Type F Tire Coupling

The Type F Tire Coupling is a highly flexible and durable shaft coupling designed to connect two rotating shafts while efficiently accommodating misalignment and dampening vibrations. It is especially well-suited for applications that require shock absorption, easy maintenance, and smooth torque transmission.

This coupling features two flanged hubs (typically made of cast iron or steel) and a flexible tire element made from high-quality rubber reinforced with synthetic cord or fabric. The tire is bolted to the flanges using clamping plates and fasteners, allowing for quick installation or replacement without the need to disturb the connected machinery.

One of the standout benefits of the Type F Tire Coupling is its exceptional ability to compensate for angular, parallel, and axial misalignments. The elastic nature of the rubber tire absorbs shocks, dampens torsional vibrations, and reduces noise levels, providing better protection for motors, gearboxes, and driven equipment.

The coupling operates without the need for lubrication, significantly reducing maintenance efforts. Its non-metallic flexible element eliminates metal-to-metal contact, which helps minimize wear and extend service life.

Type F Tire Couplings are commonly used in industrial applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, mixers, and crushers. Their rugged construction, excellent misalignment handling, and vibration isolation make them a reliable choice in heavy-duty environments where operational stability and equipment longevity are critical.
