SKF couplings in the PHE GCKIT line are jaw-type flexible coupling kits, designed to transmit torque between shafts and absorb misalignment, vibration and shock. They are used in pumps, gearboxes, fans and power transmission equipment in general. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line, with technical advice to choose the right kit according to the part number and the application.

The PHE …GCKIT designation reads as follows: PHE identifies the SKF coupling category; the number that follows (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45) indicates the kit size within the series, and GCKIT indicates that it is a complete jaw-type flexible coupling kit. For example, PHE 10GCKIT and PHE 45GCKIT are the same type of product in different sizes. The number is not a diameter or a direct measurement: it is a size reference that correlates with torque capacity and the range of permissible shaft diameters, which you check in the table.

These couplings are used in power transmission between motor and machine: centrifugal pumps, gearboxes, fans, compressors, conveyor belts and agitators. In Argentina they are found in food, chemical, petrochemical and water treatment plants and in HVAC equipment. Being a kit, it includes the coupling elements and allows the assembly to be replaced when there is wear. The flexible jaw absorbs angular, parallel and axial misalignment and dampens torsional vibration, which protects the equipment's bearings and seals.

To select the kit, take into account the nominal and peak torque, the rotation speed, the shaft diameter and the type of load. Check alignment before mounting: although the flexible coupling tolerates a certain amount of misalignment, poor alignment shortens the life of the jaw and the bearings. Lubrication is not required in this type of jaw coupling; the elastomeric element runs dry. Check the condition of the hubs and the jaw periodically, and replace the complete kit if there are cracks or deformation.

As for equivalents, jaw couplings are interchangeable between manufacturers if the hub dimensions, shaft diameter, torque and permissible speed match. Do not go by the part number alone: compare the critical dimensions and the type of elastomer. SKF is a brand that MR Accesorios Industriales carries, and we can advise you on the equivalent from other brands on the market, always without inventing part numbers or dimensions that are not in the catalogue.

If you already have the part number of the coupling you need, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you. If you are not sure of the designation, give us the equipment data: torque, speed, shaft diameter and type of application. With that we help you choose the correct PHE …GCKIT kit or its equivalent. More than 80 years of experience in power transmission back us in advising you on selection and mounting.
