The 54755087 Ingersoll Rand OEM Drive Coupler is an original equipment flexible coupling engineered for use in Ingersoll Rand compressor drive assemblies. This component connects the electric motor or engine to the compressor air-end, enabling efficient rotational power transmission while absorbing torsional vibration and compensating for minor shaft misalignment during normal operation.
In rotary screw air compressors, the drive coupler is a critical drivetrain component. If the coupler does not meet OEM dimensional tolerances, material standards, or balance requirements, vibration and shock loads can be transmitted directly into shafts, bearings, and seals. Over time, this can lead to premature wear, reduced efficiency, and costly downtime. The 54755087 coupler is manufactured to Ingersoll Rand’s OEM engineering standards to ensure proper alignment, stable performance, and long-term reliability.
This coupler is designed for continuous-duty industrial compressor applications where load variation, temperature changes, and extended operating cycles are common.

Functional Design and Performance
The 54755087 OEM drive coupler incorporates a resilient elastomer element bonded to precision-machined metal hubs. This design allows the coupler to act as a torsional isolation device, reducing the transmission of harmful vibration and transient torque spikes into the compressor drivetrain.
During startup, shutdown, and fluctuating load conditions, rotary screw compressors generate torsional shock loads that can stress shafts and bearings. The elastomer element within the 54755087 absorbs and dampens these forces, helping maintain proper alignment, reduce noise, and protect connected components.
Because this is a genuine OEM Ingersoll Rand component, the elastomer compound and geometry are engineered specifically for the intended compressor operating characteristics. This ensures predictable damping behavior, consistent torque transmission, and reliable service life under industrial conditions.
