Couplings
Fenner Curved Tooth Flexible Gear Couplings are the result
of many years of experience in the field of Mechanical Power
Transmission.

These Gear Couplings are distinguished by their mechanical

flexibility and compensation of Angular, Parallel and Axial
misalignments of the connected shafts. They are made for
extensive use in Metal Rolling Mills, Paper Machinery, Cranes,
Dredgers, Rubber and Plastic Industries, Cement Plants, Conveyors
and Elevators, Compressors, Fans and Blowers, Screens and other
general industries.

MISALIGNMENT :

The crowning of the teeth allows the coupling to

withstand parallel misalignment upto a maximum of
10.25 mm and angular misalignment upto a maximum
of 1.5O per gear mesh. The coupling can also absorb
axial displacement of the shafts upto a maximum of
3 mm. Parallel Angular

Note: Custom built Gear Spacer Couplings

and Torsion Shaft Gear Couplings are also
manufactured & supplied as per
requirements. Please contact Fenner with
all details.
