For Compensating misalignment,shock & vibration

Spacer Coupling

***Unique PB Pin Bush Couplings are used in General

Engineering applications for reliable power transmission
under normal shaft misalignments.
*** Couplings dampen shocks and vibrations
*** Progressively increasing stiffness characteristics of
special shaped buffers ensure control of vibration amplitude
for protection of equipment.
*** Couplings can take considerable overloads.
*** Standard range has hubs of Cast Iron
*** For special applications couplings with forged steel hubs
available. Brake Drum Coupling
*** Also available couplings with Brake Drum
Couplings with spacer.

Special barrel shapeed buffers provide superior torsional

resilience.

 Selection Procedure Unique Pin Bush Coupling

Step 1- Tentatively select coupling considering driving & driven shaft dia
Step 2- Determine required HP/100 RPM rating as follows :
Required HP/100 rpm = P*100*SF/N
Where P is primemover Power in HP , SF is service factor
N is operating RPM
Step 3 – if selected coupling by step 1 has HP/100 RPM > required HP/100 rpm , selection is
OK . Otherwise select higher size coupling with adequate HP/100 rpm rating.
Step 4 – finally check operating rpm is less than maximum permissible rpm.

Couplings can accept infrequent 3 times rated nominal torque for short duration such as
starting. Starting torque need not be considered for selection for normal application.
However where starting/ stopping is very frequent appropriate service factor should be
considered depending on fogures of torque peaks.
For speeds less than 100 RPM , Service factors may be reduced – Consult Unique

Installation & Maintenance of Unique PB PINBUSH Couplings.
1-General - Correct Installation of Unique PB Pin Bush Couplings goes a long way in ensuring
satisfactory performance.The following instructions should be followed. Flexible Element ( Rubber
Bush) is made of rubber reinforced and gives flexibility in all directions. Normally only Rubber
bushes & Pins may require replacement . Rubber Bush must be protected against dripping oil and
against radiation of heat.The bush is fit for ambient temperatures -30 deg C to 60 deg C .The
coupling is supplied duly assembled.
2.Installation –
1.All components should be cleaned thoroughly .Particular attention should be paid to removal of
any protective coating in the bore of hubs. The hubs should be bored true to outer dia and
accurately as per shaft sizes.
2-. Fit Hubs . Do not hammer in hubs – if necessary hubs may be heated in Oil upto temperature
200 deg C. Hubs should be normally fitted flush with shaft ends. However shaft can can remain
inside hubs provided enough length is covered by hubs.
3. The shaft with hubs duly mounted must be aligned properly , care being taken that gap between
hubs is within the limits stated in catalogue.
5. Check the parallel alignment and angular alignment by dial gauge To achieve required alignment
, necessary shifting/shimming under the equipment may be done .
It is recommended that TIR ( Total indicator reading) & gap between hubs be within these limits.

6. Fit Pins & Bushes & tighten nuts to recommended tightening torque.
7.The coupling should be shielded according to safety regulations.These shields/Guards should be
made from wire mesh or perforated sheet if it is not in contradiction with other & prevailing
requirements in order to ensure adequate ventilation of coupling.
8. It is advisable to recheck alignment and Nut tightness after few hours of initial operation.
Retighten the bolts if necessary.
3. MAINTENANCE- Check Rubber bushes for wear & tear. If worn out/ loose , replace the same.
Replace pins if necessary .
