KC series and GL series roller chain coupling difference
2025-04-09
The main difference between the roller chain couplings KC and GL lies in their structure, application scenarios and performance parameters. Type KC roller chain couplings are generally used to transfer large torques between large diameter shafts, while type GL roller chain couplings are suitable for medium torque transmission requirements. The KC coupling has a higher allowable speed, while the GL coupling has a smaller nominal torque, which is suitable for different working conditions and scenarios.
The characteristics of KC type roller chain coupling
The KC roller chain coupling consists of a pair of sprockets with shaft sleeves and two rows of roller chains connected as one, which is mainly used to transfer large torque between large diameter rotating shafts. It has the following characteristics:
simple structure : consists of four main parts, easy to install and disassemble.
Light weight, compact size : suitable for applications requiring lightweight and compact design.
compensation capacity : can slightly compensate the displacement of two axes.
reliable work, long life, low cost : suitable for all kinds of industrial equipment, especially in high temperature, humid and dusty environment.
Scope of application : widely used in textile, agricultural machinery, lifting and transportation, engineering, mining, light industry, chemical industry and other fields.

Features of GL roller chain coupling
GL roller chain coupling has the following features:
simple structure : consists of four main parts, easy to install and disassemble.
nominal torque small : suitable for medium torque transmission needs.
Lower allowable speed : The allowable speed is 1400r/min without cover and 4500r/min with cover.
Scope of application : suitable for shafting transmission of textile, agricultural machinery, lifting and transportation, engineering, mining, light industry, chemical industry and other machinery, especially in high temperature, humid and dusty environment. Not suitable for high-speed, severe impact load and axial force transmission occasions.
