Flexible coupling: disc coupling with spacer
max. 2 863 Nm | Metastream® ZMH series John Crane

Metastream® Radial spoke form membrane coupling with composite spacer element for long DBSE applications. Computer controlled, filament wound, matrix torque tube with stainless steel hubs, hardware and disc packs
Up to 80% lighter than comparable welded metal torque tubes and corrosion resistant to cooling tower environment, temperatures up to 300oF
Mechanical fit of torque to flanges offers superior reliability and tube design virtually eliminates thermal expansion and sag.

Design Features

* Computer controlled, filament wound, matrix torque tube with stainless steel hubs, hardware and disc packs
* Suitable for vertical line shafts without excessive loads on the membranes
* Inherent balance to AGMA Class 9
* Eliminates intermediate bearings for shaft separation (DBSE) to over 6 metres
* Ease of installation - no crane required
* Minimum down-time, optimum reliability
