Falk C r o w n e d Tooth G e a r Couplings Cut A p p l i c a t i o n Costs

Savings averaging 15-20 percent on a project basis are claimed for selecting Falk's 1000G crowned tooth gear couplings compared with smaller-bore designs. According to The Falk Corporation, the 1000G series has the largest bore on the market, permitting the same size coupling to be used on a larger shaft or a same size shaft.

The coupling also features Falk Long Term Grease (LTG), which eliminates routine lubrication cycles for up to three years. Location of the lubrication hole in the sleeve assures that an adequate grease reservoir will be maintained close to the gear mesh.

Falk's 1000G couplings are also half-for-half interchangeable with all standard gear couplings, and replacement half couplings are reported to provide additional hub strength and lower gear mesh loads.

Grade 8 fasteners are used for added strength, while Prevailing Torque Locknuts (PTL) eliminate the need for lockwashers. Nonturning locknuts permit installation with only one wrench. Exposed bolt design is furnished as standard. Shrouded bolt design is available for sizes 1010 through 1055 when specified.

Available in coupling sizes, the 1000G series offers maximum bore capacities from 1.875 to 10.000.

The Falk Corporation, a subsidiary of Sundstrand Corporation, is a leading manufacturer of standard and custom design gear drives and flexible couplings.
