Abstract

A coupling for a molten metal processing system to provide coupling for rotor/shaft systems which has a heat break to prevent heat flow to a motor. A cross sectional area reduction provides a restriction which reduces heat transmission through a conductive material to restrict heat flow to a motor, which will ultimately extend the life of the motor.
