Flender is increasing the portfolio of its versatile coupling collection N-Eupex by introducing three new types. The new merchandise enable customers additional flexibility of their systems with out losing the compact design and high load capability of a pin coupling.
The new N-Eupex ERN is equipped with a torque limiter, which provides much more
security within the drivetrain in plenty of purposes. The coupling variant allows customers to
specify a maximum torque so that crucial torques for the motor and output machine
aren’t transmitted. Machines and techniques are protected from overload and
injury, thus considerably rising system availability.
With pressure gauge octa -Eupex B plus clamping factor, Flender introduces a second new
coupling that ensures frictionally engaged clamping connections. In this case, the
plain, cylindrical machine shaft end is connected to the coupling hub via a clamping
connection without a feather key and repair capability is increased. For instance,
assembly or substitute of worn elastomers could be carried out far more easily.
No connecting machine parts have to be moved, the time required is halved
and so is the downtime of the machine.
With the N-Eupex DKS, a model new double-cardanic coupling is introduced as a “short
version” into Flender’s modular system. While the DK type, which was launched in
2020, addresses the pump market with commonplace growth items for normed shaft
distances, the DKS is the shortest attainable double-cardanic solution for the market.
The shortened overall size permits cost-optimized use with a small shaft distance
dimension without losing the advantages of a double-cardanic coupling connection.
New elastomers for the pin couplings spherical off the modular extensions. In addition
to the beforehand used rubber elements made from NBR, Flender now additionally provides
elastomers made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Following the torque
enhance for all N-Eupex couplings with NBR packings in 2020, using TPU
packings permits the facility density to be increased by one other 20 p.c on
common. For sizes 300 and above, the familiar NBR elastomer is combined with
cloth inserts and the torque capability is again raised.
“With a view to the lengthy custom of cam couplings, our growth engineers are
systematically working on rising the variety of combinations even additional. The
2022 enhancements give our customers a extensive range of sustainable choices for
optimizing their machines and systems even more and reducing upkeep,”
explains André Artmann, Head of Coupling Sales.
