Flange couplings for agricultural and construction machines
When working with agricultural machines, construction equipment or industrial vehicles, you often encounter flange couplings. These robust couplings ensure a reliable connection between various drive parts or machine components. Whether you're maintaining an older tractor or assembling an implement carrier, the right flange coupling makes all the difference.
What does a flange coupling do?
A flange coupling connects two shafts or machine parts. Thanks to the flanges on both sides, the parts can be securely fastened with bolts. This type of coupling is widely used to transfer power and motion between drives, such as engines and shafts.
Flange couplings are popular in agriculture and construction because they:
-
can handle high loads,
-
reduce vibrations,
-
and are easy to mount and disassemble.
Advantages of flange couplings
Why do so many users choose flange couplings?
-
Strong connection: Reliable even under heavy machinery and high forces.
-
Low maintenance: Easy to disassemble for inspection or replacement.
-
Versatile use: Suitable for tractors, construction machines and industrial applications.
Tips for selecting and using flange couplings
When buying a flange coupling, keep the following in mind:
-
Check the size: Make sure the flanges match the shafts or parts you want to connect.
-
Choose the right material: Steel couplings are the most common for heavy-duty use.
-
Use proper bolts: Always use high-quality bolts to ensure safety.
Proper installation prevents wear and extends the lifespan of both the coupling and the machine.
