The role of soft joints in the water system

Soft coupling is an indispensable product in the water industry. It is an important task to connect the two pipes together. Not only that, but this device can also expand in a certain range and protect the pipe. In manufacturing industries, plumbing systems often use this type of equipment. To link the detailed pipes together ensure stability during operation. We often install soft couplings at places of great pressure with frequent occurrences.

Soft coupling construction
- Threaded flexible couplings:

The body of the threaded flexible rubber coupling is made of high quality materials such as rubber, stainless steel, and cast iron. Each material has its own characteristics and abilities. Rubber has elastic elasticity, anti-rust stainless steel, cast iron is resistant to heat. Two ends of the pipe fitting are made of steel, threaded stainless steel.

- Flanged flexible coupling:

Like the type on soft joints, flanges also have a body made of high quality materials such as rubber, stainless steel, cast iron. Two ends connected to the pipe are made of steel, stainless steel and pre-installed flange.

Operation function of soft coupling:
- Operation function of soft coupling:

In manufacturing industries, water systems also have compressed air systems. In normal environments, there is a difference in temperature and pressure. When installed in industrial park plants, the environment changes even more. That change will cause the pipe to expand, the vibration causes the pipe to affect.

To overcome this phenomenon, we have the product of two-threaded flexible rubber threaded union Union. Soft connector patterns are very important to ensure better and more durable machine operation. The deformation of soft joints is very good, which can reduce the impact or impact forces. Close and open mechanisms significantly reduce dynamic loads while compensating for misalignment between links.

- Operation of soft coupling:

If there is a water supply in the pipeline system with high pressure when moving through the flexible joint. Then the device will expand and reduce the water pressure through the links. This shows us the ability to compensate for the axis difference, which also has the ability to dampen.

When operating, it will pull the spin pin, the upper shaft face, so that the pin is pressed into the rubber ring. And make the rubber ring squeeze into the hole of the bad joint to follow.

Rubber rings with the ability to create large elasticity so if two axes eccentric. Based on the possibility, the rubber ring will compensate for the maximum deviation.
