What are the important factors to consider when choosing a high-quality plum coupling?
With the rapid development of world science and technology, the coupling manufacturing industry is no exception. The production technology of plum-shaped elastic couplings is at a relatively advanced stage, but there are also some old small manufacturers who use the reasons that customers do not understand the technical industry to take the old and obsolete products to the next level, because the technology is not up to the leading level. The quality and performance of the produced plum coupling is not high, and cannot meet the requirements of national standards.

Material analysis of plum coupling production and manufacturing:
Plum blossom coupling is also called claw coupling or plum blossom elastic coupling. We all know that it is composed of two metal claw discs and an elastic body. The main materials of the plum coupling are mainly: 45 steel, 40CrMo, stainless steel, cast steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, etc. The actual use is mostly steel 45, and the ML type plum coupling is widely used in the model. However, aluminum alloys are also useful when load sensitivity is required.
The elastic element of the plum blossom coupling is similar to the plum blossom shape, also known as the plum blossom elastic cushion (commonly known as the cushion). There are three main materials, rubber, polyurethane, and nylon. Polyurethane materials are often used. When replacing elastic elements, we need to move the two halves of the metal claws axially (except for LMD and LMS models). Plum petals mainly have four petals, six petals, eight petals, ten petals and twelve petals. MT1: four petals, MT2-MT7 six petals, MT8-MT9: eight petals, MT10-MT12: ten petals, MT13-MT14: twelve petals, etc.

Five key elements for purchasing high-quality plum couplings:
1. Requirement on cushioning performance and shock absorption performance, torque size and characteristic factors to be transmitted.
2. Rotation speed and centrifugal force caused by plum blossom coupling during operation:
If it is used for high-speed transmission shafts, consider the size of the rotational speed and the centrifugal force caused by the plum blossom coupling during operation. At this time, you should prefer a plum blossom coupling with a high degree of balance.
3. The magnitude and direction factors of the relative displacement of the two axes:
When the plum blossom coupling is installed and debugged, it is always unable to maintain the strict alignment of the two shafts, or the two shafts have a large additional relative displacement during operation. At this time, we have to consider the size and direction of the relative displacement of the two shafts, and we should choose a flexible coupling.
4. Operating environment and stability factors of plum coupling:
Plum blossom couplings that are generally made of metal elements (aluminum alloy) without lubrication are safer and more reliable to use. If you choose a plum blossom coupling to be lubricated, its characteristics will be affected by the degree of lubrication, and it is easy to pollute the surrounding environment.
5. Consider the manufacturing, installation, maintenance and cost factors of the plum coupling:
Under the prerequisite of meeting the performance indicators, a plum blossom coupling that is convenient for assembly and disassembly, simple for maintenance, and low cost should be selected.
