Highly flexible H couplings are especially well suited for pump power distributors and converter gear units. These couplings feature two damping systems working in parallel: a spring-mass system and a viscous-hydraulic damping system. These couplings are very compact, temperature-resistant, and highly versatile.
H couplings dampen torsional vibrations and torque shocks in the driveline. The operational stability and service life of your system or your vehicle are increased, which in turn increases availability and reduces life cycle costs of ownership.
Advantages and benefits
The viscous-hydraulic damping system operates using a temperature-resistant damping grease. The damping effect increases proportionally to the coupling's angle of twist. This means that severe torsional vibrations, such as those which occur when turning a motor on and off or during load surges, also lead to a greater damping effect. This gives the coupling optimal damping behavior across the entire nominal speed range.
During operating condition the isolation system of the H Coupling becomes active: within the defined backlash range of the damping ring, vibrations are absorbed and isolated. As a resulted, optimum vibration isolation is ensured even in the lower operating speed range.
Resonance speeds are shifted into non-critical speed ranges. The system runs quieter, increasing comfort when operating the equipment or vehicle.
