Boston Gear FC Jaw Couplings

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
