The Value of GEARED COUPLINGS
Errors in the alignment of connected shafts are, generally speaking, unavoidable. Even when exceptionally favourable conditions do permit of perfect alignment in the beginning, working loads must eventually cause misalignment. Wear of bearings and vibration are two certain factors which contribute to throwing connected shafts out of true, and even changes of temperature may vary alignments.
MOSS GEARED COUPLINGS will be found to be the perfect solution to this problem of retaining efficient operation. Intensive research has enabled us to design a Coupling which not only balances alignment errors, but also permits free lateral float to the connected shafts, thus increasing enormously the life of connected machinery.
A feature of these Couplings is their ability to transmit the full power of the connected machines with a smooth uniformity which guarantees the maximum efficiency. All shaft misalignments are taken care of without undue strain on shafts or bearings, and their ability to allow free endwise float to each shaft will be doubly appreciated by users of gear driven machinery.
The shock of sudden reversals is adequately borne by these geared couplings without damage to themselves or the machines they connect. The Mark 5 Series of Couplings has been designed to transmit greater horse-power and increased maximum bore sizes than previously possible. The experience gained from previous Couplings has ensured that these Couplings will prove invaluable to all users of machinery employing connected or Coupled shafts.
In the following diagrams exaggerated for clarity the easy way in which the Coupling automatically adjusts itself to take care of alignment errors will be appreciated.
