Overview
The Magnaloy Coupling Spider 170 is a premium flexible drive coupling engineered for smooth torque transmission between misaligned shafts. This lot includes three units in new, no-box condition. The load-lock design features a tapered drive lug configuration that conforms under load, inter-locking the two hubs. The elastomeric spider insert absorbs vibration and compensates for minor angular and axial misalignment common in industrial drive systems.
Key Features
- Tapered load-lock design eliminates end thrust in both directions
- Elastomeric spider insert provides damping and vibration isolation
- Reduces loads on bearings and shaft seals
- Magnesium hub construction—lightweight yet rigid
- Radial lug orientation distributes applied forces in compressive direction only
- Lot of 3 units—new, no original packaging
Technical Specifications
The Model 170 is part of Magnaloy’s 9 models of magnesium drive couplings and 1 model of powdered metal drive coupling. Standard material selection and bore/key options support a wide range of shaft sizes and coupling configurations. Verify bore diameter, key size, and spline code requirements with your application specifications.
