ROTEX® Taper clamping sleeve 0 – 12,500 Nm / torsionally flexible jaw coupling

Jaw coupling can be combined with taper clamping sleeves
The torsionally flexible jaw coupling ROTEX for taper clamping sleeve is an elastomer coupling that can be combined with various types of taper clamping sleeves.
The compact design of this elastomer coupling in combination with the slide fit facilitates the assembly and axial alignment of the flexible shaft coupling.

The clamping screws to be used additionally secure the friction connection by a positive-locking fit.The torsionally flexible jaw coupling ROTEX for taper clamping sleeve is an elastomer coupling that can be combined with various types of taper clamping sleeves.

Features

• Flexible jaw coupling for combining with taper clamping sleeves / taperlock clamping sleeves
• Slide fit facilitates axial alignment of the coupling
• Compact design
• Additional protection by positive-locking fit, each half of the clamping screws being in the coupling hub and taper clamping sleeve
• Complying with ATEX (acc. to EU directive 2014/34/EU)

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.
The coupling requires enough mounting space allowing 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
Their 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).
