Background
Customer was experiencing intermit coupling failures on a pumping system. The applica9on sizing was confirmed to be correct for the size of electric motor HP & speed and equipment service factor.
![Page 17: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Inves+ga+on
The analysis of the coupling pointed to an overload type failure as the disc pack fasteners experienced severe deforma9on & fracturing.
![Page 18: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Inves+ga+on
Based on the coupling root cause analysis, the equipment was instrumented to measure torque and speed at the coupling interface. It was found that the system was experiencing a torque condi9on during startup that created a transient load that exceeded the couplings peak torque ra9ng. Over a series of start-‐ups, this created a low cycle fa9gue type overload failure on the coupling.
![Page 19: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Solu+on
The coupling was sized with the new torque level requirements (as measured). While the resul9ng coupling selec9on was mul9ple sizes larger than the original, the larger size was required as the number of startup cycles the coupling would experience over its service life necessitated the coupling have the ability to withstand a high number of startup cycles.

High Temperature Coupling Application
![Page 34: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Introduction • Medical instrumentation manufacturer
had tried many standard couplings for use in a pharmaceutical research instrument, none of them being successful.
• The company contacted Ruland Manufacturing because of our expertise and wide variety of product.

![Page 35: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Application Specifics • Day to day requirement for the coupling
was not unusual or difficult to address.
• Large parallel misalignment of the shafts needed to be accounted for, the speed was low, zero-backlash with a high level of accuracy was required.
Representation of parallel misalignment
![Page 36: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Problem • Periodic sterilization of the instrument in an
autoclave was required.
• The high temperature was destroying any standard coupling design that met the mechanical operational requirements.
• Standard coupling designs that could survive the high temperature did not have the amount of parallel misalignment needed for the application.
High temperature is an issue
![Page 37: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Coupling Considerations • A basic coupling design must be chosen as a
starting point for a custom solution.
• Basic oldham design had the large parallel misalignment capabilities, as well as the required accuracy.
• Standard oldham discs could not survive the temperature in the autoclave requiring us to look beyond our standard materials.
Oldham couplings accommodate high parallel misalignment and accuracy
![Page 38: Outside-of-the-box solutions for coupling applications](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020218/55a6984e1a28ab702d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Material Selection • Design engineers needed to find a suitable high
temperature material for the custom disc that could meet the required performance characteristics.
• Manufacturing had to find a way to machine this material with a high level of precision to maintain zero-backlash operation.
• The result was a custom disc made from PEEK.
• This satisfied the mechanical and temperature requirements and has solved the customer’s issue.
