Amerigear Class I Couplings Advantages and Features Styles
Amerigear Class I High Performance Gear Couplings with fully crowned gear teeth are designed for higher torque, higher speed, and higher misalignment to accommodate the increased performance demands of modern, rotating equipment. Ameridrives, the first to apply the fully crowned gear tooth concept to a gear-type coupling in the early 1950's, continues to offer Amerigear Class I couplings with high torque and high performance characteristics in relation to their size and weight.

Standard and custom designs are manufactured at Ameridrives to precision tolerances utilizing high quality steel and fasteners. Custom designs are available to meet your requirements for weight or size limitations, high temperature, high speed or extreme misalignment requirements. The gear tooth is fully crowned and can be designed to handle extreme misalignment requirements.
