Flexible coupling - Tyre coupling
Tyre couplings are highly flexible and free of torsional backlash. Because of their low torsional stiffness and damping capacity, Tyre couplings are especially suitable for coupling machines with a highly non uniform torque pattern. These tyre couplings are also suitable for connecting machines with high shaft misalignment. The elastic tyre can simply be slipped over the hub parts. The elastic tyre is held firmly in place by fitting the clamping ring. The connection transmits the torque by frictional engagement. Standard tyre coupling types are designed as shaft to shaft connections.
Available as a standard in 15 sizes with a rated torque of between 24 Nm and 14,500 Nm. The coupling can be fitted with elastic tyres made of natural rubber for ambient temperatures of -50°C to +50°C and with elastic tyres made of chloroprene rubber for -15°C to +70°C. The chloroprene rubber tyre is marked FRAS, "Fire-resistant and Antistatic".
