Siemens Torsionally Rigid Gear Coupling:

Type ZZW

A ZAPEX coupling comprises two hub sections with external teeth which are mounted on the machine shafts. Each set of external teeth engages in a flanged socket with mating internal teeth. The flanged sleeves are connected via two flanges with close-fitting bolts.

The teeth are lubricated with oil or grease. On the ZAPEX type ZW, DUO sealing rings are used to seal the tooth space.

The duo sealing rings prevent the lubricant from escaping and dirt from entering the tooth space. The parallel keyways must be sealed during assembly to prevent lubricant from escaping.

The ZZW customised hub design is the Standard type with Intermediate Shaft*.

*Please note that this is a bespoke part. Two individual couplings and an intermediate shaft will need to be purchased for the complete product.
