Gardner Denver QX112136 Coupling Assembly for Air Compressors

A coupling is a mechanical device that connects two shafts together to transmit power from a driver (such as a motor or engine) to a driven component (like a pump, gearbox, or conveyor). Its essential functions include:

• Accommodating shaft misalignment
• Dampening vibrations
• Protecting connected equipment from shock loads
• Compensating for imperfect installation

• Misalignment Compensation: Engineered to handle:
  • Parallel misalignment (non-collinear shafts)
  • Angular misalignment (shafts at slight angles)
  • Axial misalignment (end float movement)
• Vibration Dampening: Flexible elements absorb torsional vibrations and shock loads
• Zero Backlash: Precise connection for high positional accuracy applications
• Easy Maintenance: Split-spider design allows element replacement without equipment movement
• High Torque Density: Compact design transmits high torque efficiently
• Electrical Insulation: Prevents bearing damage from stray currents

• Elastomeric Couplings: Flexible rubber/polyurethane elements for general industrial applications
• Metallic Disc Couplings: Stainless steel discs for high-speed, high-temperature precision applications
• Grid Couplings: Steel grid design for excellent shock absorption in heavy industry
• Gear Couplings: High torque capacity for severe-duty applications
• Oldham Couplings: Ideal for high parallel misalignment in motion control
• Beam Couplings: Single-piece helical design for precision light-duty applications

• Industrial pumps and fans
• Compressors and generators
• Processing machinery (conveyors, mixers, extruders)
• Marine and offshore systems
• Renewable energy systems
• Precision motion control equipment
• Automotive and aerospace applications

• Engineering expertise for optimal coupling selection
• Proven reliability exceeding AGMA and ISO standards
• Reduced total cost of ownership through extended equipment life
• Comprehensive product range from standard to custom solutions
• Global availability with fast delivery and local support
