Keyless Rigid Moment Couplings Ensure Connection in Agriculture Conveying Equipment
Leave a Comment
Climax C600-Series Keyless Rigid Moment Couplings provide a superior solution for hydraulic motors and gearboxes over traditional misalignment couplings in agriculture applications.

Combine Harvesters Incorporate Conveyor Belts

When it’s time to harvest mature crop growth, combine harvesters are the most commonly used harvesting equipment by farmers. With an expected annual growth rate of 8.2% through 2030, combine harvesters are equipped with multiple conveyor belts that facilitate the reaping, threshing, and winnowing required during the harvesting process. Traditional methods for mounting hydraulic motors and gearboxes in conveyor applications often incorporate misalignment couplings that require frequent servicing. This potential failure can lead to downtime, negatively impacting production and profitability.

Shaft collars manufactured from T316 stainless steel targets rust contamination issues found in hostile environments where frequent wash-downs are common and costly.

Paddle Mixers Used in Baking Applications

In the Baking Industry and general food processing environments, contamination from metal corrosion is a significant issue that many manufacturers face. In baking applications, the main sources of metal corrosion are the extremely harsh wash down environments, the use of highly corrosive cleaning and sanitation products, and the near-constant humid atmospheres within processing facilities. Equipment manufacturers are consistently tasked with selecting materials for machinery capable of withstanding these conditions. Once rust and corrosion occur, eradicating them from processing facilities becomes a time-consuming and costly process. Carefully designed equipment and utilizing components manufactured from adequately corrosion-resistant materials, contamination can be kept to a minimum.

Climax Keyless Locking Devices offer a superior solution to traditional keyed connections in screeners and vibrating conveyor applications commonly found in recycling facilities.

Conveyors Utilized in Recycling Applications

The recycling industry relies on heavy machinery, such as vibrating conveyors and screeners, to transport and sort materials. These machines require a strong shaft/hub connection capable of handling high torque due to constant motion and vibration. Vibratory machines often use keyed connections, which can reduce shaft strength by up to 30%, making the shaft more vulnerable to torsional and bending stresses. Additionally, when set screws are used to secure components on a shaft, marring can occur. The small oscillatory movements and vibrations make these machines susceptible to keyway fretting, causing gradual erosion over time.
