Sand Pump Coupling Selection Guide

How to Choose a Suitable Coupling for sand dredge pump £¿

As an important part of the mechanical transmission system, couplings play a key role in connecting and transmitting power in industrial production. The function of the coupling is not only to connect two shafts, but also to effectively transmit signals, reduce vibration, adjust the deviation between shafts, etc. Through reasonable selection and use of couplings, the normal operation of the equipment can be ensured, the service life of the equipment can be extended, and the production efficiency can be improved.

Coupling selection

There are several factors to consider when choosing the right coupling:

Torque transmission capacity

The required torque transmission capacity is determined based on the power and speed of the sand pump and driving equipment. When selecting a coupling, ensure that its torque transmission capacity is greater than the actual torque required.

Axial and angular displacement H3

Consider the possible axial and angular displacement between the sand pump and the driving equipment, and select a coupling that can accommodate these displacements.

Wear resistance and durability

Considering the harsh conditions in the mining environment, select couplings with good wear resistance and durability to ensure long-term stable operation. Some project need for sea dredging and the coupling with rubber easy to worn out because of corrosion ,so need special material for long time use .

Ease of installation and maintenance

Choose couplings that are easy to install and maintain to reduce maintenance costs and downtime.

Cost and performance comparison

Comprehensively consider the cost and performance of the coupling and choose a product with high cost performance.

Brand and supplier reputation

Choose well-known brands and suppliers with good reputation to ensure product quality and after-sales service.

Coupling alignment

The alignment method of the coupling is to ensure that the axes of the two ends of the coupling are on the same straight line, and the angle between the axes is within the specified range. The following is the general correction method:

Make sure the axes of the sand pump and drive equipment are installed and aligned correctly.

Install the sleeves at both ends of the coupling on the shafts of the sand pump and the driving equipment respectively.

Use special tools or manually rotate the sleeves to align and connect the sleeves at both ends of the coupling.

Use a level or other measuring tool to check that the axes are aligned and adjust the bushing position until the axes are aligned.

Use an angle ruler or other angle measurement tool to check whether the angle between the axes is within the specified range, and adjust the coupling position until the angle meets the requirements.

Make sure couplings are securely connected, bolts are tightened, and make final inspections and adjustments.

Coupling classification

Couplings can usually be classified according to their structure, working principle and purpose. Here are some common coupling classifications:

Tooth coupling

connects two shafts through gear transmission. It is suitable for occasions that require high torque transmission and precision transmission, such as machine tools, wind turbines, etc.



Pin coupling

Connects two shafts through a tapered pin. It has the characteristics of simple structure and easy installation, and is suitable for some small transmission systems.

Sand pump machine is most commonly used in pumping system that move sand deposits to long distance. It is simply classified as sand suction pump, slurry pump and gravel pump. They are widely used in mining, metallurgy, coal washing, power plants, sewage water treatment, dredging, and chemical and petroleum industries. We are dedicated to develop high efficient sand suction pump for your most challenging pumping applications.

Polyurethane coupling

Made of polyurethane material, it has good wear resistance and impact resistance, and is suitable for high-speed transmission and harsh working environments.



Liquid coupling

Utilizes liquid to transmit power, which can achieve stepless speed change and smooth transmission. It is suitable for occasions that require speed change and shock absorption.

As an indispensable part of the mechanical transmission system, couplings undertake important functions such as connecting equipment, transmitting power, and reducing vibration. By understanding different types of couplings and their applicable scenarios, we can better select the appropriate coupling to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and increase production efficiency.
