Though one may not think of gears as being flexible, gear couplings are very much considered to be a flexible coupling. A gear coupling is a mechanical device designed to transmit torque between two shafts that are not collinear. The coupling typically consists of two flexible joints, one fixed to each shaft. These joints are […]

HercuFlex gear couplings improve performance while maintaining interchangeability
The HercuFlex series of gear couplings from Lovejoy were designed with a large bore capacity, high nominal torque ratings and misalignment capabilities of 1.5° per gear mesh. Yet the couplings still meet the AGMA flange standards (allowing interchangeability with existing flanges gear couplings) and come available in AGMA sizes 1 to 30. HercuFlex consists of […]
