The 51714152 Ingersoll Rand OEM Drive Coupler is an original equipment flexible coupling designed specifically for use in Ingersoll Rand compressor drive systems. This component connects the electric motor to the compressor air-end, transmitting rotational power efficiently while isolating torsional vibration and compensating for minor shaft misalignment during normal operation.
In rotary screw air compressors, the drive coupler is a critical drivetrain component. Startup shock, load transitions, and continuous-duty operation generate torsional forces that can stress shafts, bearings, and seals. The 51714152 coupler is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand’s OEM dimensional and material specifications to ensure proper alignment, stable torque transfer, and long-term durability in industrial environments.
Designed for demanding compressed air applications, this coupler helps maintain drivetrain stability and protects high-value compressor components from premature wear.

Functional Design and Performance
The 51714152 OEM drive coupler incorporates a resilient elastomer element bonded to precision-machined metal hubs. This configuration allows the coupler to act as a torsional isolation device, reducing the transmission of vibration and transient torque spikes throughout the compressor drivetrain.
During startup and shutdown cycles, compressors experience significant torsional shock loads. The elastomer element within the 51714152 absorbs these forces, helping maintain alignment between the motor and air-end while reducing mechanical noise and protecting connected components.
Because this is a genuine OEM Ingersoll Rand component, the elastomer compound and geometry are engineered specifically for Ingersoll Rand compressor operating characteristics. This ensures consistent torque delivery, predictable damping behavior, and reliable service life under continuous-duty industrial conditions.
