FB, FI, Adjustable Axial Position Couplings

Adjustable Axial Position Coupling

Application: In certain types of equipment drives, shaft-to-shaft distance varies during equipment operation requiring an axial travel type of coupling. In addition, adjustment to maintain the maximum axial travel for various initial shaft-to-shaft conditions is also required. The design of the adjustable axial positioning coupling suits this purpose.

Description: The coupling design is similar to that of the axial travel FA or FAS Series. The exception is that the hub of the travel half of the coupling is fitted with a clamp bolt design. The clamp bolt holds the coupling hub in position. When adjustment is necessary, after the drive had stopped rotating, the clamp bolt is loosened and the hub is slid along the equipment shaft to the new position. The clamp bolt is then retightened. This is performed without having to move either the driver or the driven components of the equipment.
