The broad majority of couplings in the market are standard size with a generic fit and application. Not often thought of as an essential component in a system, they are nonetheless an important element that stands out when there’s a problem that needs fixing requiring new coupling parts.
This is all the more important when there’s a requirement for a unique coupling design or size that has to be sourced and they’re just not available in the market. That’s when people turn to custom coupling manufacturers who are often able to put customer’s ideas into paper, see its feasibility and layout the process of fabrication.
These unique designs are often applications that solve critical problems or are just more sophisticated such as those needed in aircraft manufacturing applications. These applications may be used in an environment working on pushing an engine’s horsepower for enhancing speed. But more often, it is the coupling’s durability and dependability through the system’s work lifespan working on very unique conditions.
Because these custom made couplings are made to fit in very specific equipment, they are not components that can often be adapted or used in different equipment. With customization often comes with its own limitation of use. They’re great at solving one specific problem or objective but limited in adaptation.
These dedicated custom coupling manufacturers often cater to varied industries such as aircraft manufacturing, steel mill makers and industrial gas turbine fabricators.
While there’s a wide demand for pre-made standardized couplings, there are those who need that customized coupling solution.
