Ameridrives Couplings products

Amerigear®.., the first, the finest... flexible coupling with Fully-Crowned Gear Teeth. In contrast with ordinary gear tooth forms, the Amerigear Fully-Crowned Tooth represents the ultimate achievement in the art of gear tooth design, wherein all three working portions of the tooth are crowned. As a result, the teeth act much like a rocking chair, capable of sliding freely in the axial direction without digging or gouging the internal mating teeth. Because of this design advantage, Amerigear Flexible Couplings with Fully-Crowned Gear Teeth offer operational benefits of maximum load-carrying capacity with minimum size, maximum reliability and long life.

Amerigear Class I High Performance Gear couplings with fully crowned gear teeth are designed for higher torque, higher speed, and higher misalignment to accommodate the increased performance demands of modern, rotating equipment. Standard and custom designs are manufactured to precision tolerances to meet weight, size, temperature, speed and misalignment requirements. Higher torque, higher speed, and higher misalignment requirements; this is the trend in rotating mechanical equipment.

Amerigear Gear Couplings Metal Labyrinth seal are no longer available for sale. We recommend selecting our Kop-Flex FAST'S gear coupling. The all-metal end ring, used exclusively in FAST'S® couplings, eliminates the need for any type of perishable lube seal. The end ring not only provides an escape route for lubricant, but it also pilots the sleeve during start-up and shut-down operations. It further eliminates partial tooth disengagement with resulting tooth overloads by providing sleeve teeth. The sleeve teeth are flush against the inside wall of the end ring. It is the only coupling designed to use oil lubrication. To be sure that your couplings provide maximum life, always specify FAST'S couplings, with the all-metal end ring.

SM Series spindles are custom-designed and used primarily on rolling mill drives ranging from heavy duty, hot reversing roughers to high speed cold mills. The spindles used on these drives are often limited by the minimum roll size,and they must handle high continuous loads. These spindles must also accommodate high misalignment angles due to the constant change in material thickness, roll size, and roll change requirements. Advanced Gear Design enables Ameridrives to optimize mill spindles for the specific operating conditions. The high angle, largely loaded steel mills benefit with less maintenance, lower cost, increased productivity and minimal failures.

Since its introduction in 1971, the Ameriflex multiple convoluted diaphragm coupling has continued to set new standards for life and reliability in high performance machinery applications. Today, by using the latest design and manufacturing technology, Ameridrives Couplings is able to offer increased diaphragm coupling performance without compromising this outstanding reliability. Advanced analysis and manufacturing processes have produced increased ratings without reducing safety factors. The use of the latest finite element analysis methods verified by strain gage and dynamic testing has allowed for a more precise calculation of the Ameriflex diaphragm stresses.

Torsi-Lock provides the ease of a slip fit with the power of a shrink fit. Ameridrives Couplings has responded to industry demand for a cold-install hub that provides the secure torque transmission and balance repeatability of an interference fit. We’ve combined our Ameriloc shaft locking devices with Torsiflex-i to provide a pre-engineered solution that meets the balance requirements of API 610.

Two leading international flexible coupling manufacturers, Ameridrives® International and Bibby Turboflex introduce a new series of high performance disc couplings designed to meet the stringent requirements of today’s turbomachinery market. The Turboflex Plus combines the proven Turboflex and Ameridisc disc couplings together with the experience of the Ameriflex diaphragm producing a coupling as ideally suited to sensitive high speed turbocompressors as it is to low speed load couplings whilst offering an economical solution and being fully compliant API-671/ISO10441 for critical oil and gas, energy, and petrochemical applications. Altra Couplings are selected where quality and reliability are essential to the operation of a plant.

SL Series (Leveler type) and SF Series (Flange type) spindles are designed for medium torque mill applications and auxiliary equipment where high misalignment capacity is required and where equipment must be disconnected quickly and/or frequently. Some of the advanced design technology incorporated into more expensive type spindles are made available in these series. Typical applications include drives for auxiliary equipment such as levelers, uncoilers, side trimmers, tension, runout tables, pinch rolls, brush rolls, bridles, flatteners, and scale breakers. SL Spindles can also be used on applications where shaft center-to-center spacing is minimal and where diameters are limited.
