SWC Universal Couplings are high-precision mechanical components designed to transmit torque between two shafts that are not collinear. They are widely used in various industrial applications due to their ability to accommodate angular misalignment, parallel offset, and axial movement. These couplings ensure smooth operation, reduce vibration, and enhance the longevity of machinery. Made from robust materials like alloy steel, SWC Universal Couplings offer reliability and durability in demanding environments such as steel mills, paper machines, and marine propulsion systems.
Below are the detailed specifications for our standard SWC Universal Coupling models. These parameters help in selecting the right coupling for your application based on torque, speed, and misalignment tolerances.
| Model | Nominal Torque (Nm) | Max Speed (rpm) | Angular Misalignment (°) | Parallel Misalignment (mm) | Axial Movement (mm) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SWC-100 | 100 | 5000 | ±15 | 0.5 | ±2 | 1.2 |
| SWC-200 | 200 | 4500 | ±15 | 0.8 | ±3 | 2.5 |
| SWC-350 | 350 | 4000 | ±10 | 1.0 | ±4 | 4.0 |
| SWC-500 | 500 | 3500 | ±10 | 1.2 | ±5 | 6.5 |
| SWC-750 | 750 | 3000 | ±8 | 1.5 | ±6 | 9.0 |
| SWC-1000 | 1000 | 2500 | ±8 | 2.0 | ±8 | 12.0 |
SWC Universal Couplings are manufactured using high-quality materials to ensure performance and longevity. The main components include:
These couplings are versatile and find use in numerous industries:
What is the maximum angular misalignment SWC couplings can handle?
SWC Universal Couplings can handle up to ±15 degrees of angular misalignment for smaller models, while larger models typically accommodate up to ±8 degrees. Always refer to the specific product datasheet for exact values based on torque and speed.
How do I select the right SWC coupling for my application?
Consider factors such as required torque, operating speed, type of misalignment (angular, parallel, axial), environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity), and space constraints. Use the torque and speed ratings from our parameter table above, and consult with our engineering team for custom needs.
Are SWC couplings suitable for high-speed applications?
Yes, SWC couplings are designed for high-speed operations, with some models supporting speeds up to 5000 rpm. However, always ensure that the selected model's maximum speed rating exceeds your application's requirements to avoid imbalance issues.
What maintenance is required for SWC Universal Couplings?
These couplings are low-maintenance. For standard models, periodic lubrication may be needed every 6-12 months depending on usage. Self-lubricating versions require minimal attention. Regularly inspect for wear, misalignment, and seal integrity to prevent failures.
Can SWC couplings be used in corrosive environments?
Yes, we offer models with stainless steel components and special coatings (e.g., zinc plating or epoxy paint) for corrosion resistance. Specify your environmental conditions when ordering to ensure the right material selection.
What is the typical lifespan of an SWC Universal Coupling?
With proper installation and maintenance, SWC couplings can last for many years, often exceeding 10,000 hours of operation. Lifespan depends on factors like load, speed, misalignment, and environmental conditions.
Do you provide custom-sized SWC couplings?
Absolutely. We offer customization for dimensions, materials, and performance characteristics to meet unique application requirements. Contact our sales team with your specifications for a tailored solution.
How do I install an SWC Universal Coupling correctly?
Ensure shafts are clean and aligned within specified tolerances. Use appropriate tools to tighten bolts to the recommended torque values. Avoid over-misalignment during installation, and follow the step-by-step guide provided in the product manual for best results.
