Torsionally-elastic Fenaflex tyre couplings offer different flange
combinations to ensure flexibility in any pump application.
Flanitaly stone crushing plantges are available in either F or H taper-classifier in manganese beneficiation plantlock fittiused bauxite crushing equipmentngs or bored
down to size.
The couplings, used with a spacer flange, make room for the
distance between shaft-ends and facilitate easy pump
maintenance.
“The couplings can accommodate simultaneous maximum
misalignment in planes without imposing undue loads on adjacent
bearings,” says Keith van Wyk, director of Bearing
Man’s power-transmission ironware division.
“The flexing tyre of this coupling reduces torsional
vibration, suppresses the initial shockload and eliminates stresses
common to power-driven machinery like centri-fugal compressors and
pumps, machine tools, metal presses, mills, winches and
fans,” he continues.
“The torsionally-soft feature of the couplings prevents
costly breakdowns and extends machine life.” According to Van
Wyk, lubrication of the tyre couplings is unnecessary because they
have no moving parts, and only a periodic visual inspection is
required.
The couplings, manufactured from natural rubber compounds, can
withstand operational temperatures of between –50
