Mechanical Power Transmission Products for Material Handling and Conveyor Industry

In the Material Handling and Conveyors industry, power transmission components are the backbone of continuous production and logistics flow. From the high-torque, shock-loaded drives of heavy bulk material belt conveyors in mines and ports, to the precise speed-controlled sortation systems of e-commerce fulfilment centres, coupling reliability directly determines throughput, uptime, and operational cost.

At Nu-Teck, we provide high-performance Gear, Disc, Tyre, and Jaw Couplings, along with Heavy-Duty Gear Pinions and Induction-Hardened Sprockets, engineered across the full spectrum of material handling and conveyor applications — from heavy bulk handling to precision logistics systems.

Applications in the Material Handling & Conveyors Industry

Application-wise coupling reference across Belt Conveyors, Screw & Drag Conveyors, Bucket Elevators, Apron & Slat Conveyors, Roller & Sortation Systems, Overhead Conveyors, and Feeders :

Application Nu-Teck Coupling Nu-Teck Advantage
Belt Conveyors
Heavy-Duty Belt Conveyor
Main Drive
(Mining, Ports, Steel Plants)
Gear Couplings
(Heavy-Duty, Spacer Type)
Handle high starting torque and shock loads from loaded belt starts — spacer type allows conveyor
pulley or gearbox seal maintenance without disturbing the drive motor, minimising downtime
on long-distance overland conveyors.
Troughing Belt Conveyors
(Bulk Material — Coal, Ore,
Limestone)
Gear Couplings &
Gear Pinions (Heavy-Duty)
Case-hardened gear pinions at 60 HRC transmit high torque across the abrasive, dusty environment
of bulk material handling — engineered for the continuous-duty, high-load cycles of mine and plant belt
conveyor drives.
Light-Duty &
General Purpose Belt Conveyors
Jaw Couplings &
Tyre Couplings
Maintenance-free jaw couplings for light-duty belt conveyor drives in warehouses, food plants, and
assembly lines — tyre couplings handle misalignment in drives subject to structural flex
and thermal movement.
Screw & Drag Conveyors
Screw Conveyors
(Cement, Grain, Chemical,
Fly Ash)
Gear Couplings (Spacer Type)
& Jaw Couplings
Spacer gear couplings allow screw or trough seal maintenance without moving the
motor — jaw couplings on lighter drives provide maintenance-free, clean operation in food, chemical,
and pharmaceutical conveyor applications.
En-Masse &
Drag Chain Conveyors
Gear Couplings &
Heavy-Duty Sprockets
Heavy-duty gear couplings transmit high torque for en-masse chain conveyor drives — induction-hardened
sprockets resist the abrasive bulk material environment and extend service intervals on drag chain systems.
Bucket Elevators & Vertical Conveyors
Bucket Elevators
(Cement, Grain, Mining,
Fertiliser)
Gear Couplings
(Spacer Type) &
Sprockets
Spacer type allows bucket elevator boot or head shaft maintenance without disturbing the
drive — induction-hardened sprockets on chain-driven elevators resist the abrasive bulk
material environment at head and boot sections.
Vertical Reciprocating
Conveyors
& Lifts
Jaw Couplings &
Gear Couplings
Jaw couplings on vertical lift drives absorb start-stop shock loads and provide maintenance-free
operation — gear couplings on heavy-duty lifts handle the high static and dynamic torque
of loaded vertical material movement.
Apron, Slat & Pan Conveyors
Apron / Plate Conveyors
(Hot Clinker, Castings,
Forgings)
Gear Couplings (Heavy-Duty) &
Induction-Hardened Sprockets
Heavy-duty gear couplings handle the shock loads of hot, heavy material impact on apron
plates — induction-hardened sprockets resist the combined effect of abrasive material, high
temperature, and heavy cyclic chain loads.
Slat & Pan Conveyors
(Automotive, Assembly)
Jaw Couplings &
Precision Sprockets
Maintenance-free jaw couplings drive slat conveyor systems in automotive assembly
plants — precision sprockets ensure smooth, low-noise chain engagement critical for the controlled pacing
of assembly line production.
Roller Conveyors & Sortation Systems
Powered Roller Conveyors &
Accumulation Conveyors
Jaw Couplings &
Precision Sprockets
Jaw couplings provide clean, quiet drive connections for powered roller conveyor
lines — snap-wrap elastomer replacement in minutes without dismantling the drive, minimising stoppages in
high-throughput logistics and warehouse systems.
Sortation Conveyors &
Cross-Belt Sorters
Disc Couplings / Jaw Couplings Zero-backlash disc couplings on high-speed sortation drives provide precise speed control for
accurate divert timing — jaw couplings on auxiliary drives offer maintenance-free operation in the
continuous-duty environment of parcel and e-commerce sortation systems.
Overhead & Aerial Conveyors
Overhead Power & Free Conveyors
(Automotive Paint Shops)
Gear Couplings &
Precision Sprockets
Drive overhead chain conveyors through high-temperature automotive paint ovens — gear couplings
handle the high continuous torque of loaded carrier chains, while precision sprockets ensure
smooth chain engagement in oven environments.
Aerial Ropeways &
Cable Conveyors
(Mining, Quarrying)
Gear Couplings
(Heavy-Duty, Spacer Type) &
Gear Pinions
Heavy-duty gear couplings transmit high torque for ropeway drive terminals — spacer type
accommodates shaft misalignment from structural deflection under full cable load,
with case-hardened pinions for continuous outdoor duty.
Feeders & Dosing Equipment
Vibrating Feeders &
Grizzly Feeders
Jaw Couplings Jaw couplings dampen the torsional vibration from eccentric feeder drives — maintenance-free
snap-wrap design withstands the continuous vibration and abrasive dust environment of grizzly feeder
applications in quarry and mining plants.
Rotary Valves, Airlock Feeders &
Dosing Screws
Jaw Couplings &
Disc Couplings
Disc couplings provide zero-backlash, precise speed control for dosing screw and rotary valve
drives — ensuring accurate material flow rates in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical bulk handling systems.
