Key Features
Roller Chain Flexible Coupling
Two coupling sprockets and a length of double-strand (duplex) roller chain form a compact flexible coupling that tolerates angular misalignment up to 1° and parallel offset up to 0.5 mm.
Shock-Load Absorption
The roller chain element absorbs shock and vibration between motor and load — protecting gearboxes, pumps, and driven machines from torque spikes common in start-stop operations.
⚙️
Easy Maintenance
Chain coupling disassembly requires only disconnecting the roller chain link — no alignment tools or heat required. Chain replacement restores full coupling performance without disturbing shaft alignment.
High Torque Capacity
Double-strand roller chain wraps two tooth profiles simultaneously, providing significantly higher torque capacity per unit diameter than jaw or disc couplings of equivalent size.
Compatibility
The NK60-2B coupling sprocket is used as a matched pair with a duplex (double-strand) roller chain forming a complete roller-chain coupling. Both sprockets must be the same model and tooth count. Bore finished to your shaft diameter; keyway and set-screw included on solid-hub types. Contact our team for torque and misalignment calculations.

Customer Reviews
Alan W. ★★★★★ Australia
“NK60-2B coupling sprockets fitted to our pump drives — running flawlessly for 18 months with no chain replacement needed yet. Excellent value.”
NK60-2B Z=9 Coupling Sprocket · March 2025
Dieter H. ★★★★★ Germany
“Bore tolerance is excellent — h6 shaft fit, zero wobble. The chain coupling performs quieter than the jaw coupling it replaced.”
NK60-2B Z=12 Coupling Sprocket · January 2025
Asha R. ★★★★☆ South Africa
“Good quality. Delivery to Johannesburg took 12 days — acceptable. Would have given 5 stars with faster freight.”
NK60-2B Z=10 Coupling Sprocket · February 2025
Brett M. ★★★★★ New Zealand
“Perfect for our irrigation pump coupling refurbishment. Fitted both sprockets and new chain in under an hour.”

FAQ
► How many teeth do I need for a coupling sprocket pair?
Both coupling sprockets must have the same tooth count. The most common tooth counts are 9, 10, 11, and 12. More teeth = smoother operation but larger coupling diameter.
► What chain do I use with coupling sprockets?
Roller chain coupling assemblies use a length of double-strand (duplex) roller chain in the appropriate pitch. The chain pitch must match the sprocket pitch exactly.
► How much misalignment can a roller chain coupling tolerate?
Typically ±1° angular misalignment and ±0.5 mm parallel offset at the rated torque. Misalignment beyond these limits increases chain and sprocket wear significantly.
► Do you supply the complete coupling set (sprocket pair + chain)?
Yes. We can supply matched pairs of coupling sprockets with the appropriate length of duplex chain and chain housing (cover) as a complete coupling kit. Contact us for full kit pricing.
► What is the maximum torque for the NK80B coupling sprocket?
Torque capacity depends on tooth count and chain pitch. For NK80B Z=10, typical rated torque is 350–500 Nm depending on speed. Contact our engineering team for a precise calculation for your application.
- Finish-bore both coupling sprockets to the respective shaft diameters; cut keyways to drawing.
- Mount sprockets on their respective shafts; align shafts using a dial indicator — target less than 0.1 mm TIR on coupling hub face.
- Wrap the duplex roller chain around both sprockets and close with a connecting link.
- Install the chain coupling housing (cover) if required for guard compliance or lubrication retention.
- Verify shaft alignment monthly during the first 3 months of operation and re-check after any unexpected load or vibration event.
