Brief introduction of plum coupling

1. The plum blossom coupling is a widely used coupling, also called a claw coupling;

2. The plum blossom coupling is composed of two metal claw plates and an elastic body.The two metal claws are generally made of No. 45 steel, but aluminum alloy is also useful when load sensitivity is required;

3. The operating temperature range of plum coupling is: -35 to +80 degrees;

4. The plum blossom coupling is processed by machining methods such as turning, milling, and broaching, and then undergoes overall heat treatment to have sufficient mechanical strength;

5. The life of the plum blossom coupling is the life of the elastomer, which is generally composed of engineering plastics or rubber;

6. There are two main types of plum blossom couplings, one is the traditional straight claw type, and the other is the curved (concave) claw type zero-clearance coupling;

7. The plum blossom coupling has simple structure, no lubrication, convenient maintenance, easy inspection, maintenance-free, and can run continuously for a long time;
