FEATURE
The wire drum coupling can transfer a very large radial load and rotational torque to use appropriate at the crane
and conveyor systems especially. Here is the feature of the wire drum coupling.
1. The two figures are shown below the arrangement of twin-drum drives for a crane unit. By installing wire drum
coupling, the bending moments of Fig.2 only account for 24% compared to Fig 1 which is the rigid connection
of twin drum drives.
2. Angular misalignment can be allowed up to ±1.5°.
3. It is not suitable for the absorption and transmission of axial forces, but it can allow ±3mm~±8mm of axial
displacements in operation.
4. Sliding movement in the gearing is kept to a minimum using the cylindrical tooths and crown rollers for
compensation of angular misalignment. The wear intensifying relative movement between hub and sleeve is
reduced by the natural movement of the drum itself.
