Flange Coupling Hub for Industrial Power Transmission
A flange coupling hub is a critical component in modern mechanical power transmission systems. It connects rotating shafts with precision and stability, ensuring smooth torque transfer and long service life. At Weforging, our forged flange coupling hubs combine high-strength metallurgy with CNC-level machining accuracy to deliver consistent and reliable performance in demanding environments.
What Is a Flange Coupling Hub?
A flange coupling hub is a mechanical connecting element featuring a central bore and a surrounding flange with uniformly distributed bolt holes. This configuration allows it to be firmly attached to a shaft on one side and bolted to a mating component on the other—such as another hub, gearbox, motor output, or transmission assembly.
In many applications, the hub is used together with a flanged coupling or a flange coupling adapter, enabling secure and efficient torque transfer even under heavy loads.
Compared with standard couplings, a flange coupling hub offers stronger mechanical rigidity, easier installation, and improved alignment accuracy, making it ideal for both high-speed and high-torque systems.
Manufacturing Process and Material Options
Weforging manufactures flange coupling hubs through a closed-die forging process, which enhances grain flow, strength, and fatigue resistance. After forging, each hub undergoes precision CNC machining to achieve tight dimensional tolerances and excellent surface finish.
Common materials include:
42CrMo / AISI 4140 alloy steel
40Cr / AISI 5140
Carbon steel (C45, Q235, Q345)
Stainless steel (304, 316) for corrosion-resistant applications
Heat-treatment options such as quenching & tempering, induction hardening, or nitriding can be applied depending on the performance requirements.
