Slide Disc CouplingsCoupling Comments

Typical Applications:•Paper Mill Roll Drives – the variable length feature compensates for different shaft separations. Typically,paper mills will have several couplings of the same size, but slightly different shaft separations. One KD
® Slide coupling covers several different shaft separations – eliminating the need for multiple spares . •Pulp Refiners – replaces slide gear couplingsused to compensate for changing shaft separation as the refiner wears.•Polymer Pelletizer – the design shown replaceda slide gear coupling used to compensate for changing shaft separation as the pelletizerblades wear.•Fan Application (in tunnels) – shown here, acombination MAX-C
® resilient coupling and KD
® Disc Coupling with a spline section is used tocompensate for changes in shaft separationdue to thermal growth.•Test Stand Application – shown is a special KD
® coupling designed for a high speed test standto accommodate tests of different equipment, requiring different shaft separations. This is merely a sampling of the different types of applications where disc couplings are being adapted to meet the slide requirements once thought to be addressed solely by gear couplings.
