Positive protection against the damaging
effects of shock loads, impact loads and
vibration.
The Series 2000 is torsionally flexible.
The circumferential flexibility is progressive
due to the curved profile of the grooves -
‘state-of-the-art’ in resilient coupling
design.
Accommodating Shaft Misalignment
and End-Float
The Series 2000 will accommodate
combinations of misalignments present at
set-up or occurring during machine
displacement, settlement etc.
Effectiveness of Torsional Damping
As the Series 2000 coupling transmits
torque, the flexing of the tapered grid
spring de-tunes vibrations and cushions
shock loads.
This unique charecteristic is due to the
torsional flexibility of the coupling being proportionate to the unsuppotred
length
of each flexible grid rung. since this
varies with every variation of torque, a
which continuously alters the natural
frequency of the system and prevents a
build-up of resonance in the system. The
resultant reduction in peak loading
protects and extends the life of the
transmission equipment.
Versatile Design
Both 2000H and 2000V couplings feature
identical hubs and grid springs, the
different cover styles endowing the units
with great versatility - one is horizontally
split, the other is vertically split.
All coupling components are designed to
be interchangeable with other taper grid
couplings.
The stock coupling can be used vertically
or horizontally without modification.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
The grid springs are easily installed by
hand or with a soft mallet. The cover
fasteners can be tightened with standard
wrenches. Every Bibby Transmissions’
Series 2000 coupling is delivered with
detailed installation instructions.
Periodic lubrication of the coupling is
required and each cover half is supplied
with standard plugs which can be easily
removed for re-lubrication. Extended
lubrication periods and enhanced
coupling life can be achieved by using
high performance lubricants referred to
in the maintenance instructions.
