Flexible coupling EUROGRIP®

transmissionshaftsengine

Gates® EuroGrip® Flexible Couplings are developed to transmit torque to drive engine accessories and to dampen vibrations between two connected shafts, they relieve the stress that would result from a rigid coupling on applications where these 2 shafts are subject to misalignment and axial movement. Furthermore, they connect a decoupler pulley or a one-way clutch and accessory. Controls damping characteristics and provides excellent long-term ageing resistance. Glass fibre cord provides excellent dimensional stability at high rotational speeds. Lubricated jacket minimises coupling and end piece wear and retains tooth integrity. THE ART OF MATERIAL SCIENCE EuroGrip® Couplers build on Gates decades of innovation in material science. The composite technology includes Glass fibre cord to provide superior stability at high RPM. Fibre-loaded cured HNBR increases torque transmission, controls dampening characteristics, and provides durability for the life of the engine. The lubricated jacket reduces component wear and retains tooth integrity. All of this culminates in a high quality OE solution for precise automotive power transmission applications. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Fibre-loaded HNBR construction maximises torque transmission capability and controls damping. Predictable shear properties allow for component protection. Excellent dimensional stability at high rotational speeds. Flexible design accommodates component misalignment. Designed for specific VW and Volvo vehicles.
