These are elastomer in compression type couplings. A single piece elastomer (Spider type, Snap-wrap type coupling) is used for low to medium power applications, while individual elastomeric elements are used for high power application
Metal flex couplings are disc type couplings in which several flexible metallic elements are alternately attached with bolts to opposite flanges.
This is one of the oldest designs of elastomeric flexible couplings. Rubber / Polyurethane ( PU ) bushes are used for dampening the shocks & vibrations.
A split tyre is attached to two hubs using adaptor plates held together under bolt load. An optimized fiber reinforced tyre increases the torque carrying capacity without sacrificing flexibility.
hese have wide applications like for Sugar Mill, Distillery Plant, Pump Manufacturing Plant, Gearbox Manufacturing Plant, Paper Mill, Rolling Mill, Process Industry, Mining, Steel Plants etc.
