Other Details

Shear pin gear couplings are primarily used to limit transmitted torque to a predetermined load. These gear couplings are especially designed to protect equipment when jams occur. The components are re-usable after pins shear. Our precision engineered couplings will retain lubricant for a short period to allow equipment to be shut down. We can also offer custom made shear pin gear couplings based on the specifications provided by the clients.
Features:

    Enables smooth start of the motor
    Motor starts on NO load thus reducing initial increase in current and power consumption
    It avoids jerks to the machine thus increasing life by reducing wear and tear
    Easy to install and replace
    Requires minimum maintenance
