New coupling with no moving parts and encased in vulcanized neoprene
This article has been supplied.
Pearl River, Twin Spring Coupling announced the release of its patented new drivetrain coupling solution for the mining industry. Being the world’s first full thrust coupling unit, encased in vulcanized neoprene and scalable for each companies needs allows mining companies and suppliers to get the most uptime from their machinery. Whether used in pumps submerged in water, conveyor belts with the dust and debris or just the general use of typical mining equipment, with the coupling lubricated at manufacture and encased in neoprene means less maintenance and breakdown issues.
“By creating a simple coupling, the first major enhancement in 100 years of drivetrain technology, allows us to give the industry a reliable coupling and because it’s scalable we can produce a coupling for the individual needs” says Darren Finch CEO of Twin Spring. The flexibility of the springs means it can operate up to 25°, more than either a universal or CV joint, adding the fact that it’s directly connected from input to output it is the only coupling that can take full thrust. This means a stronger coupling that is more flexible than what the market offers today. The two spring’s means the unit is also multi directional offering the same amount of thrust in either direction.
“We are happy to get the product to market, and the mining industry is the ideal industry for the coupling as it needs a new direction in drivetrain technology to overcome the weaknesses in traditional drive train technology” states Mr. Finch.While initially set up for the US market we will expand into the other major mining areas like Australia in the near future
