ELPEX couplings are highly torsionally flexible and free of torsional backlash. Because of their low torsional stiffness and damping capacity.
They are especially suitable for coupling machines with a very non-uniform torque pattern.
Also suitable for connecting machines with high shaft misalignment.
Standard ELPEX coupling types are designed as shaft to shaft connections or flange to shaft connections. Application-related types can be implemented on request.
The ELPEX coupling is available in 9 sizes with a nominal torque of between 1600 Nm and 90,000 Nm. Suitable for ambient temperatures of between -40°C and +80°C.
These coupling is frequently used for high-quality drives which have to guarantee very long service life in harsh operating conditions. Examples of applications are mill drives in the cement industry, marine main and secondary drives or drives on large excavators powered by an electric motor or diesel engine.
