ELPEX FLEXIBLE RING COUPLING

• Highly flexible, backlash-free tire coupling
• Nominal torque range from TKN = 1,600 Nm up to 90,000 Nm with 9 sizes
• Temperature range: from -40 °C to +80 °C

Flexible and adaptable

Owing to its low torsional stiffness and damping properties the ELPEX coupling is very well suited to connecting machines with considerably non-uniform torque characteristics. Types with a fail-safe device between the flexible rings ensure emergency operation if the flexible rings are destroyed.

Your benefits at a glance

• Suitable for high dynamic loads
• Good damping properties
• Available as a fail-safe coupling
• Available as a shaft and flange coupling
• Designs available that comply with API 610 and API 671

Made in Germany, worldwide in use

For drives with periodically excited systems, such as

• Internal combustion engines
• Piston compressors
• Piston pumps

For drives subject to high shock loads or large shaft misalignments, for example in

• Compressors
• Excavators
• Shredders

Moreover suitable for

• Mining and Cement: tube mills, vertical mills, crushers
• Steel Production: shears, straightening machines, reversing rolling mills, pilger rolling mills
• Sugar: sugar cane mills

Did you know?

The ELPEX coupling's transmission characteristics are determined essentially by the flexible rings. These flexible rings are manufactured from a natural rubber blend with a multi-ply fabric lining. They are split so that they can be changed without having to move the coupled machines.
