The clever connection: dismounting an OKF coupling | SKF Marine

When using OK couplings for shaft connections, you profit from the advantages of our powerful oil injection method. This animation displays the simplicity of dismounting an OKF coupling. With both the OKC and OKF couplings, SKF presents benefits that are virtually impossible to achieve with traditional couplings. The simplicity of mounting and dismounting and the high torque transmission capacity characterized by OK couplings are achieved using a powerful friction joint. The OKF coupling was developed to create a simple connection between a cylindrical shaft and engines or gearboxes having a flange at the thrust shaft. Preparation of the shaft is simple. There are no keyways to machine, no taper and no thrust ring. Since the coupling is mounted on a cylindrical shaft and not fixed by keyways, it can easily be adjusted axially and rotated to the desired position.
