PROCON 1143 Pump Coupling, Standard

Procon 1143 coupling connects the pump and motor shafts and gets worn out in case of misalignment to protect the pump. It is useful in vacuum systems, gasoline pumps, HVAC and packaging applications.

Features:

• Procon 1143 coupling features bronze construction for corrosion resistance and high machinability.
• It is intended to be mounted onto two identical double flat shafts.
• This coupling can be used with pumps having a 5/8-inch shaft diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Are there any safety precautions to consider when working with couplings?

A. Yes, when installing or maintaining couplings, avoid placing hands or other body parts near rotating machinery. Properly lock out and tag out the equipment during maintenance to prevent accidental start-ups.

Q. What are the benefits of using flexible couplings?

A. Flexible couplings can absorb misalignment, dampen vibrations and protect connected equipment from shock loads. They also provide some degree of torsional flexibility, reducing wear and tear on the machinery.

Q. How do I choose the right coupling for my application?

A. Choosing the right coupling involves considering factors, such as the type of machinery, the torque and speed requirements, alignment tolerances, the operating environment and presence of any vibrations or misalignments.

Q. How do I keep couplings in good condition?

A. Regular maintenance includes inspecting couplings for signs of wear, lubricating them and checking for any misalignment or damage.
