Designed to connect and protect the center drive gear motor and final drive gearboxes

Standard Coupler

The UMC® Standard Coupler is a shock-attenuating drive connection between the center drive gear motor and final drive gearbox. It has been the industry standard for over 30 years on new systems from Original Equipment Manufacturers. It is available in a variety of sizes and configurations to fit any brand of center pivot.

The UMC® Standard Coupler is designed to connect the center drive gear motor to the final drive gearboxes. In addition to connecting these critical drive train components the coupler acts as both a torque dampener to absorb start up torque from the gear motor and as a fuse to protect the other critical drive train components in an overload condition.

Features and Benefits

  • Shock-attenuating puck insert ensures smoother starts and stops, extending the lifespan of the final drive gearbox
  • Acts as a fuse to safeguard other critical powertrain components during overload conditions
  • Alignment rod secures the insert and maintains alignment under extreme loads
  • Urethane insert offers superior UV and chemical resistance, ensuring environmental stability
  • Grooved insert option easily converts any coupler for towable applications
  • UMC SQUEX-bolts (Square-Neck, Hex-Head) feature a unique anti-rotation design, enabling quick, single-wrench assembly
  • Curved insert pressure pads adjust for misalignment, ensuring optimal performance
  • Proven reliability with over 30 years of successful use
UMC® pioneered the introduction of the shock-attenuating coupler with a flexible insert, revolutionizing gearbox durability and dramatically reducing drivetrain maintenance.
