Baldor / Dodge 008035 elastomeric coupling connects two rotating shafts in machinery while allowing for some degree of parallel misalignment. It is widely used in pumps, compressors, conveyors and power transmission systems.
Features:
- Baldor / Dodge 008035 elastomeric coupling has a non-lubricated design that requires no periodic maintenance, ensuring trouble-free operation.
- Its flanges use standard Taper-Lock bushings for easy installation and removal.
- This POLY-DISC coupling's disc is resistant to most common chemicals, such as acids, alkalis and petroleum products.
- Its disc spacer buttons accelerate installation by automatically setting the proper flange spacing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Can this elastomeric coupling handle shocks or vibrations?
A. Yes, it can absorb shock loads and dampen torsional vibrations to protect connected machinery from damage and reduce the risk of premature failure.
Q. What is the torque rating of this coupling?
A. It has a torque rating of 6300 lb-inch.
Q. How do I install an elastomeric coupling?
A.
- Simply align the shafts and slide the coupling onto the shafts.
- Then secure the coupling hubs in place with appropriate fasteners.
Q. What precautions should I take when operating machinery with elastomeric couplings?
A. Monitor operating conditions, such as temperature, vibration levels and torque loads to ensure they remain within the coupling's specified limits. Avoid overloading the coupling or subjecting it to excessive shock or torsional forces, which can lead to premature failure.
