Corrosive chemicals such as chlorine, acids, alkalis, and solvents require special pumps to handle their corrosive properties. Centrifugal pumps are most often used and offer advantages during the production process particularly when operating with Stainless Steel ASK Couplings from Miki Pulley.
These couplings feature a unique “sliced” body structure making them an effective, low-cost corrosion-resistant solution that can accommodate many types of misalignments commonly found in chemical transfer pumps.
One-piece ASK Coupling design is the ideal method for compensating all types of system misalignment in a shaft-to-shaft connection. The sliced design handles high rotation speeds in high-temperature ranges experienced in chemical processing systems.
The ASK Coupling offers exceptional torsional stiffness and strength. This proven Miki Pulley coupling design assures accurate shaft rotation with precise control. The Stainless Steel ASK coupling dampens conductive heat transfer from motor to output shaft. Also important, the coupling provides limited shaft misalignment to alleviate premature system bearing wear.
The coupling’s aerodynamic profile decreases noise while optimizing performance at high speeds. Simple yet reliable, ASK couplings are easily configurable to accommodate a wide range of DBSE (distance between shaft ends). Bores can be arranged with clamp, split-collar, or keyed styles for specific application requirements.
ASK Couplings are a cost-effective choice for chemical chlorine applications and small conveying systems used in the food service industry.
Key ASK coupling specifications are:
• Maximum RPM: 11,500
• Maximum allowable torque: 295 ft-lbs (400 Nm)
• Bore size range: 0.118-in. – 2.17 (3.0 – 55 mm)
• Backlash: Zero
• Ambient operating temperature: -40 – 120 C (-40 – 248 F)
