Flexible coupling: elastomer coupling
Cross & Morse
The KE coupling is a general-purpose flexible coupling, fully interchangeable with the standard couplings frequently used throughout the industry. The coupling consists of two machined cast iron hubs connected by an elastomeric gear ring. Available in 8 basic sizes, with torque capacity to 3300 Nm, the KE coupling provides positive power transmission between shafts, combined with the ability to absorb shock loads and accommodate moderate levels of misalignment. Low to medium speed, 7,700 rpm maximum speed.
Elastomeric Couplings - Type GE - with spider inserts
The GE series of flexible couplings consist of two machined metal hubs connected by an elastomeric gear ring. The couplings are equally suited to horizontal or vertical shaft applications, providing positive power transmission and absorbing torsional, vibration and impact loads. The standard elastomeric ring is a black thermoplastic rubber of 94 shore a hardness selected for its resistance to wear, oil, chemicals, ozone and hydrolysis, which makes it suitable for tropical climates.
For increased torsional rigidity two alternative gear rings are available, both of 96 Shore; a red thermoplastic rubber element, and a yellow polyurethane element recommended for the Aluminium Hubs.
