REICH Rubber couplings – Highly flexible precision for modern drives
Rubber couplings from REICH are among the indispensable connecting elements in common power transmission systems. When it comes to operating drive systems smoothly and efficiently, the manufacturer from Bochum is a safe choice. The clutch manufacturer REICH sets new standards with innovative solutions such as the ARCUSAFLEX®and the MULTI MONT SELLA sets standards in drive technology. This article will explain what makes these products so special and why they are the first choice for many applications.
REICH - Drive technology since 1946
Since 1946, the Bochum-based company REICH has been offering a wide range of drive technology and torsionally flexible couplings for machines and systems in many industries. Especially in the mobile and stationary field of combustion engines, REICH rubber couplings and drive systems are the perfect choice. The company looks back on many years of experience in the development and manufacture of rubber components and perfects its products using state-of-the-art software and innovative production technologies.
What are rubber couplings and what are they used for?
Rubber couplings connect two rotating machine components with each other. Couplings play an important role in the transmission of power between the components:
Power transmissionRubber couplings reliably transmit torque from one shaft to the other. This ensures even and efficient power transmission.
DampingThanks to their elastic properties, rubber couplings reduce vibrations and shocks. This increases the service life of the machines and improves operational safety.
FlexibilityThe coupling solutions compensate for small misalignments between the components and thus minimize mechanical stress and wear.
These versatile properties make rubber couplings indispensable in a wide range of applications, from power generation to industrial manufacturing.
Two REICH rubber couplings presented in more detail
ARCUSAFLEX® - The highly torsionally flexible flange coupling
Two of the products from REICH are presented in more detail below: the highly flexible ARCUSAFLEX® and the torsionally flexible claw coupling MULTI MONT SELLA.
ARCUSAFLEX® – The highly torsionally flexible flange coupling
The ARCUSAFLEX® flange coupling is axially pluggable and torsionally flexible. The direct plug-in connection to the coupling flange is particularly form-fit and almost backlash-free. This enables torque transmission without misalignment – even with alternating directions of rotation. In addition, there is impressive damping of the vibrations and shocks that occur during power transmission.
The features of the highly flexible rubber disk coupling at a glance:
Highly torsionally elastic: Minimization of torsional vibrations, protection against damage, vibration-free power transmission
Axially pluggableEasy installation and maintenance
Robust and durable: High-quality workmanship, best materials, long service life even with demanding use
Areas of application for the highly elastic ARCUSAFLEX®
The ARCUSAFLEX® rubber coupling is primarily used in machines that are driven by combustion engines. Couplings are extremely safe connecting elements wherever low-vibration and reliable torque transmission is required in industry. ARCUSAFLEX® works reliably and safely in various types of gearboxes, compressors, generators and pump systems in shipbuilding, power generation, rail vehicles such as locomotives, construction machinery, mining and other areas of industry and heavy industry.
MULTI MONT SELLA - The flexible claw coupling
The MULTI MONT SELLA is a heavy-duty, torsionally flexible claw coupling that is pluggable and therefore easy to install. This rubber coupling from REICH can also be fitted with a brake disk or brake drum.
The features at a glance:
Effective damping of shocks and vibrations and increased service life of machine parts thanks to torsional elasticity
Versatile application options thanks to modular design
Also suitable for drives with special safety requirements thanks to additional brake integration
Areas of application for the MULTI MONT SELLA rubber coupling from REICH
The REICH rubber coupling MULTI MONT SELLA is primarily used in heavy industry and mechanical engineering. In conveyor system technology, the coupling solution excels both by providing frictionless power transmission and by functioning as a brake unit. MULTI MONT SELLA couplings can also be found in auxiliary units and auxiliary drives on board ships, in production plants and ventilation systems as well as in generators for power generation or in pump drives for water supply.
