Miki Pulley Steel ASK Couplings Offer Advantages for Centrifugal Pumps

Corrosive chemicals such as chlorine, acids, alkalis and solvents require special pumps to handle their corrosive properties. Centrifugal pumps are most often used and offer advantages during the production process particularly when operating with Stainless Steel ASK Couplings from Miki Pulley.

These couplings feature a unique “sliced” body structure making them an effective low-cost corrosion resistant solution that can accommodate many types of misalignment commonly found in chemical transfer pumps.

One piece ASK Coupling design is the ideal method for compensating all types of system misalignment in a shaft-to-shaft connection. The sliced design handles high rotation speeds in high temperature ranges experienced in chemical processing systems.

The ASK Coupling offers exceptional torsional stiffness and strength. This proven Miki Pulley coupling design assures accurate shaft rotation with precise control. The Stainless Steel ASK coupling dampens conductive heat transfer from motor to output shaft. Also important, the coupling provides limited shaft misalignment to alleviate premature system bearing wear.

 The coupling’s aerodynamic profile decreases noise while optimizing performance at high speeds. Simple yet reliable, ASK couplings are easily configurable to accommodate a wide range of DBSE (distance between shaft ends). Bores can be arranged with clamp, split-collar, or keyed styles for specific application requirements.
