Grid couplings (also known as spring grid couplings) are highly durable flexible couplings designed for heavy-duty power transmission. They are widely used in industries requiring high torque capacity, misalignment tolerance, and vibration damping.
Mining & Cement Industry: Used in ball mills, crushers, and conveyor drives due to high shock load resistance.
Steel & Metal Processing: Ideal for rolling mills and continuous casting machines (handles torque up to 500,000 Nm).
Wind Turbines: Compensates for shaft misalignment caused by tower flexing.
Gas Turbines: Absorbs vibration in high-speed power transmission (up to 10,000 RPM).
Propulsion Systems: DNV-GL certified versions resist saltwater corrosion.
Pump Drives: Handles angular misalignment (±1.5°) in confined engine rooms.
Paper Mills: Withstands wet conditions and sudden load changes.
Pump & Compressor Systems: Reduces downtime with maintenance-free operation.

Grid couplings are the optimal choice for industries needing high torque, misalignment tolerance, and minimal maintenance. Their robust design ensures reliability in:
- Mining & Cement
- Energy & Marine
- Heavy Manufacturing
Metal grid spring design transmits higher torque than gear couplings of similar size.
Example: Replaces gear couplings in crushers, increasing service life by 40%.
Type | Allowable Range |
---|---|
Radial | ±1.2 mm |
Angular | ±1.5° |
Axial | ±3 mm |
Elastic grid absorbs 70% more vibration than rigid couplings.
Critical for protecting bearings in pumps and compressors.
No lubrication needed (unlike gear couplings).
Sintered metal grids last 8-10 years in harsh environments.
Grid springs act as a mechanical fuse, breaking at 200-250% overload to protect machinery.
Split-hub design allows quick replacement without moving equipment.
No alignment tools required during installation.
