Couplings Rigid

Taper lock rigid couplings provide a convenient way to rigidly connect shaft ends. They have a male and female flange that are fully machined. The male flange can have the bush fitted from the hub or flange side, while the female flange always has the bush fitted from the flange side. This results in two possible coupling assemblies: hub-flange and flange-flange. Selection is based on bore size alone for standard applications. Rotational speed should not exceed 33 meters per second. Dimensions, weights, and code numbers are provided for various taper lock bush and coupling sizes.

DRIVE COUPLINGS
5 Rigid Couplings
Taper Lock Rigid Couplings provide a
convenient method of rigidly connecting
ends of shafts. Taper Lock bushes permit
easier and quicker xing to the shafts with
the rmness of a shrunk-on-t. These
couplings have a male and female ange
fully machined. The male ange can have
the bush tted from the Hub side H or
from the Flange side F, the female ange
always has the bush tting F. This gives
two possible coupling assemblies HF and
FF. When connecting horizontal shafts,
the most convenient assembly should be
chosen. When connecting vertical shafts
use assembly FF only.
SELECTION
For all applications using standard mild steel shafting it is sufciently accurate to select the coupling by consideration of bore size alone.
If transmitted torque is known, this should be checked against the allowable torque for the appropriate Taper Lock bush size/bore shown
on page 128.
For all other applications consult your local Authorised Distributor.
Rotational speed should be limited to a maximum rim speed of 33 m/sec.

All dimensions in millimetres unless otherwise stated.
* J is the wrench clearance to allow for tightening and loosening the bushing on the shaft. The use of a shortened wrench will permit this dimension to be reduced.
H is the distance between shaft ends.
Masses given are for couplings with mid-range bore Taper Lock Bushes.
