High performance from stainless-steel couplings

The coupling is a mechanical part used to connect two shafts (active shaft and driven shaft) in different mechanisms to rotate together to transmit torque. In high-speed and heavy-duty power transmission, some couplings also have the function of buffering, damping and improving the dynamic performance of the shafting. The coupling is composed of two halves, which are respectively connected with the driving shaft and the driven shaft. The general power machine is mostly connected with the working machine by means of a coupling.

 

Hydraulic quick release couplings are used in a variety of different host products, and the surrounding working environment is relatively complicated, such as temperature, humidity, water, steam, dust, sand, oil, acid, alkali, corrosive media, salt water, radiation, etc. One of the important factors that must be considered when shafting. For the working quality of high temperature, low temperature, oil, acid and alkali medium, it is not suitable to choose the flexible coupling with the general rubber as the elastic element material, but the metal elastic element flexible coupling, such as diaphragm coupling, Serpentine spring coupling, etc.

 

Stainless steel is a family of alloy steels containing 10.5% or more chromium, which offers high resistance to chemical attack and corrosion, along with strength and durability comparable to standard steel. RYCO reportedly designs and manufactures its products with 316 stainless steel, also known as “Marine Grade,” with excellent corrosion resistance due to added molybdenum content compared to other chromium-nickel steel alloys.

 

The durable stainless hydraulic quick release couplings and stainless steel hydraulic adaptors are recommended for operations that require extra protection from chemical corrosion such as in food production, packaging equipment subject to wash down, medical uses and for tough environments including marine applications. 

 

The stainless steel couplings and metric hydraulic adapters have been engineered, validated and fabricated to ensure safety, reliability and long-term endurance. The comprehensive line is designed to work with an array of stainless steel hydraulic hose types. Those include one-wire braid, two-wire braid, spiral, thermoplastic, textile braid, and Teflon. 

 

There are many approvals from various third parties for hydraulic rubber hoses and stainless steel hydraulic fittings used in matched hose assemblies, including hydraulic hose assemblies fitted with stainless steel hydraulic hose quick release couplings used on ocean liners, navy vessels, and commercial catamarans and in submarine fleets.

Independently accredited to meet all certification requirements of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED), including severe fire exposure requirements, we certified hose assemblies are designed to perform as expected during both normal and emergency operations.

Hose assemblies that meet DNV, GL, BV, ABS, and USCG requirements are integral to the safe and reliable operation of these on-board systems, providing assurance that the assemblies deliver the required performance and reliability.

JAZZY also offers compatible stainless steel hydraulic adapters. They include a wide selection of common threads and end connectors in styles
