Finer Power curved Tooth Gear Coupling Nylon Sleeve RGF-48-2

These are curved tooth nylon gear sleeves for curved tooth gear couplings, in sizes RGF-19-2 to RGF-65-2. Curved tooth gear couplings are made of two geared hubs and a curved tooth nylon sleeve. This is a double section design, and the nylon and steel pairing is maintenance free. The coupling takes up axial, radial and angular misalignment, and it assembles by plugging the hubs into the sleeve along the shaft axis.

The nylon toothed sleeve has high rigidity, resists temperatures to 100 °C, does not become brittle at low temperature, and resists chemical corrosion. It also insulates electrically. One sleeve is used with two hub halves, and each sleeve is against the hub it suits.

Where this product is used

• Motor to pump and gearbox connections
• Mechanical and hydraulic drives
• Machinery where a maintenance free coupling is wanted
• Drives that need to take up some misalignment

Features

• Curved tooth nylon sleeve, one per coupling
• Nylon is rated to +100 °C and does not become brittle in the cold

• Sizes RGF-19-2 to RGF-65-2, each against the RGF-1 hub it suits

Key specifications

Sizes available

Choosing the right option

Choose the size from the torque rating and the shaft sizes. Order two hub halves (-1) and one nylon sleeve (-2) of the same size for each coupling. The hub half is Curved Tooth Gear Coupling Hub Half, Pilot Bore.

Check the maximum bore of the size against your shaft before you order.

Fit the hubs on the shafts and plug them into the sleeve along the shaft axis. 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.
