In high output (kW) and high torque applications where vibration, shock loads and misalignmentoccur, SKF Grid Couplings are an excellent choice.The unique design of the grid and hub teeth enable these couplings to accommodatemovement and stresses from all three planes, which can reduce vibration levels byas much as 30%.The tapered grid element is manufactured from a high strength alloy steel. Thegrid, which, is the primary wear component of the coupling is designed for quick andeasy replacement. Unlike other couplings, the hubs and other components are notdisturbed. This makes realignment unnecessary and further reduces downtime andmaintenance costs.
