Fully-Crowned Teeth
The Basis For Gear Tooth Design
Advantages and Features

Amerigear . . . the first, the finest . . .
flexible coupling with Fully-Crowned
Gear Teeth.
In contrast with ordinary gear tooth
forms, the Amerigear Fully-Crowned
Tooth represents the ultimate achievement .....
in the art of gear tooth design, wherein
all three working portions of the tooth are
crowned. As a result, the teeth act much like
a rocking chair, capable of sliding freely in the
axial direction without digging or gouging the
internal mating teeth. Because of this design
advantage, Amerigear Flexible Couplings with
Fully-Crowned Gear Teeth offer operational
benefits of maximum load-carrying capacity
with minimum size, maximum reliability and
long life.

recognized as the ultimate in gear tooth design and the secret
of superior mechanical power transmission! Increased tooth
contact area improves the load-carrying capacity of the
teeth regardless of operating conditions and provides “ball-
and-socket” piloting action at all misalignments. As a result,
connected equipment is able to operate at higher torques,
speeds, and misalignments with resultant longer life.
Rigid, strong, “floating” sleeve (Fig. 2)

A floating sleeve, containing internally-cut gear teeth at Fig 2
opposite ends, is made from medium carbon steel. In effect, it
provides a “bridge” between driving and driven gear meshes. It
can be furnished as a continuous, one-piece sleeve ... or made
in two halves and bolted together.
Precision-machined identical hubs (Fig. 3) Two identical hubs,

machined to close tolerances, contain external Fully-Crowned
Gear Teeth which totally engage internal teeth of the sleeve.
Fully-Crowned Teeth enable coupling to operate longer, with
minimum backlash while assuring free axial movement of
connected shafts.

250°F. For temperatures of 400°F continuous and 550°F for
short periods, Viton O-ring seals are available. These are easily
installed without removing coupling hub and sleeve from
shafting.

Operating advantages The American Flexible Coupling is a
simplified and efficient unit. It performs all of the required
functions of a flexible coupling and compensates for angular
misalignment up to ±1° in standard applications. But it will
compensate for many times this amount without strain to the
connected equipment or loss of power for short periods,
should an unforeseen alignment condition arise. It is ideal for
blind assembly or vertical applications.
The Coupling functions basically on the well-known “Oldham”

principle, modified and improved to accommodate maximum
shaft misalignment with greater efficiency, easy installation,
inspection and servicing. It transmits torque through an
intermediate square floating member, and compensates for
all three types of misalignments by the combined sliding
actions between the closely fitting center member and the
adjacent driving and driven jaw flanges.

Series FA, FAS Flexible Couplings
A multitude of applications exist for axial

travel or “slide” couplings. All gear-type
couplings permit a minimal amount of
travel to accommodate for bearing wear,
shaft or rotor float, or thermal
expansions. But many drive systems
require a greater amount of travel. To fill
these requirements Ameridrives has
developed a series of axial travel
couplings to accommodate most travel
requirements. The FA Series includes
three coupling styles. The FAS Series
includes two styles. The chart below
shows the make up of each. If further
assistance is required in selecting or
designing a coupling with axial travel FA STYLE Ill ILLUSTRATED FAS STYLE I ILLUSTRATED

Tandem Assemblies Two FS Series

Couplings connected by an intermediate
floating shaft comprise a tandem
assembly. The amount of offset capacity
is determined by the distance between
gear meshes. By mounting flexible halves
on floating shaft, advantage may be
taken of larger bore capacity of rigid half
(Fig. A). By mounting rigid halves on
floating shaft, more parallel offset FIG. A TANDEM - FLEXIBLE HALVES ON FLOATING SHAFT
capacity is available (Fig. B). Tandems
may also be used in vertical applications
(Fig. C) with additional modifications.
See Page 37 for maximum operating
speeds of tandem couplings.

Limited End-Float Variation

Application: Recommended for
installations where axial travel must be limited
to a lesser degree than inherent in standard
flexible couplings, such as in a sleeve
bearing motor to prevent the rotor from
“wiping” the bearing shoulders.
Description: A standard coupling is
designed with clearances to
accommodate misalignment and
manufacturing tolerances. When an
application requires that the end float be
restrained, a plastic disc is positioned
between the faces of coupling hubs.
SERIES F LIMITED END-FLOAT SERIES FE
In the case of spacer arrangements, steel
plates with steel thrust buttons are fitted to
the spacer.
As shown, the tandem design can be
modified for limited end float.
It should be noted that as the coupling is

extended or compressed for LEF, the
misalignment capacity of the coupling is
reduced accordingly.
Flanged Sleeve –
Double Engagement Disconnect Type
Application: Meets requirements for
quick connection or disconnection of FS TANDEM
shafts up to 9” diameter, as in stand-by LIMITED END-FLOAT
or emergency mechanical power
transmission service. Compensates for all
three types of misalignment.
Description: Amerigear Series FD and
FDC Flexible Couplings are designed
with bolted center flanges to facilitate
installation and alignment. Flanged-
sleeve design makes possible minimum
distances between bearing housings to
facilitate shaft alignment.
Note: The right-hand hub or disengaging
hub is to be mounted on the driving shaft.
Chamfered entry teeth provided on
disengaging hub and sleeve only when
SERIES FD SERIES FDC
specified – at additional cost.
Without Shifting Collar With Shifting Collar

Brake Drum Series FB Coupling

Application: The FB coupling is designed
for use in applications that require a brake
drum but have insufficient space between
the driver and the driven components for
a separate brake drum mounting.
Description: The FB coupling consists of
standard Amerigear Series F sleeves and
hubs with a flange type brake drum bolted
securely between the sleeve flanges.
Depending on the diameter of the drum,
the drum may be machined as one piece
or fabricated. When ordering, specify
drum diameter and face width.
SERIES FB SERIES FI
Insulated Type Series Fl Coupling

Application: The Fl coupling is designed
for use when driver and driven equipment
must be electrically insulated from each
other to prevent the flow of stray electrical
currents. The Fl protects against the
pitting of precision bearings and shafts
that may occur in equipment such as
generator excitor drives.
Description: The Amerigear Series Fl
coupling incorporates an insulator
