Jaw Flex Coupling / L-Type Star Coupling
Sahara Engineers is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality Jaw Flex Couplings (L-Type Star Couplings) based in Ahmedabad, India. Designed for torsionally flexible and maintenance-free operation, these couplings provide reliable torque transmission while reducing vibrations and dynamic stresses in machinery.
Jaw Flex Couplings, also known as L-Type Star Couplings, are torsionally flexible couplings that transmit torque between two shafts while accommodating slight misalignments. Their design includes a star-shaped elastomeric element that absorbs shocks, reduces vibration, and ensures smooth rotation. The compact and rugged design makes them suitable for various industrial applications where space is limited and reliable, maintenance-free operation is critical.
