KXT042 Cone Ring Coupling Pin Half, Taper Lock 1610 Bush

Pin halves for cone ring couplings, taper lock, in sizes KXT042 to KXT150. The pin half is supplied complete with 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 pin half takes a taper lock bush, and the bush series for each size is listed in the table. The bush is machined to your shaft size and keyway, and it is sold separately.

Key specifications

Sizes available

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

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. Fit the bush as the bush maker directs and tighten its screws evenly.
