Flange Coupling Hub Manufacturer | Forged & CNC Machined
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.
Materials & Heat Treatment
Forged flange coupling hubs are produced from alloy or carbon steels selected for strength and durability. Common materials include:
42CrMo / 4140 alloy steel
40Cr / AISI 5140
Carbon steel (C45, Q235, Q345)
Stainless steel for corrosion resistance
Heat-treatment processes such as quenching and tempering, induction hardening, or nitriding improve wear resistance and fatigue life, ensuring dependable long-term performance.
Manufacturing Process of Flange Coupling Hub
Each CNC machined flange hub is produced through a controlled multi-step process:
Closed-die forging to optimize grain flow
Rough machining and stress relief
CNC turning and milling for precision tolerances
Surface finishing and heat treatment
Final dimensional inspection
This process ensures mechanical strength, concentricity, and repeatable batch consistency.
