Causes of damage to the universal coupling

Universal coupling, Used for the elastic connection of the master-slave shafting of power machinery.Circumferentially arranged elastic elements 1 are connected to the master-slave hubs 2 and 3 of the coupling. The spiral ring-shaped elastic body of the elastic element formed by the multi-strand steel wire stranded by the metal splint constitutes the universal coupling master From the annular free deformation space between the hubs, the coupling master and slave hubs form an elastic displacement compensation feature in the axial, radial, and shaft inclination directions through the annular free deformation space.When the universal coupling we use has some failures, we should start from the following aspects: XNUMX) The elastic damper of the main machine sinks, causing the shafting to be divergent and generate additional torque!This may be great for new ships. XNUMX) The rubber component of the high-elastic coupling has a fever and fracture; XNUMX) Matching topic: only the various equipment in the shafting, such as diesel engines, high-elastic couplings, gearboxes, other parts of the shafting, propellers, etc., have a good design And complement each other and support each other, and each improve the design and manufacturing level, so that the designed ships are truly high-quality ships.Only a calm analysis can find the reason for the damage of the universal coupling.
