In addition to our well-known non-lubricated style high performance disc and flexible diaphragm couplings, TP’s High Performance gear couplings are still the workhorse in hundreds of applications throughout the world.  A great many of these installations in gas turbine load and accessory drive applications feature TP’s High Performance gear couplings having the highest torque capacity for a given size coupling.

 

With fully crowned gear teeth, these couplings are designed for higher torque, higher speed, and higher misalignment to accommodate the increased performance demands of modern, rotating equipment.

 

Standard and custom designs are manufactured at our Houston facility to precision tolerances using high quality alloy steel heat treated to optimum properties of strength, hardness and toughness. Custom designs are available to meet your requirements for weight or size limitations, high temperature, high speed or extreme misalignment requirements. The gear tooth is fully crowned and can be designed to handle extreme misalignment requirements.

7.  PATENTS: TP warrants that the Goods sold, except as are made

specifically for Buyer according to Buyer’s specifications, do not infringe any valid U.S. patent in existence as of the date of delivery. This warranty is given on the condition that the Buyer promptly notify TP of any claim or suit involving Buyer in which such infringement is alleged.
