Special Screws for Lamellar Couplings
Precision and Strength for Industrial Applications
Lamellar couplings are essential components in power transmission systems, used in critical industrial sectors such as petrochemicals, paper mills, naval engineering, cement plants, energy and mining.
The Challenges of Lamellar Couplings and the Importance of Fastening
The primary function of lamellar couplings is to ensure perfect alignment between connected elements, minimizing torsional stress and vibrations during operation. However, to maintain reliable performance over time, lamellar couplings require extremely precise fastening, capable of withstanding high loads and continuous stresses.
A crucial aspect is the initial alignment of the coupling: if centesimal precision is not ensured during installation, operational stresses can compromise the system integrity, leading to premature wear or failures.
For this reason, the choice of screws and fastening systems plays a decisive role in the durability and reliability of transmissions.
Characteristics of Screws for Lamellar Couplings
To meet the precision and strength requirements of lamellar couplings, EFS provides custom-designed special screws, engineered to ensure secure and durable fastening.
In this article, we present a special screw designed for one of our customers who manufactures lamellar couplings. This screw features the following specifications:
