N-EUPEX Pin Coupling

  • Damping shaft coupling that can be used universally to compensate for shaft misalignment
  • Nominal torque range from TKN = 12 Nm up to 85,000 Nm with 23 sizes
  • Temperature range from -50 °C to +100 °C

New in 2022: The types ERN, B, DKS and TPU elastomers.

Find out more about the three couplings N-EUPEX ERN with a torque limiter for more safety in your drivetrain, N-EUPEX B plus clamping element for increased serviceability, and the shortest double-cardanic N-EUPEX DKS on the market in the TechReport: flender.com/n-eupex-2022.

High-quality solutions for your plant

A wide variety of N-EUPEX types offer optimum coupling solutions for every challenge. Couplings with a double-cardanic design, with a torque limiter, with a clamping element, or short design enrich the extensive modular system of pin couplings. The flexible modular system provides sustainable options that optimize machines and systems and reduce maintenance. A high combination diversity and flexibility are ensured by diverse components.

Robust and proven a million times

Due to their torsional flexibility, N-EUPEX couplings can move critical torsional vibrations away from the operating area of mechanical equipment in such a way that no negative effects on the drive train are to be expected. N-EUPEX couplings are made of high-quality cast iron. The flexible elements made of synthetic rubber (NBR) are available in different degrees of hardness for many applications. In addition, elastomers made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and of NBR with fabric inserts for increased load-bearing capacity are offered. Metal pins and flexible elements are designed so that no wear occurs when they are properly fitted.

Did you know?

Original FLENDER elastomers ensure the optimal operation of your system. The flexible elements of the N-EUPEX coupling are subject to compression. If the flexible elements are irreparably damaged, the hub parts come into contact with metal. This “emergency operation capability” is required, e.g., in the case of fire pump drives.
