The Generator Coupling Shaft for Francis turbines is a key
Transmission Component connecting the turbine main shaft to the generator rotor. It ensures efficient torque transfer while maintaining precise alignment between rotating systems under demanding load and speed conditions.
Designed with high torsional strength, fatigue resistance, and long-term cyclic stability, the coupling shaft is engineered with strict control of concentricity, runout tolerance, and dynamic balance, effectively minimizing vibration and reducing bearing wear throughout long-term operation.
The Generator Coupling Shaft for Francis turbines is produced through a controlled, traceable process to ensure reliability and precise turbine–generator fit.
1, Material Inspection: Verify Alloy Steel composition, mechanical properties, and dimensions.
2, Cutting & Pre-Heating: Cut to length (≤5 m) and uniformly preheat for consistent structure.
3, Forging & Inspection: Shape shaft and coupling; check dimensions and surfaces.
4, Heat Treatment: Enhance strength and toughness; apply stress relief if needed.
5, Machining: Rough, semi-finish, and precision CNC Machining for critical dimensions and interfaces.
6, Testing & Inspection: Ultrasonic checks, dimensional verification, hardness tests, and balancing.
7, Marking & Packaging: Traceable marking, cleaning, corrosion protection, secure packaging, and storage.
The Francis Turbine Generator Coupling Shaft is designed to provide precise torque transmission between the turbine main shaft and the generator rotor.
