ELPEX Elastic Ring Coupling
The highly flexible and ELPEX coupling from FLENDER is a backlash-free tire coupling and is particularly convincing due to its flexibility and adaptability.
Due to its damping capacity, the ELPEX coupling is perfectly suited for applications with a very uneven torque curve. In addition, the ELPEX coupling can also be ordered with an installed fail-safe device between the elastic rings, which ensures emergency operation if the elastic ring is destroyed.
The elastomers of the ELPEX couplings are split, thus ensuring replacement without lengthy assembly or time-consuming moving of the coupled machine.
CONSTRUCTION SHAPES of the ELPEX coupling:
