How Co-Axial
Couplings Work
The co-axial coupling consists of three parts. The
outer hub consists of a series of rare earth magnets
that are ground, potted and attached to the inside
diameter of a steel hub. The inner hub consists of
a series of rare earth magnets that are ground, potted
and attached to the outside diameter of a steel rotor.
The inner hub is then completely sealed in stainless
steel to protect the magnets and rotor from damage
or corrosive substances. Typically there is a radial
air gap of up to .275” (7mm) between the inner
and outer hubs. Conventional bores and keyways are
used to drive the inner and outer hubs.
Note: The dimensions
and ratings for all co-axial type couplings are shown using
only NdFeB type rare earth magnets. Ratings and dimensions
may vary for the SmCo versions.

Optional
Containment Barrier
An optional stainless steel barrier can be used
to separate the atmosphere or fluids surrounding
the inner and outer hubs. This eliminates the
need for a rotating shaft seal. Both standard
and custom barrier designs up to 75 hp are available.
All sizes over MTC-10-SB are made to order.
All designed applications are economically produced,
even in small quantities.

The MTC-0.1 through -10 containment shells are 316
stainless, and are rated to a minimum of 450 psi.
Containment shells for other sizes are made to order
and are rated according to customer requirements.
