drive Components Tire Couplings utilizes a highly flexible, cord reinforced rubber tire clamped between steel flanges that mount on to the drive and driven shafts with Tapered Bushings.
The flexible Rubber Tire requires no lubrication which means less required maintenance.
The torsionally soft Rubber Tire provides excellent shock absorption and vibration reduction resulting in increased life of prime mover and driven machinery.
Drive Components Tire Couplings accommodate substantial Angular Misalignment (2 deg), Parallel Misalignment (1%) as well as End Float and Combination Misalignment.
The Rubber Tire provides electrical isolation between driver and driven shafts which eliminates an important cause of bearing failure.
Drive Components Tire Couplings are interchangeable from a ratings and dimensional standpoint with similar tire couplings on the market.
Drive Components offers Tire Couplings with Torque Ratings up to 102,660 in lbs and bore sizes up to 4-3/4 inches.
