Spacer shaft – what is it?

The term ”spacer shaft” includes many things!

Examples:

  • Rigid extension between 2 shafts with no supports
  • Extension shaft to a flexible coupling (spacer, sleeve, spool-shaft, spool-piece).
  • Shaft between 2 flexible elements (e.g. membrane coupling)
  • Intermediate shaft with one or multiple support bearings.

When is Spacer Shaft function used?


  • Coupling with one flexible element

The flexible element allows radial and angular misalignment



Coupling with one flexible element



Coupling with double flexible elements



Coupling with double flexible elements

Short distance between the flexible elements increase the angles

    Understanding Spacer Shaft Alignment

    The spacer shaft function is used when the alignment is performed on machinery using a membrane coupling. The membrane coupling is a typical high-performance coupling, with no backlash, used for maintenance free operation. It is also suitable for high speeds or high temperature applications.
