TEX-O-Flex : Elastomer coupling

TEX-O-flex PTP Industry

Accouplement flexible à tampons TEX-O-flex

In its standard version, the TEX-O-flex coupling consists of 3 parts:

The female part is made of cast iron and is provided with resilient flexible elements made of EPDM.
The male hub consitsting in a hub is also made of cast iron connected to the claw ring, again made of high quality spheroidal graphite cast iron.

The flexible elements are loaded in compression and shear simultaneously, providing high elasticity of up to 5° at nominal torque in an ambient temperature of +20° C.

Their allowable ambient temperature range is from -30°C to +80°C.

Features | Benefits

Elements working under Shear & Compression => High dampening of vibration in small envelope
High flexibility => Copes with large misalignment values
Fusible element => Protects connected equipments
3-part design available => To easily disconnect equipments
Spacer used with standard 3-Part design => Reduced inventory

Versions

Three-Part design type D3 (standard)
Two-part design type D2
Spacer design type DS
SAE flange version type SF

The elasticity of the TEX-O-flex coupling is linked to the proven shape of its elastic elements and their accurate positioning in the Female half . As a result, axial loads on bearings are severely reduced and forces created by radial, axial and angular misalgnment are neutralized.

DS Version : with spacer.

A spacer is inserted between the two parts of of the male half.

This design, based on standard components, allows various Distance Between Shaft Ends as required, typically, on pump drives. It allows is the dismantling of the driven rotor without shaft displacement.
