Novus Gear N-Flex PCI Couplings

Novus Gear’ N-Flex PCI couplings offer a general purpose, cost effective range, which is manufactured in SG iron for torques up to 60 kN.m.

The Standard Range Comprises

• Shaft to shaft
• Shaft to shaft with increased shaft engagement

Applications for Electric Drives only

• Rubber processing and plastics industry
• Fluid transmission industry
• Material Handling
• Cranes & Hoists
• Metal manufacture
• Bulk handling
• Pulp and paper industry
• General purpose industrial applications

Features

• Intrinsically fail safe
• Control of resonant torsional vibration
• Maintenance free
• Severe shock load protection
• Misalignment capability
• Zero backlash
• Low cost

Benefits

• Ensuring continuous operation of the drive-line in the unlikely event of rubber damage
• Achieving low vibratory loads in the drive-line characteristics
• With no lubrication or adjustment required resulting in low lifetime costs
• Avoiding failure of the drive-line under short circuit and other transient conditions
• Allows axial and radial misalignment between the driving and driven machines
• Eliminates torque amplifications through pre-compression of the rubber elements

Construction Details

• Spheroidal graphite to BS 1563 Grade 400 / 15
• Separate rubber elements with a standard SM 80 shore hardness
• Rubber elements are totally enclosed and loaded in compression
