The Flexible Coupling Hub in a generator rotor is a mechanical component engineered for heavy machinery, such as power generators. It is an integral part of the power generation process, as it allows for the transfer of mechanical energy between the prime mover and the generator itself. This coupling hub is designed to accommodate misalignments, torsional vibrations, and axial movements, which are common in heavy machinery applications. The primary function of a flexible coupling hub in a generator rotor is to provide a flexible and robust connection between the generator rotor shaft and the driving mechanism, such as a turbine shaft.
Attributes:
• Made from high-strength material to withstand the high loads and demands of power generation.
• Designed to handle high torque levels to transmit power.
• Absorb and dampen torsional vibrations.
Applications:
The Flexible Coupling Hub is located within the generator rotor assembly. It is installed at the junction of the generator rotor shaft and the prime mover's shaft
