A Drum Gear Coupling is a high-performance, flexible coupling designed to transmit torque between two shafts while accommodating misalignment, reducing vibration, and absorbing shock loads. It consists of two gear hubs with external teeth and a drum-shaped sleeve with internal teeth, creating a robust and durable connection.

Key Features:

High Torque Capacity – Designed to handle heavy loads, making it suitable for industrial applications such as steel mills, mining, and power generation.

Misalignment Compensation – Accommodates angular, parallel, and axial misalignment, ensuring smooth power transmission even under slight shaft displacements.

Durable Construction – Made from high-strength alloy steel with hardened teeth for extended service life.

Maintenance-Friendly – Some designs allow for easy lubrication, reducing wear and prolonging operational efficiency.

Vibration Damping – Helps minimize vibrations and noise, protecting connected machinery from excessive stress.

Compact & Lightweight – The drum-shaped sleeve offers a good balance between strength and weight, making it efficient for high-speed applications.

Applications:

Heavy machinery (rolling mills, crushers, compressors)

Marine propulsion systems

Power plants and turbines

Paper and cement industries

Advantages Over Other Couplings:

Greater torque density compared to standard gear couplings.

Improved misalignment capability due to the drum-shaped sleeve design.

Enhanced durability in harsh operating conditions.
