ROTEX Torsionally Flexible Couplings from KTR are characterized by small dimensions, low weight and low mass moments of inertia yet transmit high torques.
Their application is ideal for transmitting torque while damping torsional vibrations and absorbing shocks produced by the uneven operation of certain prime movers.
Design
ROTEX Couplings are torsionally flexible and designed for positive torque transmission. They are fail-safe. Operational vibrations and shocks are efficiently dampened and reduced. The two congruent coupling halves with concave claws on the inside are peripherally offset in relation to one another by half a pitch.
In addition, they are designed in such a way as to enable an involute spider to be located between them. The teeth of the spider are crowned to avoid edge pressure if the shafts are misaligned.
ROTEX couplings are capable of compensating for axial, radial and angular displacements of the shafts to be connected.
Performance
In contrast to other flexible couplings, the intermediate members of which are subject to bending stress and are therefore prone to earlier wear, the flexible teeth of ROTEX couplings are subject to pressure only. This gives the additional advantage of the individual teeth being able to accept considerably higher loads.
The maximum torsion angle with ROTEX couplings of any size amounts to 5 deg. They can be fitted both horizontally and vertically.
