Flexible coupling: gear coupling
max. 270 000 Nm | GEARex® series KTR

According to the operating principle of the well-known crowned gear edge pressure in the spline is avoided in case of angular and radial displacements. Moreover, permanent grease lubrication produces a better friction ratio of the spline with an operation almost free from wear along with a long service life of the coupling.
In order to ensure a regular and verified lubrication in assembled condition, two connections for hydraulics are arranged opposite to each other radially on each coupling sleeve. As a result a complete GEAREX® coupling has four connections being offset to each other by 90°.
The interior of the coupling is sealed by means of toroidal sealing rings (NBR 70 ShA).
The feather keys have to be sealed against escape of lubricants during the assembly.

Explosion protection use

GEAREX® couplings are suitable for power transmission in drives in hazardous areas. The couplings are certified and confirmed according to EC standard 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) as units of category 2G/2D and thus suitable for the use in hazardous areas of zone 1, 2, 21 and 22.
