In dusty areas the small grains that slip between the plates during the operation of the coupling cause unexpected breakages. Technical department ofFV-KUPPLUNG has developed a new solution to protect transmission couplings from dust.
The plastic film wraps the plates and protects them from dirt and external agents. The grains of abrasive powder will no longer fit between the plates. The cover is highly elastic, resistant to abrasion and does not affect the correct functioning of the coupling.
This new technology, extremely economical, is able to increase the service life of your mechanical transmissions.
Connect two shafts with minimum distance between shaft ends (DBSE) may be problematic if you want to use a torsionally rigid disc coupling.
The available distance does not allow inserting a spacer between the shafts. The spacer is required to allow the installation of two plates packs that can absorb a parallel (radial) misalignment. In fact, with only one plates group, only axial and angular deviations can be compensated.
Many manufacturers have designed couplings, with a special design, can fit two packs, thus ensuring full flexibility of the system. Most of these construction forms do not, however, replace the plates without disassembling or removing the connected machinery.
