THE RIGHT RA­DIAL FAN WITH COU­PLING DRIVE TO MEET YOUR NEEDS The radial fan is the core com­po­nent and dri­ving force of any ven­ti­la­tion sys­tem. In this case, the drive takes the form of an elas­tic cou­pling act­ing on the in­ter­me­di­ate shaft – with­out the kind of up­stream trans­mis­sion that would be found on a belt drive. In sit­u­a­tions in­volv­ing larger di­men­sions, the fan com­po­nents can be em­bed­ded into a con­crete foun­da­tion in­stead of a steel bracket. THE SPE­CIAL FEA­TURES OF RA­DIAL FANS WITH COU­PLING DRIVE Ra­dial fans with cou­pling drive can be used in di­verse ap­pli­ca­tions across a range of in­dus­tries and sec­tors. This type of fan is par­tic­u­larly well suited to sit­u­a­tions in­volv­ing high mo­tor power. The cou­pling (gen­er­ally a claw cou­pling with an elas­tic in­sert) can ab­sorb shocks and tor­sional vi­bra­tions, thus pro­tect­ing the ma­te­r­ial. Fur­ther­more, an off­set (an­gu­lar, par­al­lel or ax­ial off­set) be­tween the mo­tor shaft and in­ter­me­di­ate shaft can be com­pen­sated to a cer­tain ex­tent, which means that the mo­tor is rel­a­tively easy to dis­mount. If, for ex­am­ple, dam­age oc­curs, process down­time is kept to a min­i­mum as the mo­tor can be re­placed quickly.
