FARR Coupling

The FARR Coupling is utilized when a rigid connection is needed among the minimal velocity shaft of a gearbox as well as the head shaft of the conveyor, bucket elevator, mixer or any over-hung or suspended load. When sized thoroughly, the FARR Coupling will carry the applica-tion torque, excess weight of gearbox, motor and swing plate. While in the case of a mixer, it is going to carry the weight of the shaft and impeller, thrust forces and resulting bending moments.
Elements of a FARR Coupling include male and female piloted hubs made from 4140 alloy steel. The hubs are extended to assure 80% hub to shaft get in touch with. Keeper plates are incorporated for safety. The 2 hubs are assembled with Grade 8 bolts and Grade À Prevailing Torque nuts. Typical coupling sizes possess a nominal torque range from eleven,300 to 5,736,000 in-lbs. More substantial sizes can be found depending on the application.

A. Obtain The next Information:
Application

Gearbox (Reducer) Ratio
Output Speed
All Shaft Sizes
Overhang Load
Lever Arm
(Distance from end of Gearbox output Shaft to Center-Line of Gearbox or Center Line of Gravity)
B.Calculate Application Torque:
T (in-lb) = ¡ê¡§HP x 63025¡ê?/RPM
C.Calculate Style Torque by applying 2.0 Service Factor to application torque.
D.Select coupling with a torque capacity equal to or greater than the Layout Torque from the Performance Data table.
E.Verify that the Bore capability of your coupling will meet the application shaft requirements.
F.The Male pilot hub to always be made use of over the Reducer (Gearbox or Driver) shaft as well as the Female pilot hub to always be utilised about the Head (Driven) shaft.
G.Drive System Analysis must be performed by Application Engineering to verify coupling selection.
