Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flexible gear coupling?
A flexible gear coupling connects two shafts using crowned external gear teeth on the hubs meshing with internal teeth in the sleeve, transmitting torque while accommodating angular, parallel, and axial misalignment.
What torque range do SMI flexible gear couplings cover?
SMI flexible gear couplings span the FGC 1–7 range, rated up to approximately 4,800 Kg.M, suitable for light industrial drives through heavy steel-mill and mining duty.
How much misalignment can a flexible gear coupling handle?
SMI flexible gear couplings accommodate up to about ±1.5° angular misalignment per gear mesh (±3° total on a full coupling) and around 0.75 mm parallel offset, plus axial float, while transmitting full rated torque.
Do flexible gear couplings need lubrication?
Yes. Metallic flexible gear couplings are packed with EP2 lithium-complex grease and re-greased roughly every 2,000–3,000 running hours (about every 6–12 months), depending on speed, temperature and duty.
What is the difference between full and half flexible gear couplings?
A full gear coupling has both hubs flexible (misalignment on both shaft ends); a half gear coupling has one flexible geared hub and one rigid flange, for drives where only one end needs to flex.
