LX Nylon Pin Gear Coupling – Elastic Pin Type with Brake Wheel | High Torque 18000 N·m

Factory direct | Multiple models | Long service life – reliable heavy‑duty power transmission

The LX series is a nylon pin gear coupling (elastic pin type) , optionally available with a brake wheel for braking applications. It combines the flexibility of elastic nylon pins with the ruggedness of gear coupling design.

✅ Ideal for applications requiring misalignment accommodation, shock absorption, and high torque capacity.

Six Core Advantages

Technical Specifications (Based on LX Model)

⚙️ Other specifications (bore size, brake wheel diameter) can be customized – contact us for a drawing.

Key Features

✅ High Torque & Mechanical Strength

Manufactured from 45# steel with black oxide finish – excellent wear resistance and anti‑corrosion. The nylon 6 pins provide enough elasticity to absorb shocks while maintaining torsional stiffness.

✅ Accommodates Misalignment

Unlike rigid couplings, the LX nylon pin coupling allows radial eccentricity up to 0.1mm and angular misalignment up to 1° – reducing stress on bearings and shafts.

✅ Brake Wheel Integration

Available with a brake wheel (brake drum) for systems that require controlled stopping or emergency braking – common in hoists, cranes, and heavy industrial drives.

✅ Easy Maintenance

The nylon pins are replaceable without moving the connected equipment. This reduces downtime significantly.

✅ Compact & Versatile

Compact structure fits into tight spaces. Multiple models and bore sizes available.

Applications

• Mask making machines

• Die‑cutting machines

• Heavy conveyors & bucket elevators

• Mixers & agitators

• Ball mills & crushers

• Cranes & hoists (with brake wheel option)

• Paper & pulp machinery

• Steel mill equipment

Why Choose Apex Coupling for LX Pin Couplings?

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between LX nylon pin coupling and a rigid coupling?
A: LX coupling absorbs small misalignments (eccentricity 0.1mm, angle 1°) and shock loads thanks to elastic nylon pins. Rigid couplings require perfect alignment.

Q: Can I get the coupling with a brake wheel?
A: Yes. We offer an integrated brake wheel design – please specify your required brake wheel diameter and width.

Q: How long do the nylon pins last?
A: Under normal load and alignment, pins can last 12‑24 months. They are easily replaceable.

Q: What is the maximum torque?
A: Up to 18,000 N·m for standard models. Higher torque available on request.
