TB Wood’s Taper Grid Resilient Couplings Dr James Bibby originally invented the Resilient Coupling in 1917 and the 1000 Series is the latest level of this well accepted product. This Bibby Transmissions product has become universally accepted where reliable protection against shaft misalignment and vibration is desirable. Since those early days refinements in design and material specifications have kept pace with advancing technology, achieving significant improvements in power/weight ratios. TB Wood’s is proud to offer this proven product.

The tapered grid is made from high tensile alloy steel which is carefully formed to the grid shape before hardening and tempering under controlled conditions. The grid surface is then shot-peened. This process leaves the grid spring with a residually stressed surface layer which is in compression and which impedes the propagation of cracks. Since nearly all fatigue and stress corrosion failures originate at the surface of a part, the layer of compressive stress induced by shot-peening produces a dramatic increase in the working life and fatigue strength of the grid. This technological improvement in manufacturing process coupled with precise monitoring of raw material specification and control of trapezoidal shape, permits TB Wood’s to offer state of the art grid springs of high performance and reliability. The hub is precision manufactured from high quality materials, with the hub tooth profile scientifically designed to permit progressive loading under torsional shock conditions. The combination of tapered grid and precision manufactured hub provides easy assembly. The excellent shock absorption characteristics, and the ability to accommodate misalignment protects the connected equipment. While the coupling is designed for long life under tough conditions, maintenance and taper grid replacement can be performed quickly and easily without the need to move and realign connected equipment. Two cover design options are available in the TB Wood’s range of couplings. Both designs have been carefully engineered to provide a shaft coupling which is highly reliable and easy to install.
