46817246 Ingersoll Rand OEM Drive Coupler

The 46817246 Ingersoll Rand OEM Drive Coupler is an OEM coupling specified for Ingersoll Rand portable air compressors. This part connects the engine output to the compressor airend through a flexible elastomeric element designed for the continuous-duty demands of field compressor service.

IR portable compressors power everything from pneumatic tools on construction sites to sandblasting operations on pipeline projects. The drive coupler in these machines operates in a hot, vibration-heavy environment where the rubber element is constantly flexing under load. Temperature cycling from desert heat to cold morning startups causes the elastomer to gradually harden, reducing its ability to isolate vibration. By the time operators notice increased noise or frame vibration, the element may already be cracked through.

This OEM part matches the original hub interface and elastomer specifications. During replacement, remove all old material from the hub pockets, check for corrosion on shaft surfaces, and torque all fasteners evenly per the IR maintenance guide.
