Mechanical overload clutch KE

For high speed drives (over 500 rpm) low inertia rubber elastic couplings are offered to enable quiet operation with torsional elasticity to damp vibration and absorb shock loads. The ES Couplings consists of two close grained cast iron jaws with hard rubber drive elements interposed between them, retained by a reinforced thermoplastic cap. The KE Coupling also has close grained cast iron jaws with a Pebax Polyester elastomeric gear ring interspaced to damp vibration and torsional loads. This series can be provided with taper-bore bushes on the coupling end. The KE Coupling provides a lower cost solution.
