Curvic Coupling

Curvic coupling

Curvic couplings are the core part for joining shafts, which are widely used in CNC lathe turrets, machine tools, robots, gas turbines, and high-tech products such as aircraft.

Product Features

Product Classification

ClassificationTypeOuter diameter, Number of teethFeatures
2PCC M Type
  • Outside diameter 30~80
  • Number of teeth 20~24
  • The type indicates the number of teeth-outer diameter-inner diameter.
It emphasizes restoration and has more than 70% restoration. It is used for turret and work exchange in the field of small precision machinery.
S Type
  • Outside diameter 100~600
  • Number of teeth 20~720
  • The type indicates the number of teeth-outer diameter-inner diameter.
It is the most common type and is used for the partitioned table of machining center that requires division accuracy, as well as NC lathes and turrets that require restoration precision. It has excellent compatibility so that it is used for pallet change.
S Type
  • Outside diameter 700~1000
  • Number of teeth 72~720
  • The type indicates the number of teeth-outer diameter-inner diameter.
It is called a large curvic. It is used to determine the division position of large machining centers or the machines. There are many sets of exchanges whereas only one side is rarely used.
W Type
  • Outside diameter 160~280
  • Number of teeth 24~60
  • The type indicates the number of teeth-outer diameter, and inner diameter-maximum outer diameter.
It is called releasing CURVIC. It can enlarge the inner diameter of tooth and the diameter of CLAMP CYLINDER. It is used for large TURRET.
3PCC T Type
  • Outside diameter 110~820
  • Number of teeth 24~270
  • The type indicates the number of teeth-outer diameter-inner diameter.
It is called 3PIECE CURVIC. It is used to rotate the WORK of heavy workpiece without floating during rotation. SET exchange is the principle, and its compatibility is less than 2PCC.

Standard inspection items

ItemPrecisionSuper PrecisionDescription
Tooth contact Whole teeth contact Over 80% Over 90% Check the condition in which the tooth is closely meshed with the standard CURVIC COUPLING (GAUGE for Inspection). Since the length of the tooth is at the center of the tooth, about 50% or more of the tooth width is the default. There should not be two consecutive teeth that do not mesh with the whole teeth, and more than 80% of the teeth surface are in uniform contact.

As it can obtain large Camping force with sufficient stiffness, it is optimized for the partitioned table of MACHINE CENTER for medium machining and high torque transmission, but the allowable load varies depending on the size of the CURVIC COUPLING.

Since it varies depending on the allowable cutting load, allowable torque and clamping force, you need to select it according to the application in the above calculation formula.
