Typical case of diaphragm coupling applied to variable frequency speed control equipment
JMB type coupling is applied to HangZhou Oilfield Thermal Power Plant
According to the requirements of HangZhou Electric Power Corporation, HangZhou Oilfield Thermal Power Plant should dynamically adjust the power generation according to the load of the power grid and market demand, and carry out the transformation of the frequency converter and the suction fan. The motor was originally a 1600KW, 730RPM non-frequency variable speed motor matched by HangZhou Motor Factory. The speed control mode after changing the frequency is manual control. Press the button speed to increase 10RPM or drop 10RPM. The coupling is still the original elastic decoupling coupling, and the elastic de-coupling coupling after frequency conversion is frequently damaged, which directly affects the normal power generation.
It is found through analysis that in the process of frequency conversion speed regulation, the pin of the coupling can not bear the inertia of the speed regulation process (the diameter of the fan impeller is 3.3 meters) and is cut off, which has great damage to the motor and the fan.
Later, they switched to the JMB460 double-diaphragm wheel-type coupling of our factory (patent number: ZL.99246247.9). After 1 hour of destructive experiment and more than 1 year of operation test, the equipment is running very well, and there is no Replace the diaphragm. 12 units have been rebuilt and the operation is in good condition.

Typical Applications of Oldham Couplings
Oldham couplings find various applications in different industries due to their unique features and benefits. Some typical applications include:
1. Industrial Machinery: Oldham couplings are commonly used in industrial machinery, such as conveyor systems, packaging machines, and assembly lines. They help transmit torque between shafts while accommodating misalignment, reducing vibration, and protecting sensitive components.
2. Robotics and Automation: Oldham couplings are employed in robotics and automation systems to connect motor shafts and other mechanical components. Their ability to handle misalignment and their compact design make them suitable for precision movements and robotic applications.
3. Printing and Labeling: In printing and labeling machines, Oldham couplings are utilized to connect rollers and drive shafts. They ensure accurate and reliable torque transmission while allowing for angular misalignment that may occur during operation.
4. Medical Equipment: Oldham couplings are used in medical equipment, such as imaging devices and surgical instruments. Their low backlash and smooth operation are crucial for precise positioning and reducing wear on sensitive medical components.
5. Automotive Industry: In automotive applications, Oldham couplings are used in various systems, including windshield wipers, power seat adjustments, and steering mechanisms. They aid in transferring torque smoothly and maintaining alignment even in dynamic conditions.
6. Textile Machinery: Textile manufacturing equipment often incorporates Oldham couplings to connect spindles and other rotating components. These couplings allow for misalignment while delivering reliable power transmission in high-speed textile processes.
7. Food and Beverage Processing: Oldham couplings are suitable for food and beverage processing machinery, where hygiene and precision are critical. They help connect drive shafts in mixers, conveyors, and packaging equipment.
8. Aerospace and Defense: In aerospace and defense applications, Oldham couplings are used in systems that require reliable torque transmission while compensating for misalignment and vibration. They can be found in various aircraft and defense equipment.
These are just a few examples of the many applications where Oldham couplings play a vital role in ensuring smooth and efficient power transmission and minimizing the wear and tear of mechanical systems.
Differences Between Oldham Couplings and Other Types of Flexible Couplings
Oldham couplings are a type of flexible coupling used in mechanical systems to transmit torque between two shafts. Here are some key differences between Oldham couplings and other types of flexible couplings:
- Mechanism of Torque Transmission: Oldham couplings use a sliding motion between the center disc and the hubs to transmit torque. The center disc has slots that engage with pins on the hubs, allowing for torque transmission while accommodating misalignment. In contrast, other flexible couplings, such as jaw couplings or beam couplings, typically use elastic materials or flexible elements like rubber or springs to transmit torque.
- Misalignment Compensation: Oldham couplings are specifically designed to handle angular misalignment between shafts. They can accommodate parallel misalignment to a limited extent but are not well-suited for axial misalignment. Other flexible couplings like beam couplings or bellows couplings may offer more comprehensive misalignment compensation, including axial misalignment.
- Backlash: Oldham couplings have a small amount of backlash due to the clearance between the center disc and the hubs. This backlash can be beneficial in some applications to reduce shock loads and vibrations. However, other flexible couplings like beam couplings or jaw couplings may have minimal or zero backlash.
- Construction and Materials: Oldham couplings are typically made of materials like aluminum for the hubs and center disc, and acetal or other plastics for the center disc’s sliding parts. Other flexible couplings come in various materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, elastomers, and composite materials, depending on the application’s requirements.
- Operating Speed: Oldham couplings are suitable for moderate to high rotational speeds, but their speed limitations depend on the material and design. Some other flexible couplings, such as bellows couplings, can handle even higher speeds due to their construction.
- Applications: Oldham couplings are commonly used in applications that require moderate torque transmission and angular misalignment compensation, such as pumps, packaging machines, and automation equipment. Other flexible couplings are used in a wide range of applications, including motion control systems, robotics, aerospace, and automotive industries, where specific coupling characteristics are needed.
Choosing the right flexible coupling depends on the specific requirements of the application, including torque, misalignment, speed, space constraints, and environmental conditions. Engineers and designers should carefully consider these factors to select the most appropriate coupling for their mechanical system.
Transmission of Torque in Oldham Couplings
An Oldham coupling is designed to transmit torque between two shafts that are misaligned but parallel to each other. It consists of three components: two hubs (also known as drive hubs) and a center disc. The hubs are connected to their respective shafts, while the center disc sits between them.
The center disc of the Oldham coupling is characterized by slots or keyways on its opposite sides, which engage with the hubs. The slots allow the center disc to slide or float within the hubs while maintaining a constant angular velocity between the shafts.
When torque is applied to the drive hub on one side, it induces a rotational force on the center disc. This rotational force is then transferred to the other drive hub, which results in torque transmission to the second shaft. The center disc acts as an intermediary between the two hubs, compensating for any axial or radial misalignment between the shafts.
Regarding the question of different shaft diameters, the Oldham coupling can accommodate shafts with different diameters as long as the hub design allows for a secure connection. The keyways or slots in the center disc and hubs should be compatible with the shaft dimensions to ensure proper torque transmission and to prevent slippage or damage.
It is essential to select the appropriate size and design of the Oldham coupling to match the shaft diameters and to ensure reliable torque transmission while accommodating any misalignment between the shafts.
