Extend the life of your machinery.
From selection to failure analysis, Acorn Industrial Services provides a full suite of coupling services to optimise power transmission, reduce vibration, and extend the life of your machinery.
Calculating the appropriate coupling for a specific application involves several key factors, including torque, speed, misalignment, and environmental conditions.
Cross-referencing couplings involves comparing different coupling models from various manufacturers to find equivalent or compatible products.
This can be useful when looking for replacements, alternatives, or when trying to match a specific coupling to a particular application.
Determine the key specifications of the existing coupling, such as:
Installing a coupling correctly is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the machinery.
We can help with preparation, alignment, mounting, gap & axial spacing, securing the coupling, final alignment check, lubricating (if applicable) and inspection & testing, all critical factors when fitting a coupling.
Modifying a coupling can be necessary to fit specific applications or to address unique operational requirements.
However, it is important to approach coupling modifications with caution, as improper modifications can lead to equipment failure, safety hazards, and voided warranties.
Coupling failure can lead to significant downtime and damage to machinery, so it's important to understand the common causes and perform a thorough failure analysis to prevent recurrence.
