Split Clamp Coupling

Split Clamp Coupling – Heavy-Duty Power Transmission Solution for Industrial Applications

Product Overview

The Split Clamp Coupling (also known as a Clamshell Coupling) is a robust, easy-to-install coupling designed for high-torque applications where quick assembly and disassembly are required. Its unique two-piece split design allows for fast installation without shaft disassembly, making it ideal for maintenance-heavy environments such as mining, marine, and heavy machinery.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Innovative Split-Clamp Design

Two symmetrical halves bolt together around shafts for tool-free installation

No need to move connected equipment – install/remove without shaft disassembly

Uniform clamping force prevents shaft damage and slippage

2. Heavy-Duty Construction

High-strength cast iron or forged steel (GGG50 / ASTM A536)

Precision-machined grooves for perfect concentricity

Corrosion-resistant coatings (zinc-nickel, epoxy, or stainless steel options)

3. Superior Torque Transmission

Keyless shaft connection (optional keyways available)

Interlocking teeth or friction surfaces for positive torque transfer

High torsional stiffness with minimal angular deflection
