Cat Pumps Direct-Drive Flexible Coupling (Model 8275)
SKU: P-WAT-2842
This flexible coupling is essential for creating a compact, efficient direct-drive system between a high-pressure Cat Pump and its electric motor. By using a direct-drive arrangement, this coupling eliminates the power loss, maintenance, and noise associated with traditional belt or gearbox assemblies.
Key features and benefits include:
- Direct-Drive Efficiency: Allows the pump to be mounted directly to the motor, resulting in a smaller footprint, reduced maintenance (no belts to adjust or replace), and higher efficiency.
- High Performance: Designed to handle significant power, rated for motors up to 20 HP and a torque load of 92 FT.LBS.
- Durable Construction: Features a special urethane flexible spyder, engineered for extended life even under high temperatures and high RPM conditions.
- Component Fitment: Specifically designed to join:
- Pump Shaft: 20 mm diameter (5CP & 5FR Series)
- Motor Shaft: 1-3/8 inch diameter (213TC/215TC NEMA Frame Motors)
- Installation Note: This coupling is designed to be combined with a compatible Cat Pumps Bell Housing (sold separately) for a complete, secure drive package.
