AniGears AR Series Resilient Couplings are high-performance, torsionally flexible couplings designed to provide an optimum balance of shock absorption, torsional flexibility, and positive torque transmission.
They transmit power through a specially contoured spring steel grid fitted between two precision-machined hubs and enclosed within a lubricated steel cover.
The grid flexes under load, absorbing shocks and torsional vibrations while accommodating limited angular, parallel, and axial misalignments.
This design combines the advantages of both rigid and flexible couplings, offering smooth power transmission and protection for connected equipment from sudden torque fluctuations.
AniGears AR Couplings are engineered for quiet operation, long life, and fail-safe performance, making them ideal for medium to heavy-duty drives.
All metallic components are phosphated to resist corrosion and to ensure excellent lubrication retention.
AniGears Engineering Solutions, one of the top rresilient coupling manufacturer India, offers the AR Series Resilient Couplings (also known as spring grid couplings) that provide high vibration, shock, and alignment stress to heavy-duty machinery. Engineered in our West Bengal plant and sold all over the country from our Kolkata plant, the AR Series offers the same strength as a rigid coupling while still offering the flexibility of an elastomeric product.
Whether you are looking for what is a resilient coupling or the best coupling for shock load absorption industrial motor, the AR Series is designed for high-demand drives. Whether you need a resilient coupling for motor to gearbox connection or a high-pressure pump station, AniGears delivers reliable and low-maintenance power transmission.

As an ISO-certified resilient coupling manufacturer, AniGears builds its AR Series for demanding process industries that require continuous operation.
The spring steel grid coupling for heavy duty drives is mounted in a hub slot, absorbs up to 30% of the shock loads during peak operation and absorbs the torsional vibrations before they reach your motor or gearbox.
Easily compensates for parallel offset, angular misalignment, and end-float without producing damaging radial bearing loads.
Made using heat-treated alloy spring steel for the grid element and high-density cast iron or forged steel for the hubs to provide long fatigue life in severe environments.
For standard grid couplings, developed by one of the phosphated grid coupling manufacturer India, standard components undergo industrial phosphating or Cathodic Electro Deposition (CED) coating to resist moisture, chemicals, and atmospheric wear.
The split-cover design allows you to quickly get access to the grid element. Maintenance workers can inspect, lubricate, or replace the grid without disturbing the shafts or the prime mover.
When the grid snaps, the hub teeth engage directly to help keep the drive in line, so the truck isn’t let run away.
Understanding how does a grid coupling work by the dynamic interaction between the spring element and the hub teeth.
AniGears is an ISO 9001:2015 torsionally flexible coupling manufacturer providing complete dimension interchangeability for standard industrial sizes.

The flexibility of the AR Series makes it a favourite for a variety of resilient coupling applications:
AniGears is a recognised resilient coupling manufacturer for pumps and compressors, eliminating motor-side torque spikes on high-pressure multistage pumps, slurry pumps, and air compressors.
Protects drive units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, and apron feeders from high start-up inertia.
Absorbs violent torque fluctuations common in mining, aggregate crushing, cement mills, and sugar cane shredders.
Provides smooth power delivery and dampens aerodynamic resonance in large ID and FD fans.
Manages reversing loads and extreme stress in continuous steel rolling mills, paper mill drives, and heavy marine drives.
When deciding between a resilient coupling vs gear coupling, you must consider whether you are looking for damping or maximum torque in a small space.

To determine the proper coupling size for your application, follow this selection logic:
Follow the following tips to install an AR Series unit for a long life of your equipment.
Clean all shaft ends, hub bores, and keyways thoroughly.
Place cover seals onto shafts before mounting hubs. Fit keys, slide hubs onto shafts flush with shaft ends, and tighten setscrews.
Check axial gap, radial/parallel alignment using a straight edge, and angular alignment using a feeler gauge across 90° intervals.
Apply high-grade, extreme-pressure (EP) coupling grease liberally into the hub slots.
Insert the spring grid segments into the hub slots using a soft mallet until grid loops seat fully into the grooves.
Pack remaining grease over the grid loops, position cover seals and gaskets, and torque cover bolts to specified values.
Seals can be replaced without disturbing hubs. Lubrication through grease nipples simplifies periodic servicing.
