Flexible Drive Coupling \u00b7 Steel, Mining & Marine Industries<\/p>\n
Transmit high torque across misaligned shafts. Forged alloy steel construction. 58 mm to 550 mm diameter. Angular misalignment up to 25\u00b0. Preferred by UK drive-line engineers in steel processing, power generation, offshore marine and heavy quarrying.<\/p>\n
The SWC-BH standard flex welding type universal joint coupling is a Cardan-principle shaft coupling designed specifically for industrial drive lines where angular misalignment, axial shaft movement, and shock torque loading all occur simultaneously \u2014 conditions that defeat simpler coupling designs within months. The coupling’s welded yoke configuration permanently joins each yoke body to the drive shaft tube rather than relying on a bolted flange interface, producing a homogeneous load path that distributes stress evenly across the weld zone rather than concentrating it at bolt holes. This seemingly small construction difference has a pronounced effect on fatigue life in applications such as rolling mill drives, crusher main shafts, and propulsion trains where torque reversal and vibration are continuous.<\/p>\n
The range spans 21 model sizes from the SWC58BH \u2014 at 58 mm gyration diameter and 0.15 kN\u00b7m nominal torque \u2014 through to the SWC550BH at 550 mm diameter and 710 kN\u00b7m. Mid-range models such as the SWC160BH to SWC315BH cover the majority of industrial gearbox output and pump drive applications encountered by UK engineers, while the upper sizes supply the torque density demanded by steel mill roughing stands and large marine propulsion systems. Every size in the series incorporates a telescoping spline section providing controlled axial float, allowing shaft thermal growth and end-play to be absorbed without loading adjacent bearings. The entire series is available in standard catalogue dimensions, with custom bore geometry, shaft tube diameter modifications, and non-standard flange configurations offered as a routine manufacturing service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
