Flexible shaft couplings compensate for four types of shaft misalignment: angular, offset, a combination of the two, and axial movement. Grid couplings are aimed at high output, high torque gear applications, while gear couplings are heavy duty products with large bore capacities.

The OKF coupling (fig 3) was developed to create a simple connection between a cylindrical shaft and engines or gearboxes having a flange at the thrust shaft. The OKF coupling is available with or without a hydraulic unit for mounting/ dismounting.

shaft couplings from SKF The OKCX and OKFX are friction-coated couplings that facilitate the inding of new creative solutions for the shaft line, while taking full

This powerful use of friction enables the OK coupling to transmit torque and axial loads over the entire area of the shaft. There are no stress raisers at the keyway. And no fretting when high shock or reversing loads exist.

Precision products such as SKF OK shaft and flange couplings, SKF Supergrip and Quickgrip Bolts, marine hydraulic nuts and propeller sleeves are based on this tech-nology and reduce operations that previously took hours or even days to a few rapidly performed steps.

This powerful use of friction enables the OK coupling to transmit torque and axial loads over the entire area of the shaft. There are no stress raisers at the keyway. And no fretting when high shock or reversing loads exist.

SKF Couplings Flexible couplings are devices used to mechanically connect two shafts to transmit power from one shaft to the other. They are also able to compensate for shaft misalignment in a torsionally rigid way. Misalignment can be angular, parallel or skew.

A compact coupling that optimizes shaft design OKFX couplings transfer higher torque, making it possible to optimize the design of shaft lines. This enables the use of smaller shaft diameter or coupling length, to transfer the required torque. Reduced coupling pressure creates opportunities for innovative solutions

SKF introduces a new line of driveshaft flex couplers. These new couplings offer exact OE fit, form and function. The connection between transmission, driveshaft and differential works as a unit to maintain smooth operation and provide optimal road performance.
