Value Collection 468.41.2727 Flexible Membrane Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 468.41.2727 is a stainless steel flexible membrane disc coupling designed for shaft-to-shaft power transmission in mechanical drive systems. It accommodates slight angular and axial misalignment while maintaining a positive torque connection rated at 8370 inch-pounds. Built from 18-8 stainless steel, this coupling is suited for environments where corrosion resistance matters. The compact overall length of 1.97 inches and outside diameter of 1.63 inches make it a practical fit in space-constrained drive train assemblies. Installation is handled by mechanical technicians and machine builders working on precision equipment, conveyor systems, pumps, and similar rotating machinery.

This membrane disc coupling is appropriate for light industrial and commercial mechanical applications where flexible couplings are required to connect motor and driven shafts with a 5/16 inch bore. The disc-style membrane design transmits torque without lubrication and tolerates minor shaft misalignment without metal-to-metal contact. It is a direct-fit option for applications where a stainless steel coupling is specified for hygiene, washdown, or corrosive environment requirements.

Key Features

• Flexible membrane disc design accommodates minor angular and axial misalignment without lubrication
• 8370 inch-pound torque rating for positive power transmission
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Compact footprint at 1.97 inches overall length and 1.63 inches outside diameter
• 5/16 inch inside diameter bore fits common small-shaft motor and pump applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or new-installation flexible membrane disc coupling for mechanical drive assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch bore, 1.63 inch outside diameter, and stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed millwright, machine builder, or mechanical technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before handling any rotating components. Ensure shaft surfaces are clean and free of burrs before fitting the coupling. Verify shaft alignment within the coupling tolerance specification to avoid premature membrane fatigue.
