Tanso JS series high torque taper grid coupling/grooved coupling/spring coupling

Tanso is pleased to be able to provide quality grid couplings covering a large number of industry standard sizes and lengths. The Tanso grid style coupling has proven itself in performance and popularity over a wide range of applications.

Tanso’s grid style coupling design has demonstrated its ability to dampen vibration by as much as 30% and can cushion shock loads that could cause damage to both the driving and driven equipment. The tapered grid spring design absorbs impact energy by spreading the energy out over the full length of the grid spring thus reducing the magnitude of the torque spikes.

The Tanso design uses a curved hub tooth profile which creates a progressive contact with the flexible grid spring as the application torque increases. This feature provides a more effective and efficient transmission of power in properly aligned couplings.

Tanso’s versatile design of industry standard hubs and grid springs for both horizontal and vertical cover styles allow Tanso couplings to be interchangeable with other industry standard grid couplings and components.

Proper grid coupling installation and maintenance can add to a longer coupling life. Grid spring replacement is simple and can be performed at a fraction of the cost and time of a complete coupling.

A grid coupling is composed of two shaft hubs, a metallic grid spring, and a split cover kit. Torque is transmitted between the two coupling shaft hubs through the metallic grid spring element.

Like metallic gear and disc couplings, grid couplings have a high torque density. A benefit of grid couplings, over either gear or disc couplings, is the ability their grid coupling spring elements have to absorb and spread peak load impact energy over time. This reduces the magnitude of peak loads and offers some vibration dampening capability. A negative of the grid coupling design is that it generally is very limited in its ability to accommodate misalignment.
