The WH nylon slider coupling is a lightweight and compact flexible coupling designed for reliable torque transmission between two shafts, while accommodating small misalignments and reducing transmission noise. This coupling consists primarily of two metal hubs and a central nylon slider block (also known as a slider or gear insert), which acts as the flexible element between the hubs.
The nylon slider is precision-molded and slides into the slots of both hubs, allowing torque to be transmitted through surface contact. Due to the elastic and wear-resistant nature of nylon, the coupling can absorb minor shocks, vibrations, and accommodate slight angular and parallel misalignments without significant wear. This makes it ideal for applications requiring smooth and quiet operation.
The WH nylon slider coupling is simple in structure, easy to install, and requires minimal maintenance. Its self-lubricating properties ensure long service life without the need for additional lubrication. The compact design helps save space, while the high-strength nylon slider ensures good load-bearing capacity in light to medium-duty transmission systems.
Commonly used in small and medium-sized machinery, such as packaging equipment, textile machines, food processing lines, and automatic conveying systems, the WH nylon slider coupling offers an economical and effective solution for reducing system noise and extending component life.
With its advantages of corrosion resistance, low inertia, and quiet operation, the WH nylon slider coupling is well-suited for modern mechanical drive systems that prioritize efficiency, cleanliness, and reliability.
