Jaw Couplings

Jaw Couplings Built for Performance – Trusted by Industries Nationwide

A jaw coupling is one of the most widely used mechanical power transmission components—and for good reason. It’s compact, simple to install, and handles both torque transmission and vibration damping like a pro.
At DeePee Rubber, we offer a wide range of flexible jaw couplings that provide a dependable connection between shafts, all while absorbing shocks and reducing misalignment issues. There are different types of jaw couplings, Whether you’re looking for AL Type, L Type, SS Type, or even custom spider jaw couplings, we’ve got you covered.

What Is a Jaw Coupling? How Do Jaw Couplings Work?

A jaw coupling connects two shafts together and transmits power while accommodating slight misalignments and absorbing vibrations. It’s made of three parts: two metal hubs (with jaw-like extensions) and an elastomer insert in between—called the spider.
When torque is applied, the metal hubs rotate and press against the spider, allowing power to be transmitted smoothly while protecting your machine components from stress.

Here Are the Types of Jaw Coupling

At DeePee Rubber, we manufacture all major jaw coupling types, including:
  • L Type Coupling – Standard jaw type coupling used in general-purpose machinery.
  • AL Type Coupling – Lightweight aluminum option for reduced rotational mass.
  • SS Type Coupling – Made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
  • Curved Jaw Coupling – Designed for smoother torque transmission and vibration dampening.
  • Flexible Jaw Coupling – Great for dynamic load conditions.
  • Spider Coupling – Includes a wide variety of coupling spider types for different torque and flexibility needs.
  • Low Jaw Coupling – Compact solutions for space-limited equipment.
  • Types of LC – Custom jaw coupling configurations based on load, shaft size, and alignment needs.

Each jaw coupling is available in multiple sizes and materials, depending on the torque, speed, and shaft configuration required.

Top Features and Benefits of Jaw Couplings

  • Vibration Absorption – The elastomer spider dampens shocks.
  • Misalignment Handling – Takes care of angular, radial, and axial misalignments.
  • Easy Installation – No need for lubrication or complex setups.
  • Compact Design – Saves space while maintaining strength.
  • Customizable – Available in various sizes, styles, and materials.
  • Low Maintenance – Simple design means fewer breakdowns over time.
Whether you need an L Type coupling for basic setups or an SS Type for harsh environments, we provide high-performance options for every application.

Applications of Jaw Couplings in Various Industries

aw couplings are widely used across industries that demand reliable torque transmission and shock absorption:
  • Textile machinery
  • Conveyors and packaging systems
  • Printing machines
  • Pumps and compressors
  • Automotive power systems
  • Food-grade machinery (SS Type jaw couplings)
  • Custom OEM systems
No matter the use case, our jaw couplings ensure smoother motion, longer component life, and less downtime.
