Corrosion-resistant couplings for chemical-transfer pumps
The stainless-steel ASK Couplings (photo) feature a unique “sliced” body structure, making them an effective low-cost, corrosion-resistant solution that can accommodate many types of misalignment commonly found in chemical-transfer pumps. The one-piece ASK Coupling design compensates all types of system misalignment in a shaft-to-shaft connection. The sliced design handles high rotation speeds in the high temperature ranges experienced in chemical processing systems. The coupling’s aerodynamic profile decreases noise while optimizing performance at high speeds. ASK couplings are easily configurable to accommodate a wide range of DBSE (distance between shaft ends). Bores can be arranged with clamp, split-collar or keyed styles for specific application requirements. — Miki Pulley, Plymouth, Minn.
