Flexible jaw-type and bolt couplings compensate for non-uniform rotary movements. The use of torsionally flexible couplings reduces vibrations or impacts from one shaft to the other. They thereby guarantee power transmission whilst damping torsional vibrations and absorb shocks produced by the uneven operation of certain power machines.
ROTEX®
ROTEX® couplings are characterised by their small dimensions, low weight and low mass moments of inertia yet transmit high torques. They are torsionally flexible and transmit the torque in a positive-fit manner. The precise machining of these couplings has a positive impact on their running quality and also improves the service life of the coupling. Vibrations and shocks are effectively damped and absorbed.
The two congruent coupling halves with concave claws on the inside are peripherally offset in relation to one another by half a pitch. In addition, they are design so as to enable an involute spider to be inserted. The teeth of the spider are crowned to avoid edge pressure if the shafts are misaligned.
ROTEX® couplings are capable of compensating for axial, radial and angular displacements of the connected shafts. The material of the T-PUR® coupling material is available in three degrees of hardness. Unlike other flexible couplings, the intermediate members of which are subject to bending stresses, the flexible teeth of ROTEX® couplings are only subjected to pressure. This means that the individual teeth can accept considerably higher loads.
Properties:
- Flexibly vibration-damping
- Axial plug-in, simple to assemble
- Fail-safe
- Torques up to 35,000 Nm
- Maintenance-free, simple visual inspection
- Teeth material: T-PUR®
