KX020 Cone Ring Coupling Bush Half, Pilot Bore, 20 mm Max Bore

Bush halves for cone ring couplings, pilot bore, in sizes KX020 to KX170. It mates with the pin half of the same size, which is sold separately and carries the pins, nuts and rubbers.

Cone ring couplings are a time-proven design. Two cast iron flanges are interlocked through a number of flexible elements, and the number depends on the coupling size. Each element is a tapered rubber ring mounted on a hexagonal steel pin, and the rings absorb the misalignment, shock and vibration found in most drives. Each bush half has a pilot bore, so you can have it bored and keywayed to suit your shaft up to the maximum bore listed for the size.

Where this product is used

Selecting and fitting

Choose the size from the torque and speed you need to transmit. The nominal torque and maximum speed for every size are listed in the details for each model, and the shaft sizes must fit within the maximum bore of each half.

Order one pin half and one bush half of the same size. This listing is the bush half in pilot bore. The matching bush half is Cone Ring Coupling Pin Half, Pilot Bore, and the taper lock version of this half is Cone Ring Coupling Bush Half, Taper Lock.

Fit the coupling with the rubbers seated fully on the pins. Align the two shafts as closely as you can before fitting the coupling, and check the alignment again once the coupling is fitted. Good alignment gives the longest life, whatever the coupling type.
