Claw coupling HADEFLEX®

shaft

The flexible Hadeflex® couplings are claw couplings with a flexible element to provide a torsionally flexible connection for shafts. The flexible elements excel in their wear resistance, their oil, ozone and ageing resistance and their temperature resistance from –20 °C to +80 °C. Thanks to their flexibility, impacts, rotary vibrations and noises are effectively absorbed. The flexible elements are dimensioned such that radial, axial and angular movements between the two halves of the coupling are cancelled out. The flexible Hadeflex® couplings are of the plug-in type for installation and do not involve any particularly rigorous requirements with respect to alignment accuracy. Hadeflex® couplings can be used in the whole of machine construction wherever a reliable shaft connection is needed between motor and working machine. TYPE X The Hadeflex® version X coupling is fail-safe up to the fracture moment of the cast iron transmission cam and this provides maximum operational safety. The coupling star can be supplied with hardness 92 Shore A and 98 Shore A. With the fixed position of the coupling star its deformability in axial direction is free, and so no damaging axial forces can act on the machine bearing even with alternating torque. TYPE TX – WITH TAPER BUSH The Hadeflex® version TX coupling combines the outstanding features of the flexible couplings with the advantages of the taper bush system: fast and easy installation for a torsionally flexible connection between shafts and elimination of shaft balancing errors.
