HRC Coupling
HRC coupling, which stands for Highly Resilient Coupling, is a type of flexible coupling designed to transmit torque while accommodating misalignment between shafts. These couplings are known for their excellent performance in demanding industrial applications.
Key features of HRC coupling include:
- High Torque Capacity: HRC couplings can handle significant torque loads, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Misalignment Tolerance: These couplings can accommodate angular, parallel, and axial misalignment between connected shafts.
- Vibration Dampening: The flexible element in HRC couplings helps absorb shock and reduce vibration transmission.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance: The hub-and-sleeve design allows for easy assembly and disassembly without moving connected equipment.
- Fail-Safe Operation: In case of element failure, HRC couplings can continue to operate for a short period, preventing immediate system shutdown.
- Wide Range of Sizes: Available in various sizes to suit different shaft diameters and torque requirements.
- Taper Lock or Keyway Options: HRC hubs can be fitted with either taper lock bushings or keyways for secure shaft attachment.
Our range of HRC coupling products includes:
- HRC Hubs: The core component of the coupling, available in different sizes and configurations.
- Flexible Elements: High-quality rubber elements that provide the coupling's flexibility and vibration dampening properties.
- Taper Lock Bushings: For secure, adjustable attachment of hubs to shafts
Whether you need a complete HRC coupling assembly or individual components like HRC hubs, our extensive inventory has you covered.

FAQs
What is an HRC coupling used for?
HRC couplings are used to connect two shafts for the purpose of transmitting power. They are particularly useful in applications where there may be misalignment between the shafts or where vibration dampening is required. Common applications include pumps, compressors, and various industrial machinery.
How do I choose the right size HRC coupling?
Selecting the right size HRC coupling depends on several factors:
- The shaft diameters to be connected
- The torque to be transmitted
- The operating speed
- The degree of misalignment to be accommodated Our team can help you calculate the appropriate size based on these factors.
Are HRC hubs interchangeable between different brands?
While HRC hubs are designed to a standard, there can be slight variations in hubs between brands. It's generally best to use components from the same manufacturer to ensure proper fit and performance. If you need to replace a component, contact us for advice on compatibility.
How often should HRC couplings be maintained?
The maintenance interval for HRC couplings depends on the application and operating conditions. Generally, it's recommended to inspect the coupling regularly for signs of wear or damage, particularly the flexible element. Our team can provide specific maintenance recommendations based on your usage.
Can HRC couplings be used in high-temperature environments?
Standard HRC couplings are suitable for moderate temperature ranges. For high-temperature applications, special heat-resistant flexible elements are available. Contact our team to discuss your specific temperature requirements.
