Couplings
Globagon produces precision-engineered couplings that ensure efficient torque transfer between compressor and driver shafts, while controlling vibration and maintaining shaft alignment.
Our couplings are engineered to accommodate axial, radial, and angular misalignments, ensuring reliable operation even under fluctuating load conditions. They are available in both rigid and flexible types, with configurations customized to meet specific mechanical and environmental requirements.
High-accuracy machining and dynamic balancing enhance operational smoothness and contribute to longer service life of rotating equipment.
Working Principle
Couplings
The suction valve coupling structure in reciprocating compressors features a piston that moves linearly within a cylinder, driven by an electric mechanism. This piston is directly welded to a valve responsible for opening and closing the internal gas flow passage, resulting in a strong, stable, and leak-resistant connection. By eliminating the need for additional mechanical linkages or fasteners, the design simplifies the overall assembly process and reduces the number of components susceptible to wear and failure over time.
This streamlined coupling structure significantly reduces dead volume—the portion of the compression chamber where gas remains uncompressed—allowing for a more efficient use of the cylinder’s capacity. As a result, stroke volume is increased, enabling a larger amount of gas to be compressed during each cycle. This directly contributes to improved overall compression efficiency and reduced energy consumption, which are critical factors in industrial applications where compressors often run continuously.
Furthermore, the rigid and precise connection between the piston and the valve enhances control over piston movement, making it easier to achieve accurate stroke adjustments and maintain consistent performance under varying operating conditions. This level of control is particularly beneficial in systems requiring high levels of responsiveness and operational stability.
In addition to performance gains, the structural integrity of the welded joint enhances the reliability and durability of the suction valve coupling over extended periods of use. This reduces the frequency of maintenance interventions and contributes to longer equipment lifespan, translating into cost savings and improved uptime for users.
Overall, this coupling approach represents a practical and efficient solution for optimizing compressor design, especially in high-demand industrial environments where performance, reliability, and energy efficiency are top priorities.
