SKF/Global Chain Couplings

Chain couplings are able to transmit higher torque than their shafts, making them idealfor high torque applications. Available with a pilot bore, finished bore or tapered bushing(face or hub), flanges are linked together with du plex roller chains enabling themto accommodate up to 2° of misalignment.To help provide maximum service life andreliability, particularly for high speed applications, SKF recommends fitting all chaincouplings with a cover and lubricating them properly. If a chain coupling is to be subjectedto reversing operations, shock or pulsating loads, or other severe operating conditions,select a coupling one size larger than normal.
