Tire coupling ELPEX

for excavatorshighly-elasticflange

Highly flexible, backlash-free tire coupling Nominal torque range from TKN = 1,600 Nm up to 90,000 Nm with 9 sizes Temperature range: from –40 °C to +80 °C Flexible and adaptable Owing to its low torsional stiffness and damping properties the ELPEX® coupling is very well suited to connecting machines with considerably non-uniform torque characteristics. Types with a fail-safe device between the flexible rings ensure emergency operation if the flexible rings are destroyed. Your benefits at a glance Suitable for high dynamic loads Good damping properties Available as a fail-safe coupling Available as a shaft and flange coupling Designs available that comply with API 610 and API 671 Made in Germany, worldwide in use For drives with periodically excited systems, such as Internal combustion engines Piston compressors Piston pumps For drives subject to high shock loads or large shaft misalignments, for example in Compressors Excavators Shredders Moreover suitable for Mining and Cement: tube mills, vertical mills, crushers Steel Production: shears, straightening machines, reversing rolling mills, pilger rolling mills Sugar: sugar cane mills Did you know? The ELPEX coupling’s transmission characteristics are determined essentially by the flexible rings. These flexible rings are manufactured from a natural rubber blend with a multi-ply fabric lining. They are split so that they can be changed without having to move the coupled machines.
