Series H Gear Couplings The Series H Advantages: Higher Misalignment Capability Sizes 1-7 compensate for up to 1 1/2 static angular misalignment per gear mesh. Minimizing operating misalignment will maximize the life of the coupling. Refer to the Installation and Alignment Instructions for alignment recommendations.

2 Larger Bore Capabilities allow the most economical size selection for shafts up to 10 5/8". Higher Torque Ratings due to larger tooth pitch diameters than other Couplings . Versatility in that Series H's are interchangeable by half coupling with competitive coupling designs. 1 1/2 Curved-Face Teeth are a prime feature of the Series H coupling, sizes 1-7. The crowned hub teeth are a 20 full- depth involute tooth form with flank, tip, and root curvature. Crowned Tooth Sizes 1 - 7. When used with the straight faced sleeve teeth, these 1 1/2 . curved face hubs offer increased shaft misalignment capability. Center Flange Bolting: All Couplings feature precision-drilled flange bolt holes, and tight tolerance Grade 5 flange bolts to assure a long-lasting flange to flange and fastener fit. Exposed bolt flanges are standard. Shrouded bolt flanges can be supplied through size 5. Size #5 1/2 and larger Couplings are only available with exposed bolt flanges.

3 Lubrication: Each sleeve flange is supplied with two pipe plugs 180 apart. This permits assembly of a full flex coupling with four lube plugs positioned every 90 , facilitating lubrication. The lube seal is a Buna-N O-ring to help retain grease and exclude contaminants. KHP or KSG coupling greases are recommended in order to obtain maximum operating life. Coupling Greases KOP-FLEX offers greases specifically designed for use in coupling applications. For proper lubrication and long service life, use KSG. Standard Coupling Grease, or KHP High Performance Coupling Grease. See pages 204-206 for detailed specifications. 160. Series H Gear Couplings Series H Couplings of Size 8 to 30 are designed for 1/2 . misalignment per flex half coupling, to compensate for misalignment between the shafts in a full-flex coupling. Series H Couplings can be supplied in full-flex, flex-rigid, floating shaft and spacer arrangements as well as custom designs.

4 Only exposed bolt flanges are available in sizes 8 to 30. Straight Tooth Sizes 8 - 30. The straight-faced, involute stub tooth form is used in the Series H coupling, sizes 8 to 30. This tooth form distributes contact pressures across the full length of the hub tooth, to best develop the needed lubricating film, minimizing tooth wear and extending coupling service life for years of operation. The End Rings are removable for ease of assembly and to allow inspection of the gear sets. A Buna-N O-ring seal is incorporated to help exclude contaminants and retain the lubricant. Designed for grease lubrication, our KSG or KHP. coupling greases are recommended to obtain maximum operating life. HOW TO ORDER. PART NUMBER EXPLANATION.
