Jaure® Barrel Couplings (TCB® TCB-HD)

The barrel coupling consists of a sleeve and a hub having same tooth profiles. A series of hardened steel cylindrical barrels are inserted in the holes formed by this hub and sleeves toothing to act as power transmission elements.

Jaure® TCB® barrel couplings connect the cable drum with the gearbox output shaft. They are recommended for installation in:

  • crane lifting mechanisms
  • winch conveyors
  • platform hoists 

A statically indeterminate case exists when a gearbox output shaft is rigidly connected to the drum in a lifting mechanism. This type of mounting requires special care in alignment and leveling, which is difficult to achieve in the practice.

The barrel coupling is installed between the gearbox and cable drum. It performs the function of an articulated joint. This makes the connection statically determinate and avoids the occurrence of high bending moments.

7. Coupling Components and Accessories

Kop-Flex developed greases especially for use as shaft coupling lubricants. Kop-Flex® offers greases with special qualities. Most commercial grease formulations will not ensure adequate performance and are not ideal coupling lubricants.

 

KHP and KSG greases uses polyethylene thickeners. They have a density closer to that of oil. This makes them less susceptible to separation. Heavier thickeners and additives can separate and migrate into the gear teeth or other working parts. This process displaces the lubricating oils from where they are most needed.

 

Waverly Torque Lube-A was developed to solve the special lubrication problems of relatively low speed, highly loaded gear spindle couplings used extensively in metal rolling mills.

Morse Miter and Browning bevel right angle reducers providing ratio ranges from 1:1 to 3:1 depending on model and brand selected.


Bevel and miter gearing is a form of gearing in which the tooth-bearing surfaces are the faces of the gears rather than the edges. In bevel and miter gearing, the gears are cone shaped. This allows the edges of the mating gears to mesh and transmit torque. The geometry of the mesh creates a 90 degree angle. As a result, this type of gearing is suitable for applications where a change of direction is required. Other designs exist to create other angles however 90 degrees serves the majority of applications. In bevel and miter gearing the input and output shaft are intersecting. It is typical for bevel and miter gear reducers to have lower reduction ratios. For example, 5:1 and lower are typical and they are different than other types of gearing.
