1.0 RIGID OR FLEXIBLE COUPLING? Rigid coupling

Used to connect shafts that are precisely aligned

Flexible coupling
Accommodates misalignment Dampen vibrations or shock load Used for most industrial applications, rather than rigid coupling, because of these multiple functions

MASKA 2009-M2

1.0.1 TYPES OF FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS A. Metallic types

Torsional stiffness Operates in relatively high ambient temperature and/or in presence of certain oils or chemicals Electric motor drive only - not recommended for combustion engine Applications with relatively constant loads

B. Elastomeric types
Torsional softness (absorbs shock and vibration) Allows more angular misalignment between shafts Lower cost and lighter weight Smoother and quieter operations

MASKA 2009-M2

1.0.2 Flexible coupling - Elastomeric types

Maska Starflex:
compression type can transmit more torque in less space and easy to install

4-FLEX:
shear type allows torsional wind-up and transmits higher torque

Maskaflex:
shear type coupling generally produces lower shaft loads when submitted to parallel offset misalignment

MASKA 2009-M2

1.1 Jaw Coupling - compression type

First patented in 1927 Simple design - three components: two hubs and one elastomeric element It is called a compression type coupling, because torque is transmitted by conversion between the driver hub and the driven hub

MASKA 2009-M2

1.1.1 Features of Maska Starflex coupling

Fail-safe when equipment cannot be allowed to stop. If the elastomeric element should fail, the coupling will still transmit the torque due to the metal-to-metal contact. Great capability to handle torque over loads or spike

Simple to install, compact and low cost

Angular misalignment is more limited than in shear-design

MASKA 2009-M2

1.1.4 Element material - NBR

Most commonly used element material for all general applications - Pumps, gear box, etc.

MASKA 2009-M2

1.1.5 Element material - Urethane

Greater torque capacity than rubber Good abrasion / wear resistance Better resistance to environmental conditions such as ozone, ultraviolet and some oils or chemicals agents. Should not be used in cyclic or start/stop applications Limited to 160F

MASKA 2009-M2

1.1.6 Element material - Hytrel

Higher torque capacity than rubber and urethane Best chemical resistance, compared to urethane and maximum temperature of 250F Angular misalignment less than urethane and rubber. 1/2 compare to 1 As urethane, should not be use in frequent start/stop applications or regular shocks and vibrations

MASKA 2009-M2

1.1.7 Element material - Bronze

Not elastomeric, but an option for high temperatures, such as 450 F Could be used in salt/marine applications Only used in slow speeds, generally below 250 rpm, since its a metal-to-metal contact which increases wear

1.3 Features of

Maskaflex coupling

Compared to other couplings in the industry, the tire coupling is the most suitable for applications with shock loads, angular misalignment up to 4 degrees or end float up to inches. It is made of natural rubber and reinforced tension member bonded together. The element has a special series of cables near the flange attachment that offers longer life expectancy and prevents premature shear failure.

2.1 Weld-On Hub QD

Product Features & applications
The QD weld-on hub are used in a wide range of applications such as plate steel sprocket, conveyor and fan blades. All Maska Weld-on hub are made of steel since cast iron is difficult to weld. Once a material contains a high level of carbon, this will reduce welding capabilities. Maska QD bushings have a synchronized keyway with bolt holes so they can be easily used once two of these need to be installed face to face on the same keyed shaft

2.4 XT Hubs & Bushings

Product features
Not interchangeable with QD or any other bushing even if it has a similar design. Supply with hexagonal head cap screws and spring lock washers like QD bushings for installation. Van Gorp / Browning is the original manufacturer of these kind of weld-on hubs

MASKA 2009-M2

2.4 XT Hubs & Bushings

Taper is 2" per foot compared to QD which has per foot.

XT bushings are shorter compared to QD and will only fit in these hubs (XTH). Only sizes XTB100 & XTB120 are made of gray cast iron.

3.0 QD BUSHING SHORT

Same features than the QD but with a shorter barrel or taper length. 100% interchangeable with competitors. Short QD bushings are only available from J through S. Supplied with shorter Hexagonal bolts than QD but still comes with set screw and lock washers Would not be appropriate on v-belt pulley since stability is required for multiple grooves pulley so they are generally used face to face with conveyor pulley or alone with a steel plate sprocket, blade, impellers that are not too wide.
