TB Wood’s Taper Grid Resilient Couplings
Dr James Bibby originally invented
the Resilient Coupling in 1917 and
the 1000 Series is the latest level
of this well accepted product.
This Bibby Transmissions product
has become universally accepted
where reliable protection against
shaft misalignment and vibration is
desirable.
Since those early days refinements
in design and material specifications
have kept pace with advancing
technology, achieving significant
improvements in power/weight ratios.
TB Wood’s is proud to offer this
proven product.

Long Life
The TB Wood’s Taper Grid Coupling
continues that tradition. The tapered
grid is made from high tensile alloy steel
which is carefully formed to the grid
shape before hardening and tempering
under controlled conditions. The grid
surface is then shot-peened. This
process leaves the grid spring with a
residually stressed surface layer which
is in compression and which impedes
the propagation of cracks. Since nearly
all fatigue and stress corrosion failures
originate at the surface of a part, the
layer of compressive stress induced
by shot-peening produces a dramatic
increase in the working life and fatigue
strength of the grid. This technological
improvement in manufacturing process
coupled with precise monitoring of raw
material specification and control of
trapezoidal shape, permits TB Wood’s
to offer state of the art grid springs of
high performance and reliability.
The hub is precision manufactured
from high quality materials, with the
hub tooth profile scientifically designed
to permit progressive loading under
torsional shock conditions. The
combination of tapered grid and
precision manufactured hub provides
easy assembly. The excellent shock
absorption characteristics, and the
ability to accommodate misalignment
protects the connected equipment.
While the coupling is designed for
long life under tough conditions,
maintenance and taper grid
replacement can be performed quickly
and easily without the need to move
and realign connected equipment. Two
cover design options are available in the
TB Wood’s range of couplings. Both
designs have been carefully engineered
to provide a shaft coupling which is
highly reliable and easy to install.
