End plates or windgate plates are designed to aid a couplings aerodyamics and reduce noise intensity , which can be critical in high speed applications. Pilgrim have provided a number of solutions as part of a package with its bolts.
Windage or end plates are used in couplings for various reasons, often related to the mechanical and aerodynamic performance of the coupling system. The purpose of windage plates are generally known to serve as a protective barrier, reducing the windage losses in rotating machinery. They can help in preventing the air from circulating inside the coupling, which can lead to efficiency losses due to air friction.
Cover plates are also an option to protect the bolt against the elements.
Helps improve Coupling Aerodynamics and combats noise.
Acts as a barrier against ingress of dirt.
Designed specifically to match the bolt design as part of a total supply package..
Pilgrim have a number of solutions from Steel caps to rubber covers
