Novus Gear N-Flex PM Couplings
Specially designed for heavy industrial applications Novus Gear's N-Flex PM range of couplings provides exceptional protection against severe shock loads and vibration.
Applications
- Metal manufacture
- Mining and mineral processing
- Pumps
- Fans
- Compressors
- Cranes and hoists
- Pulp and paper industry
- General heavy duty industrial applications
Features
- Severe shock load protection
- Intrinsically fail safe
- Maintenance free
- Vibration control
- Zero backlash
- Misalignment capability
- Low cost
Benefits
- Gives protection and avoids failure of the driveline under high transient torques.
- Ensures continuous operation of the driveline in the unlikely event of rubber failure or damage.
- With no lubrication or adjustment required resulting in low running costs.
- Achieves low vibratory loads in the driveline components by selection of optimum stiffness characteristics.
- Eliminates torque amplifications through pre compression of the rubber elements.
- Allows axial and radial misalignment between the driving and driven machines.
Construction Details
- PM Couplings up to PM 40 are made out of special grade of S.G. Iron. Couplings from PM 60 to PM 600 are made of steel casting
- Separate rubber elements with a choice of grade and hardness, styrene butadiene with 60 shore hardness (Sm60) being the standard.
- Rubber elements loaded in compression.
- Rubber elements are totally enclosed.
