HCM
The Model HCM Fluid Coupling is a complete unit with both
input and output flanges. It is intended for installaion between
two halves of a double engagement gear tooth flexible coupling
which is customer supplied.
HBM Sizes
HSD The Model HSD Fluid Coupling consists of a basic fluid coupling,
input and output group, and a standard customer supplied QD
type sheave. Hydro-sheave couplings provide minimal overhung
loads for parallel (belt-driven) applications. The sheave is
mounted on a coupling installed on the end of a drive shaft.
Mesur-Fil Couplings can be installed very quickly and easily
utilizing a slotted collet for mounting on the motor shaft instead
of the center bolt that is most commonly used with other sheave
drives. Unlike the center bolt, the slotted collet requires no
drilling and tapping of the end of the motor shaft. The slotted
collet is finished bored to fit standard NEMA B motor shaft
dimensions.Available bore sizes are found elsewhere in this
brochure.
Input Output
HC
The model HC Fluid Coupling consists of the basic
coupling with bearing carrier group and seals installed.
Optional output and input groups are available as
shown on these pages or customer supplied. This
arrangement provides for a wide range of input and
output configurations for ease of installation.
