BJ-Gear A/S supplies our own manufactured AXO gear couplings as well as couplings from leading manufacturers world wide.
A wide range of Gear couplings
Gear tooth couplings
Gear couplings, also known as curved tooth couplings, transmit torque and accommodate some misalignment through their gear teeth. The gear couplings are often used in applications with requirements of high torque and balance, and due to their high torque capacity they are ideal for demanding applications.
Sleeve couplings
Sleeve couplings consist of a pipe with a bore that fits the required tolerance based on the shaft size, as well as an inner and outer sleeve that is tapered to match each other. The outer sleeve is driven onto the inner sleeve to clamp the two shaft ends together. A sleeve coupling does not require a keyway, and therefore you avoid weakening of the shaft.
Metal grid couplings
Metal grid couplings are ideal for applications with high torque levels as well as damping requirements. They are used to transmit torque and rotation between shafts, and while accommodating the small variations in alignment that may occur between connected shafts, they are also capable of reducing vibrations by up to 30% and absorbing shock loads.
Safety and disengageable couplings
The safety couplings provide a quick and reliable interruption of the drive component and the driven component if a torque stop exceeds a preset level. This helps prevent damage and downtime. Safety couplings offered by BJ-Gear operate as overload breakaway devices and operate on a spring-loaded ball bearing principle.
