Flexible element comprising a variable number of flexible bushes, depending on the torque to be transmitted.
1 Inner with tapped or smooth holes (normal mounting or on fly wheel).
2 Precompressed natural rubber bonded to inner 1 and to outer the half-cylinders 3.
3 Half-cylinders bonded to the rubber.
4 Outer housing ensuring precompression of rubber by exerting pressure on the half-cylinders 3.
Steel disks:
5 Flange to which the inner studs are attached (normal mounting).
6 Disk to which the studs are attached (flywheel mounting).
Die cast steel hubs:
7 The two hubs are identical. They may be bolted to disks 5 or 6 depending on the mounting used.
The AXOFLEX coupling is designed with the following features:
– Radial disassembly without moving the machines that are coupled (usually very large machines).
– Precompression of the rubber which limits operation under tension.
Advantages:
Good axial flexibility which allows great axial displacement, for example in the case of conical rotor machines.
Flexible element 1: polyurethane in the form of a Maltese cross.
Flange 2: cast iron with drive segments 3 supplied unbored (except633054 and 633055).
Variations : For assemblies with a ring or spacer, consult our technical manuals.
Flexible element:
1 Metallic bobbins linked together by rayon fibres.
2 The whole unit 1 is potted in natural rubber and is hexagonal.
Flange 3: forged steel.
Flexible element comprising:
1 Natural rubber in the form of a cross.
2 A floating aluminium star, whose arms are bonded to the rubber.
Mountings:
3 Two aluminium bosses, bonded to the rubber, which will be attached to one of the machines.
4 Two aluminium bosses, bonded to the rubber, which will be attached to the other machine.
5 Band for precompressing the rubber before assembly.
Two retaining bars are supplied although not shown in the photo.
Flexible element:
1 Precompressed natural rubber
2 Bonded metal spacers,
3 Precompression band (to be removed after installation).
Flange:
4 Die-cast steel (except 632320 which is cast-iron).
