Magnaloy
Magnaloy is the original lightweight, heavy-duty flexible drive coupling. Light weight magnesium construction makes Magnaloy couplings 76% lighter than cast iron and 36% lighter than aluminum units...and they're stronger than either!
The benefits are many...Reduced loads on bearings, shafts and pumps, for longer component life.
Easier handling and installation. Rust proof and corrosion resistant.
Magnaloy's close machining tolerances (TIR of .002") assures vibration-free operation and easy, accurate alignment without the need for special tools. Solid magnesium alloy sand castings are heat treated and offer the highest strength-to-weight ratio available.
The clamp-type coupling utilizes the basic Magnaloy coupling with the addition of the clamp feature. Developed to compensate for variation in spline formation methods and tolerances. Assures centering of the coupling and positive retention on the shaft. The clamp feature is suggested for all spline couplings, but is also available in smooth bored and keyed models.
