ROTEX® Clamping hubs 0 – 4,500 Nm / torsionally flexible jaw coupling with clamping hubs
Jaw coupling with clamping hubs for spline bores acc. to DIN and SAE
ROTEX clamping hubs are torsionally flexible elastomer couplings with clamping hubs and particularly suitable for applications with reversing operation.
Our clamping couplings are provided with spline bores acc. to DIN and SAE as a standard (for standard splines see catalogue). Clamping, i. e. axial fastening of the hub, is realised via cap screws.
Easy assembly and disassembly of the hubs of this clamping coupling.
Features
- Fail-safe clamping coupling (clamping hubs)
- Standard hub material steel
- Suitable in combination with spline bores acc. to DIN 5480, DIN 5482, SAE J498 as well as DIN 9611 / ISO 500 (p. t. o. shaft), DIN 5463 (ISO 14), DIN 5481 and DIN 5472
- Balanced based on 3D-CAD data
- Particularly suitable for applications with reversing operation
General Description
ROTEX shaft couplings consist of two hubs (aluminium or steel) and a spider (elastomer ring / cam ring) made of T-PUR®(elastomer). The different degrees of hardness of the T-PUR® spider allow to adjust the level of damping and torsional stiffness of the elastomer coupling.
ROTEX couplings require few mounting space and thus allow for easy assembly/disassembly. The numerous types provide for maximum flexibility and meet with the different mounting requirements through various types of hubs.
Function
Jaw couplings ensure torsional vibration-damping power transmission and offset shocks generated by irregularly operating machines.
In contrast to flexible couplings the connecting elements of which are stressed on bending and therefore to earlier wear, the flexible teeth of ROTEX couplings (elastomers) are subjected to compressive stress only. The benefit of the elastomer coupling thus is to withstand significantly higher loads.
The elastomers deform with load and high speeds. Sufficient expansion space must be provided.
All sizes of ROTEX jaw couplings have a maximum torsion angle of 5°. They can be mounted both horizontally and vertically.
Material
Our elastomer material T-PUR® is resistant to higher temperatures and has a considerably longer service life than common polyurethanes. From a visual point of view we marked the T-PUR® (elastomer) material by the colours orange (92 Shore A), purple (98 Shore A) and light green (64 Shore D).
