Flexible Coupling with Disc (FCD)
The flexible coupling is supplied with disc and brake systems to allow for safe stopping of a drive.
The FCD is used to transmit power or torque from one shaft to another via an elastic intermediate ring,
compensating for minor amounts of misalignment.
It also provides protective functions such as vibration dampening or noise reduction.
It can be used in a wide variety of machines, from general industrial drives to high speed applications with high dynamic loads. They are designed with
small dimensions, low weight and low mass moments of
inertia yet transmitting high torques.
Five parts design allows for replacement of the elastic intermediate ring or the brake disc without moving any equipment.
Large selection of coupling sizes and brake discs available.
The jaws, holding the spider insert are subject to pressure only (min bending stress), which allows the teeth to accept higher loads.
Spider type, intermediate ring is resistant to scientifically higher
temperatures and has considerably longer service life.
