Ball-Cage Universal Coupling for Heavy-Duty Petroleum Applications

MTPM spherical ball-cage universal coupling is widely used in heavy-duty drive systems in the petroleum industry, including drilling rigs, mud pumps, and rotary equipment. It is particularly suitable for shaft connections with large angular misalignment or limited radial space, as well as conditions requiring reliable torque transmission under both low speed heavy load and conventional or high-speed operation.

    Product Specifications

    Product name

    ball cage coupling, spherical roller gear coupling,ball cage gear coupling

    Chinese Model

    MTBCC series

    Temperature rating

    -40°C to 120°C

    Material

    Mostly made of high-strength alloy steel 42CrMo(AISI 4140/4340)

    Service life

    When properly aligned and lubricated, the coupling is expected to operate for over 20,000 hours, which generally corresponds to 3 ~ 5 years of service in standard drilling applications.

    Application

    As a key component in heavy-duty drive systems such as drilling rigs, mud pumps, and rotary table and other transmission machinery.

    Third party witness and inspection report available

    Bureau Veritas (BV), CCS, ABS, SJS etc.

    Product Features

    The ball-cage universal coupling combines advanced design with reliable performance:
    • Provides damping and vibration reduction, effectively lowering noise, with an automatic recirculating lubrication system.

    • Offers 0.5 to 1 times higher load capacity compared to conventional universal couplings with the same rotation diameter and inclination angle.

    • Ensures excellent synchronization between driving and driven shafts, even when using a single ball plunger type structure.

    • Allows large axial and radial displacement compensation; axial displacement can be achieved without external spline connections.

    • Compact and lightweight structure with high manufacturability, supporting efficient mass production and reduced costs.

    • Reliable in operation, easy to assemble and disassemble, convenient to maintain, and delivers long service life.

    • Applicable to a wide range of working conditions, from low speed heavy loads to high speed drives, particularly effective for shafts with large inclination angles or restricted radial dimensions.

    • Allows significant axial and radial displacement, with a large angular misalignment capacity, eliminating the need for external spline connections in axial movement.
