Baseplate Drives
  

A common base plate or sliding base supporting the motor and reducer will help preserve the original alignment between reducer and motor shafts. A steel plate design of angle or channel members is incorporated to prevent flexing under vibration.

We manufacture a wide variety of base plates, guards and components; complimenting each with electric motors, pulleys and belts. We finalize the process by painting the base plate with a durable enamel finish. Contact our engineering department for pricing.

Couplings
  
A gear coupling is a mechanical device for transmitting torque between two shafts that are not coaxial. It consists of a flexible joint fixed to each shaft. The two joints are connected by a third shaft, called the spindle.

Each joint consists of a 1:1 gear ratio internal/external gear pair. The tooth flanks and outer diameter of the external gear are crowned to allow for angular displacement between the two gears. Mechanically, the gears are equivalent to rotating splines with modified profiles. They are called gears because of the relatively large size of the teeth. Gear couplings and universal joints are used in similar applications.

Gear couplings have higher torque densities than universal joints designed to fit a given space while universal joints induce lower vibrations. The limit on torque density in universal joints is due to the limited cross sections of the cross and yoke. The gear teeth in a gear coupling have high backlash to allow for angular misalignment. The excess backlash can contribute to vibration.

Single joint gear couplings are also used to connected two nominally coaxial shafts. In this application the device is called a gear-type flexible, or flexible coupling. The single joint allows for minor misalignments such as installation errors and changes in shaft alignment due to operating conditions.		 power_transmission_couplings
