A star coupler is a mechanical part that is usually used to transmit rotational torque and axial force. It consists of multiple axially nested gears and has many different applications. In this article, we will delve into the main functions of the star coupler and its application in various fields.

Transmitting moments and axial forces
The main function of the star coupler is to transmit torque and axial force. In mechanical equipment, it is often necessary to transmit rotational torque from one shaft to another, and the star coupler realizes this function by means of nested gears. At the same time, star couplers can also meet different transmission requirements through different combinations, such as parallel shafts, cross shafts, vertical shafts, etc.

Shock and Noise Reduction
The star coupler can also play a role in shock absorption and noise reduction. When mechanical equipment is in operation, due to the inevitable mechanical vibration and impact force, certain noise and vibration will be generated. The nested gear structure of the star coupler can reduce noise and vibration by dispersing and absorbing these vibrations and shocks, thereby improving the working efficiency and service life of mechanical equipment.

Adjust clearance and compensate for errors
In mechanical transmission systems, due to various reasons, shaft clearance and errors are often unavoidable. The star coupler can adjust the shaft clearance and compensate the error by adjusting the nesting depth and pressure angle of the gear, so as to ensure the transmission accuracy and reliability of the mechanical equipment.

Protect machinery and personnel
The star coupler can also play a role in protecting the safety of mechanical equipment and personnel. In the process of mechanical transmission, due to various reasons, such as sudden increase in load, axial offset, etc., bearings are often subjected to extreme pressure and extrusion, resulting in damage and accidents. Star couplers protect machinery and personnel by dispersing and absorbing these stresses and crushing forces.

In addition to the above main functions, star couplers have many other applications. For example, used in wind turbines and hydroelectric generators, FIBERWDM can support provide 8X8 star Coupler module, witch having multiple 8 channels input and 8 channels output ports. It is used for uniformly distributing each input signal to the output ports. Except Star couplers, we can also offer fiber coupler, We will try our best to meet all of you need.
