Fenaflex®
These highly elastic lubrication free couplings tolerate large amounts of misalignment in all planes as well as offering simple installation and inspection without disrupting the drive. The Fenaflex® coupling also has excellent shock absorbing properties while reducing vibration and torsional oscillations.
- Simple time saving installation - motor and machine remains undisturbed whilst tyre is changed.
- Large misalignment capability, 4° angular, up to 6mm parallel and 8mm axial.
- Very good shock absorption - couplings "wind-up" approx. 12° at maximum torque to absorb shocks in a system.
- Internal load carrying cords are wound in both directions, so there is no problem on reversing drives.
- Complete freedom from backlash, ideal for reversing applications, especially with geared drives.
- Excellent at solving torsional vibration problems, as alternative stiffness tyres are available.
- Tyres are available in standard and FRAS (Fire Resistant Anti-Static) construction - so no static build up of electricity and fire resistant.
- Compact design with TaperLock™ fixing and short length TaperLock™ bushes.
- Larger T/L's available on certain 'F' flanges to increase maximum bore capacity.
- Also available in Spacer and Flywheel types.
- Lubrication free shaft coupling.
- Visual inspection of tyre to detect wear - no machine strip down.
- All Tyres are produced in the UK - Improved availability and consistent high quality.
- Wide variation of flanges available: TaperLock™, Pilot Bored, Spacer etc.
- Design Powers to 900kW at 1440 rpm
