IF OUR COUPLINGS
DON’T FIT YOUR APPLICATION... We’ll change our design.
Spring couplings have been a part of powertrains for more than 80 years.
Torsion Control Products (TCP) has developed a line of spring couplings
specifically for today’s modern diesel engines. These products address the
torsional characteristics unique to the diesel engine tier upgrades
that produce lower emissions and more power in smaller
packages with lower operating speeds.
Through the evaluation of many different applications using
Torsional Vibration Analysis, TCP engineers have created products
that address the needs of most applications. Whether it is in construction,
agricultural, mining, industrial or marine equipment, chances are we have
a product that can address the needs of your application. And if we don’t,
we will create a customized solution just for you.

» Mining equipment
SPRING COUPLINGS vs: DRIVE PLATES
Although not all applications require torsional compliance, TCP
engineers will evaluate your application and determine if a spring
coupling would provide an advantage over a conventional drive
plate. TCP has engineered and developed a comprehensive line of
spring couplings used in a wide variety of powertrain applications.
These devices typically offer the following advantages.
» Torsional vibration attenuation
» Resonance isolation
» Overload and shock load protection
» Noise reduction
» Improved bearing / gear life
» Increased system durability
ADVANTAGES OF USING TORSION CONTROL PRODUCTS
SPRING COUPLINGS:
» All steel construction for long life
» Lubricated and non-lubricated environments
» Space efficient design
» Minimal impact from temperature on performance or durability
» Performance can be optimized for a given application
» Multistage stiffness for optimized system tuning
» Controlled coulomb damping using “Smart Damping”
» Drop-in replacement for original drive plates, no spacers required
» Integral shaft support capability eliminates the need for additional
bearing support
Typical Ratings 20 to 20,000 lbs.-ft. (27 to 27,000 N-m)
Typical Environment Dry, lubricated, sealed or unsealed
Performance Consistent throughout the life of the product
Long Life TCP couplings continue to operate and attenuate driveline torsionals in even the roughest
applications
Tuning Capability using
“Smart Damping”
Through the use of our unique Smart Damping system, our products supply damping
when needed and pure isolation when damping is detrimental. This reduces torsional
spikes at start up, shut down, and transient events, improving durability and coupling
life.
