Fail safe coupling for use on reciprocating machinery up to 48,850,000 lbf.ins.
The standard range comprises:
- Flywheel to shaft
- Flywheel to flange
- Shaft to shaft
Applications
- Marine propulsion
- High power generator sets
- Rail traction/Mass transit
Features
- Intrinsically fail safe
- Control of resonant torsional vibration
- Severe shock load protection
- Maintenance free
- Misalignment capability
- Zero backlash
- Noise attenuation
Benefits
- Ensuring continuous operation of the driveline in the unlikely event of rubber damage
- Achieving low vibratory loads in the driveline components by selection of optimum stiffness characteristics
- Avoiding failure of the driveline under short circuit and other transient conditions
- With no lubrication or adjustment required resulting in low running costs
- Allows axial and radical misalignment between driving and driven machines
- Eliminating torque amplifications through pre-compression of the rubber elements
- Giving quiet running conditions in sensitive applications by the elimination of metal to metal contact
Construction
- Available options are : Series 6, Series 8, Series 10, Series 16
- 2,3,4 or 5 rubber elements per cavity are available. Rubber elements up to 15" diameter are manufactured.
- The inner and outer members are manufactured in steel to BS3100 Grade A1
- Some sizes are available in SG iron castings to BS2789 Grade 420/12
