Double flex couplings are compensating couplings for the torsionally
flexible transmission of torque. The double flex coupling consists of two
identical coupling halves, each with a soft material ring, which are loosely
pushed into each other in the axial direction. With this coupling, the static
and dynamic forces resulting from the torque and the shaft displacements are
distributed over two soft material rings, which are essentially only subjected
to compressive stress that is evenly distributed. Any relative movement between
the bolt and the soft material ring resulting from angular and parallel
displacements of the coupled shafts is expressed partly in sliding movements at
the contact points and partly as fibre displacement in the soft material rings.
The flexing due to the fiber displacement and the wear (abrasion) caused by the sliding movement are kept within permissible limits. Due to the identical coupling halves, the forces resulting from the torque are absorbed by both of the soft-material rings, which are therefore the reason we achieve good torsional elasticity and flexibility properties of the double-flex coupling.
Unless
otherwise specified when ordering, the double flex couplings are drilled to ISO
H7. Grooves for parallel keys DIN 6885-1 or keys DIN 6886.
Balancing
protocols according to DIN 21940 are available on request. Balancing to quality
level Q6.3 is only possible on coupling parts with a finish bore or
ready-to-install parts.
We would be happy to support you in selecting the coupling. Information on assembly, disassembly and the technical data can also be found in our catalog for download
