Tyre couplings are a type of flexible coupling used to connect two shafts in mechanical systems. They're known for their high flexibility, ability to absorb shocks and vibrations, and ease of maintenance. Here's a breakdown of their uses, details, benefits, and other key points:

1. General power transmission: Between electric motors and pumps, compressors, conveyors, fans, etc.

2. Industrial machinery: Widely used in mining, cement, paper, chemical, and food processing industries.

3. Heavy-duty applications: Suitable for drives subject to vibration, misalignment, or torque fluctuation.

• Construction:

  • Flexible tyre element: Made of rubber or synthetic material (natural rubber, neoprene, etc.)

  • Two metal hubs (flanges): Connect to the shafts and clamp the tyre element in between.

• Design types:

  • Split tyre: Can be changed without moving shafts.

  • Solid tyre: Requires more disassembly to replace.

• Misalignment handling:

  • Angular, parallel, and axial misalignments are absorbed by the flexibility of the tyre.

1. High Flexibility:

   • Handles angular, parallel, and axial misalignments smoothly.

2. Vibration and Shock Absorption:

   • Reduces wear on connected equipment.

3. Non-lubricated Design:

   • Low maintenance compared to gear or chain couplings.

4. Easy Installation and Replacement:

   • Split tyre type allows tyre changes without disturbing connected machinery.

5. Silent Operation:

   • Rubber tyre dampens noise from vibration or misalignment.

6. Long Service Life:

   • Durable tyre materials designed to withstand harsh environments.

7. Fail-safe Options:

   • Some models have built-in fail-safe mechanisms in case the tyre fails.

• Pump drives

• Conveyor systems

• Blowers and fans

• Crushers and mixers

• Generators

• Compressors

• Not suitable for very high-speed or precision alignment applications.

• Tyre material may degrade under certain chemicals or high temperatures.

If you want, I can also give you a comparison between tyre couplings and other types (like gear, grid, or disc couplings). Let me know!
