T-type and D-type diaphragm couplings

The diaphragm coupling compensates for the relative displacement between the two connected shafts through the elastic deformation of its diaphragm, making it a high-performance, metal-based flexible coupling with strong mechanical properties.

Detailed introduction

Product Features
The diaphragm coupling compensates for the relative displacement between the two connected shafts through the elastic deformation of its diaphragm, making it a high-performance, metal-based flexible coupling with strong mechanical properties.
1. It has strong capability to compensate for misalignment between the two shafts; compared with gear couplings, it can accommodate twice as much angular displacement. When there is radial displacement, the reaction force is small, and its flexibility is high, allowing for certain axial, radial, and angular displacements.
2. It has a noticeable shock-absorbing effect, produces no noise, and is wear-free.
3. Able to operate safely under high-temperature conditions (-80~+300) and in harsh environments, and capable of reliable operation even under impact and vibration conditions.
4. High transmission efficiency, reaching up to 99.86%. Particularly suitable for medium- and high-speed, high-power transmissions.
5. Simple structure, lightweight, compact size, and easy to assemble and disassemble. Assembly and disassembly can be carried out without moving the machine (referring to models with an intermediate shaft), and no lubrication is required.
6. It can accurately transmit rotational speed with no slip during operation, making it suitable for the transmission of precision machinery.
 
Application scenarios
Widely used in shaft transmission systems for various mechanical devices, such as pumps (especially high-power and chemical pumps), fans, compressors, hydraulic machinery, petroleum equipment, printing machinery, textile machinery, chemical machinery, mining machinery, metallurgical machinery, aerospace (helicopters), high-speed propulsion systems for ships, steam turbines, reciprocating power machinery transmission systems, tracked vehicles, and high-speed, high-power mechanical transmission systems for generator sets—after dynamic balancing, their application in high-speed shaft transmission systems has become quite common.
 
T-type and D-type diaphragm couplings
It features a simple structure for easy disassembly and assembly, small size, light weight, high torque transmission capability, excellent ability to accommodate misalignment in the equipment set, effective noise reduction and vibration damping, and is safe, reliable, maintenance-free, and boasts a long service life. It is suitable for various rotating equipment such as pumps, blowers, mills, rolling mills, and more.
The structural configurations are shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2, and the technical parameters and main dimensions are listed in Table 2-1.

Diaphragm coupling

The diaphragm coupling is a metallic flexible coupling that can compensate for deviations in the radial, axial, and angular directions. Compared to conventional diaphragm couplings, it features a compact structure, strong corrosion resistance inherent in the diaphragm itself, high load-carrying capacity, light weight, and suitability for high rotational speeds.

T-type and D-type diaphragm couplings

The diaphragm coupling compensates for the relative displacement between the two connected shafts through the elastic deformation of its diaphragm, making it a high-performance, metal-based flexible coupling with strong mechanical properties.

F-type diaphragm coupling

The F-type structure combines the advantages of both the R-type and G-type designs. For the same specification, the F-type has a greater shaft diameter capacity than the R-type and a smaller outer diameter than the G-type.

G-type diaphragm coupling

In addition to the key advantages of R-type couplings, the G-type coupling’s half-coupling features a larger shaft diameter capacity and can be manufactured with either straight bores or tapered bores (for hydraulic assembly and disassembly), or it can be conveniently connected to flanged shaft discs. The G-type is particularly well-suited for large electric motors, generators, or steam turbine units. Among all types of couplings, the G-type coupling is the easiest to assemble and disassemble.

R-type diaphragm coupling

The R-type structure ensures that the center of gravity on both sides is as close as possible to the support bearings of the two units, minimizing additional bending moments at the rotor shaft end and thereby promoting smooth, high-speed operation. The flexible components—comprising the half-coupling, diaphragm assembly, and protective sleeve—have been fully assembled prior to leaving the factory and are connected via a stop collar on the intermediate section, allowing for easy overall assembly and disassembly. Even after multiple reassemblies and disassemblies, this coupling maintains permanent alignment and dynamic balance. The large distance between the two flexible elements (diaphragms) enables the coupling to effectively absorb misalignment between the units. The intermediate section—being sufficiently long—can be removed to facilitate easy disassembly of the half-coupling from the shaft without requiring any movement of the entire unit (the same applies during installation). Shims at both ends of the intermediate section can be added or removed to compensate for installation errors and to conveniently achieve pre-tensioning, thereby accommodating thermal expansion or other dynamic misalignments of the units.

NUP New Elastic Sleeve Pin Coupling

The NUP flexible coupling’s elastomer material is made of polyurethane reinforced with graphite, offering excellent toughness, self-lubrication, and wear resistance. It features a hollow-grid design and comes in three different elasticity options, providing superior vibration absorption and impact resistance. The conical-bore bolts ensure a tight fit that remains secure and does not loosen over time. Thanks to its high safety and reliability, as well as its outstanding vibration absorption and impact resistance, this coupling has received unanimous praise from more than 100 users. As a result, it has been awarded innovation funds by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and the Municipal Science and Technology Commission.
