The 46492955 Ingersoll Rand OEM Drive Coupler is an OEM Bowex-style coupling for select Ingersoll Rand portable air compressor platforms. This curved-jaw coupling connects the diesel engine to the compressor airend through interlocking jaw profiles and an elastomeric spider element.
IR portable compressors in the mid-range class use Bowex-style jaw couplings where the compact design fits the driveline packaging. The 46492955 handles the torque and vibration loads of IR portables used in construction, utility, and industrial field service. The spider element is the wear component that requires periodic inspection and replacement.
The 46492955 is a direct OEM replacement. During service, inspect both jaw halves for wear on the jaw profiles and replace the spider. Align per IR’s specifications.
