Comprehensive Range of Shaft Couplings in the ACT

CBS has a large range of couplings to suit various applications. Choose from everyday couplings like HRC and Jaw to Omega equivalent Max Dynamic couplings.

The HRC coupling is a proven performer, consisting of two cast iron flanges and a rubber element, which performs under compression. The modular design allows for a simple fitting and easy maintenance whilst the rubber element absorbs shock loading and compensates for marginal misalignment. CBS carries an excellent range of HRC couplings in Pilot Bore and Taperlock.

The Jaw coupling is recognised across a large range of industries. The Jaw coupling is highly resilient, it does not require any lubrication and can work in environments contaminated with oil, dirt, sand, moisture and grease. The rubber insert is designed to absorb shock loading and does not allow for any metal on metal contact. The inserts are available as Spider Element as well as Wrap Element Kits. We stock a range of Jaw couplings in a variety of pre-bored and keyed sizes.

Self-locking assemblies provide reliable, high strength keyless connections by converting locking screw clamp loads into radial contact pressures applied simultaneously to both the shaft and the bore of the mounted component. The resulting zero-backlash mechanical interference fit will accommodate a high torque, thrust, bending and/or radial loads, and unlike other mounting technologies will never wear or pound out, even for high cycle fluctuating or reversing loads.

When the locking unit’s bolts are tightened, plates engage with both the shaft and the inside circumference of the driven component. The locking assembly distributes the applied pressure evenly. No keyways or grubscrews are required with this device.

We stock a range of Universal Joints in D Type and HD Type – blank bores only. The blank bore allows for any bore diameter up to the recommended maximum.

D-Type – Multi-purpose industrial type, standard pin and block design.

HD-Type – The Heavy Duty model benefits from its strict compliance to engineering detail. The HD type employs hardened yokes and pins to vastly improve the Universal Joints resistance to wear and shock loading. This attention to detail extends the life of the HD type Universal Joint by up to two times in comparison to that of the standard D type.

The chain coupling consists of two sprockets joined together by a standard duplex roller chain. This highly compact structure provides high flexibility between shafts, power transmission capabilities and is durable and robust. Chain couplings allow for easy maintenance and is a simple easy on/easy off process. Our chain couplings are supplied with casings standard.

The curved jaw design has a radial curvature to the jaw face and both radial and axial curvature (crowning) to the spider element. This provides better torsional softness and an angular misalignment capability.

The curved jaw type coupling gives reliable service for light, medium and heavy-duty electrical motor and internal combustion engine power transmission applications. Common applications for curved jaw type couplings include connecting power sources to pumps, gearboxes, compressors, blowers and fans, mixers, conveyors and generator sets.

CBS stocks a range of highly flexible tyre couplings. Consisting of two flanges, the two halves are joined by a rubber tyre. The tyre itself is soft and flexible; this allows the tyre coupling to compensate for large amounts of shock loading and backlash, as well as both parallel and axial misalignment.

Highly Flexible – It compensates for misalignment, up to 4° angular, 6mm parallel, 8mm axial. You can expect torsional flexibility of up to 12°, at maximum torque.

Cone Ring Couplings are based on a time-proven design. The coupling consists of two flanges interlocked with a number of elements, depending on the coupling size.

The Cone Rings Couplings unique flexible element comprises of tapered rubber rings mounted on steel pins. The rubber rings absorb commonly encountered misalignment, shock and vibration.

The Cone Ring Coupling is as popular as ever for its ease of maintenance. No Lubrication is required. The pin and rubber design ensure trouble-free maintenance, as they can be removed and changed without the need to take the coupling off the shafts. The flanges are high-grade cast iron, the pins are hexagonal steel bar and the rings are synthetic rubber.

The Curved Tooth Gear Coupling consists of 2 geared hubs and a curved tooth nylon sleeve.

KCP gear couplings follow the international standards of AGMA and JIS, which easily allows you to replace major industrial products. Our gear couplings compensate angular misalignment, parallel misalignment and end float. The fully crowned hub teeth provide minimum loading stress and ensure longer life.

Rigid couplings are used in situations where shaft alignment is essential. A misaligned coupling can cause damage and downtime. When properly fitted this torsional rigid coupling helps prevent any such events. Our rigid couplings are Taperlock ready and available in a range of sizes to accommodate almost any shaft size. Rigid couplings consist of 2 flanges, available in internal and external entry (H & F). This gives two possible coupling assemblies HF and FF. When connecting horizontal shafts, choose the most convenient method. When connecting vertical shafts use assembly FF only.

You can enjoy the convenience and reduce costs by using KCP Taper Grid Steel Flexible Couplings. Key features include:

We stock soft start and mechanical fluid couplings with capacities up to 1200kW.
