Tire coupling ELPEX-B®

for diesel enginesfor electric motorstransmission

ELPEX-B tyre couplings are highly flexible and free of torsional backlash. Because of their low torsional stiffness and damping capacity, these couplings are especially suitable for coupling machines with a highly non uniform torque pattern. Suitable for connecting machines with high shaft misalignment. The elastic tire can simply be slipped over the hub parts and held firmly in place by fitting the clamping ring. The connection transmits the torque by frictional engagement. These couplings are designed as shaft-shaft connections. Application-related types can be implemented on request. Suitable for horizontal and vertical mounting positions or mounting positions at any required angle. The elastic tire can be changed without having to move the coupled machines. Fitted without backlash and gives the coupling linear torsional stiffness; the torsional rigidity remains constant as the load on the coupling increases. Especially suitable for reversing operation or operation with changing directions of load. The coupling parts can be arranged as required on the shafts to be connected. If the elastic tyre is irreparably damaged or worn, the metal parts can rotate freely against one another because they are not in contact with one another. 15 sizes with a rated torque of between 24 Nm and 14,500 Nm. The coupling can be fitted with elastic tires made of natural rubber for ambient temperatures of -50°C to +50°C or elastic tires made of chloroprene rubber for -15°C to +70°C. The chloroprene rubber tyre is marked FRAS, "Fire-resistant and Antistatic".
