Taper Grid Coupling Grid Element

• Grid assembly for taper grid coupling.
• Grid in light load, the grid bears near the outer edges of the hub teeth and the long span between the points of contact remains flexible under load variations.
• Grid in normal load, as the load increases, the distance between the contact points on the hub teeth is shortened, but a free span still remains flexible for shock loads.
• Grid in shock load, the coupling is flexible within its rated power capactity. Under extreme overloads, the grid bears and transmits full load on the hub teeth directly.

About KCP Taper Grid Coupling

• Taper Grid Couplings are recognizable due to their unique steel flexible grid running through the tapered hubs.
• The benefits of the Grid Coupling are reduced vibration and shock loads.
• The compact size of shaft-to-shaft couplings.
• Handle torque capacity due to high strength hardened alloy steel construction
• Deflect torsionally for normal shock or vibratory loads.
• Capacity for misalignment without producing the detrimental side loads.
• Designed with a trapezoidal cross-section and tempered for spring hardness.
• Increase in strength rating and provide reserve strength for a longer part life.
• Easy to fit the trapezoidal grids into the slots of the hub and short time of installation.
• Free to rock, pivot, and float.
