LCD-0075-47 Sullair OEM Drive Coupler | Genuine High-Performance Compressor Coupling

The LCD-0075-47-C OEM Drive Coupler is an original equipment coupling designed for use in industrial rotary screw air compressor drive systems. This component connects the drive motor to the compressor air-end, allowing rotational energy to be transferred efficiently while absorbing vibration and compensating for minor shaft misalignment.

In rotary screw compressors, the drive coupler is a critical mechanical interface. Improper damping, incorrect elastomer stiffness, or dimensional mismatch can result in excessive vibration, accelerated bearing wear, shaft damage, or air-end failure. The LCD-0075-47-C is manufactured to OEM requirements to ensure proper fitment, balance, and long-term reliability.

This coupler is engineered for continuous-duty compressor environments where load variation, temperature fluctuation, and vibration are present.

Key Features and Benefits

• Genuine OEM Drive Coupler – Manufactured to original equipment specifications for correct fit and performance

• Elastomeric Flexible Design – Absorbs torsional vibration and dampens shock loads

• Smooth Torque Transmission – Provides stable, backlash-free power transfer between motor and air-end

• Misalignment Compensation – Accommodates angular, axial, and parallel shaft misalignment

• Heavy-Duty Construction – Designed for continuous-run industrial compressor service

• Protective Drive Function – Helps safeguard motors, air-ends, bearings, and seals from overload stress

• Low Maintenance Operation – Lubrication-free design supports long service intervals

Functional Design and Performance

The LCD-0075-47-C utilizes a resilient elastomer element bonded to precision-machined metal hubs. This configuration allows the coupler to function as a torsional buffer, isolating vibration and transient load spikes before they are transmitted into the compressor drive train.

During startup, shutdown, and load changes, rotary screw compressors generate torsional shock that can place excessive stress on shafts and bearings. The elastomer element within the LCD-0075-47-C absorbs these forces, maintaining alignment and reducing mechanical noise.

Because this coupler is manufactured to OEM standards, the elastomer hardness, bonding method, and hub geometry are matched exactly to the operating characteristics of the compressor. This ensures predictable damping behavior and consistent performance over the life of the component.

Applications and Compatibility

The LCD-0075-47-C OEM Drive Coupler is commonly used in:

• Rotary screw air compressors

• Industrial compressed air systems

• Motor-to-air-end drive assemblies

• Compressor rebuilds and scheduled maintenance programs

This coupler is intended as a direct OEM replacement for the original factory-installed unit. Using the correct OEM coupler helps maintain proper alignment, vibration control, and protection of critical compressor components.

Performance Advantages of Using OEM

Using the LCD-0075-47-C OEM coupler ensures your compressor drive system operates exactly as designed. Aftermarket or generic couplers often differ in elastomer stiffness or dimensional tolerances, which can introduce excessive vibration or misalignment.

This OEM coupler delivers consistent torque transmission, reduces stress on connected components, and helps extend the service life of bearings, shafts, and air-ends. For critical compressed air applications, using the correct OEM drive coupler is essential to maintaining uptime and reliability.
