In heavy-duty industrial environments, couplings are exposed to extreme torque, shock loads, vibration, misalignment, and harsh operating conditions. Whether used in steel plants, cement industries, mining operations, or power generation units, coupling failure can lead to costly downtime and production losses. Increasing coupling life is not just about selecting a strong product — it requires proper selection, installation, and maintenance. Here’s a complete guide to extending coupling life in heavy-duty applications. 1. Select the Right Type of Coupling The first step to increasing coupling life is choosing the correct coupling type for your application. Heavy-duty systems often require couplings capable of handling high torque and shock loads. For example: Gear couplings are ideal for high torque and misalignment tolerance. Grid couplings absorb shock loads effectively. Tyre couplings provide flexibility and vibration damping. At DEAE , couplings are engineered based...
