Ajusteringskobling

Ajusteringskobling, often translated as adjustment coupling or compensating coupling, is a mechanical device designed to accommodate misalignment between connected shafts. This misalignment can occur in various forms, including angular, parallel, or a combination of both. The primary function of an ajusteringskobling is to transmit torque from one shaft to another without inducing excessive stress or wear on the components. This is achieved through a flexible element or a mechanism that allows for relative movement between the shafts during operation.

These couplings are crucial in applications where perfect shaft alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain due to manufacturing tolerances, thermal expansion, or vibrations. By absorbing these misalignments, ajusteringskoblinger help to extend the lifespan of connected equipment, reduce energy consumption by minimizing friction, and ensure smoother operation. They are commonly found in industrial machinery, pumps, electric motors, and other rotating equipment. The specific design of an ajusteringskobling varies depending on the required torque capacity, speed, and the type and magnitude of misalignment it needs to compensate for. Materials used in their construction are typically chosen for their strength, durability, and ability to withstand operational stresses.
