Overview
The Falk 40T31 spacer hub grid coupling component is a mechanical power transmission element engineered for industrial automation and motion control applications. This full spacer hub design from Falk’s Steelflex grid coupling line provides reliable torque transmission between two rotating shafts while accommodating inherent misalignment. The Type T31 configuration enables wider spacing between connected equipment compared to close-coupled designs, making it ideal for applications requiring flexible shaft separation.
Key Features
- Type T31 full spacer hub design for increased distance between shafts
- Grid element provides torsional flexibility and shock load absorption
- Steel construction ensures durability in demanding industrial environments
- Compatible with Falk LTG lubricant for extended service life (5-year warranty when properly lubricated)
- Accommodates angular and parallel misalignment without coupling failure
- No periodic maintenance required when installed with proper lubrication
