Overview
At Boston Gear, we manufacture our FC couplings from the highest quality alloy steel - not from powdered metal as many other industrial manufacturers do. Consisting of two metal jaws - or hubs - and an insert, this style of coupling is suited for high-torque and shock loads, does not require lubrication, and is not affected by oil, grease, dirt, or moisture.
The allowable torque for the FC series of couplings is determined by the insert material. These inserts are the wearing member of the coupling and can be easily replaced with minimal effort.
Features and Benefits
Alloy steel hubs make these FC couplings extremely durable.
Three types of inserts accommodate a variety of needs:
Oil-impregnated bronze
Rubber
Polyurethane
For your maintenance convenience all coupling halves are stocked with finished bores, keywayed and setscrewed; or solid bores to be machined to your specifications.
3/8" to 2-1/8" bores meet diverse design needs.
Solid hubs are available to satisfy special requirements.
Sample Applications
Printing equipment
Machine tools
Business machines
Pumps
Material handling equipment
