Mechanical Power Transmission products for Power Generation Sector

Flexible Gear Couplings

High performance and easy in installation manufactured using fully automatic hobbing machine.

Roller Chain Couplings

Roller Chain Flexible Couplings are compact, long lasting flexible couplings, capable of transmitting relatively high torques with minimum of space consumption

Torque Limiter

Nu-Teck torque limiter is a protective device that limits torque transmitted in a drive system by slipping when torque demand exceeds a preset value as a result of shock loads, over loads, or machine jams.

Sprockets

Nu-Teck Sprocket Wheels are manufactured from quality materials. Teeth are hob-cut for correct tooth form, tooth thickness and profile.

Mechanical Power Transmission Products for Power Generation Sector

Power Generation Sector — Thermal, Hydro & Nuclear

In power generation — whether Thermal, Nuclear, or Hydro — the stakes for power transmission are incredibly high. A single coupling failure can lead to a grid-level emergency. These environments require components that can handle extreme RPMs (up to 3,600 RPM in thermal) or massive hydraulic thrust (in hydro).

At Nu-Teck, we provide specialized Gear, Disc and Jaw Couplings, as well as Heavy Duty Gear Pinions and Customized Sprockets, to keep the turbines spinning and the plant running safely.

20 Critical Applications in Power Generation

Application-wise coupling reference for all critical drive points across Thermal, Hydro, Nuclear, and Balance of Plant sections

Application	Nu-Teck Couplings	Description

Thermal Power Plants (Coal-Fired)
Main Steam Turbine Auxiliaries	Nu-Teck Disc Couplings	Connect turbine shaft to the main oil pump or governor — zero-backlash and no-lube design critical for high-speed reliability.
Boiler Feed Pumps (BFP)	Disc Couplings (High-Speed)	Handle thermal expansion and high RPMs (3,000+) of the feed water system without requiring grease.
Wagon Tippler & Side Arm Charger	Gear Pinions & Gear Couplings	Rotate rail wagons 180° for coal unloading — customised segmented sprockets drive the positioning chains.
Coal Pulverizer (Ball/Bowl Mills)	Gear Couplings & Gear Pinions	Handle the immense grinding torque required to pulverise coal into fine powder for combustion.
ID & FD Fans	Grid / Disc Couplings	Provide superior vibration damping and handle the high-speed centrifugal forces of boiler air management fans.
Coal Conveyors	Tyre Couplings & Sprockets	Absorb startup shock of long-distance conveyor belts — induction hardened sprockets drive the coal feeders.
Ash Slurry Pumps	Jaw / Pin & Bush Couplings	Provide a fail-safe connection for pumping highly abrasive fly ash and bottom ash waste slurry.
Hydro-Electric Power Plants
Main Turbine Shaft (Auxiliary Drives)	Disc Couplings	Connect the vertical or horizontal turbine to speed-sensing governors, ensuring precise grid frequency control.
Sluice Gate & Intake Gate Hoists	Gear Pinions, Brake Disc & Brake Drum Couplings	Actuate intake gates and ensure they hold position safely under hydraulic head pressure.
Governor Oil Pumps	Jaw Couplings	Zero-lubrication jaw couplings used in sensitive hydraulic governor circuits for maintenance-free operation.
Trash Rack Cleaners	Sprockets (Customized)	Move the mechanical rakes that continuously clear intake debris and vegetation from the water inlet screens.
Gantry Cranes (Powerhouse)	Brake Drum Gear Couplings	Ensure safe lifting of massive turbine runners during installation and maintenance shutdowns.
Nuclear Power Plants
Primary Coolant Pump Auxiliaries	Disc Couplings (High-Integrity)	Used in backup drive systems where grease lubrication maintenance is restricted due to radiation zones.
Control Rod Drive Mechanisms	Gear Pinions & Jaw Couplings	Facilitate the ultra-precise movement of neutron-absorbing control rods for reactor power regulation.
Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG)	Disc / Pin & Bush Couplings	Connect backup engines to generators with high reliability during rapid-start emergency sequences.
Fuel Handling Machines	Sprockets & Chains	Anti-corrosive coated sprockets and chains move spent fuel rods safely into underwater storage pools.
Containment Ventilation Fans	Grid Couplings	Ensure high-speed stability for critical air filtration fans maintaining safe pressure in containment structures.
Common Utility & Balance of Plant (BoP)
Water Treatment Agitators	Gear Couplings (Vertical Mounted)	Handle the axial thrust loads of vertical mixing blades in water treatment and chemical dosing tanks.
Condensate Extraction Pumps (CEP)	Disc / Tyre Couplings	Allow for the parallel misalignment found in vertically mounted condensate pump units.
Fire Water Pumps	Pin & Bush Couplings	Fail-safe design ensures the pump stays mechanically connected even if the elastomer bushes wear out.

Nu-Teck's Engineering Advantage in Power Generation

Nu-Teck's specialized products are engineered to meet the zero-failure demands of power generation environments — from coal handling to nuclear containment

Coupling / Product Type	Description & Engineering Advantage
Nu-Teck Zero-Maintenance Disc Couplings	High-grade stainless steel spring packs require no lubrication — ideal for install-and-forget applications in high-heat environments, BFPs, and radioactive zones in nuclear plants.
Nu-Teck High-Speed Dynamically Balanced Couplings	All Disc and Gear Couplings balanced to ISO G2.5 or G6.3 for BFPs and ID Fans — protecting expensive turbine bearings from vibration-induced fatigue failure.
Nu-Teck Induction Hardened Gear Pinions	Pinions hardened up to 60 HRC for Wagon Tipplers and Puller-Pusher equipment — engineered for a service life of 10+ years under continuous heavy-duty operation.
Nu-Teck Special Split-Segment Sprockets	Split design allows tooth replacement on Coal Feeders without removing the main drive shaft — cutting maintenance downtime by up to 80% during planned shutdowns.
Nu-Teck Labyrinth-Sealed Gear Couplings	Tortuous path metallic seals keep out abrasive coal dust in the Coal Handling Plant (CHP) — preventing premature gear mesh wear and extending coupling service life.
