TOOLFLEX®
The TOOLFLEX metal bellows coupling with a stainless steel bellows (available in two different lengths), is a torsionally stiff and flexible coupling (all-metal coupling), for a wide range of applications and installation situations. The coupling hubs of the TOOLFLEX coupling are made of aluminium and are available in various designs. For sizes 55 and 65 and type KN the coupling hubs are made of steel.
In the case of angular torque transmission, the metal bellows ensures optimum compensation of axial, radial and angular misalignments.
In addition to its resistance to media influences and critical operating conditions, the TOOLFLEX metal bellows coupling has a high torsional stiffness and a low mass moment of inertia
