Power Transmission Component Types & Their Applications
Belts & Pulleys
- Belts transfer motion and torque between shafts with minimal noise and vibration
- Pulleys are designed to guide, tension, and optimise belt-driven systems
- Applications: Used in conveyors, HVAC systems, machine tools, and compressors for smooth, flexible power transmission
Chains & Sprockets
- Roller chains provide high-strength, direct mechanical drive with minimal slip
- Sprockets ensure accurate chain engagement and power transfer
- Applications: Common in agricultural equipment, packaging lines, conveyors, and industrial machinery requiring robust and reliable torque delivery
Couplings
- Connect two rotating shafts while accommodating misalignment or shock loads
- Available in flexible, rigid, jaw, gear, and elastomeric types to suit various systems
- Applications: Ideal for pumps, fans, gearboxes, and motor-driven equipment across heavy industry and automation sectors
Taper Bushes
- Provide a secure, interference-fit mounting method for pulleys, sprockets, and couplings
- Easy to install and remove, with options available in a wide range of bore sizes and keyways
- Applications: Used in conveyors, crushing equipment, fans, and agricultural machinery for stable, vibration-resistant shaft connection
