Description
HIGHLY-FLEXIBLE U-JOINT COUPLING
If the prime mover is an internal combustion engine, a highly flexible ARCUSAFLEX-VSK U-joint coupling (short form: AC-VSK) is required to protect the drive train from dynamic overload. Highly flexible AC-VSK U-joint couplings are capable of shifting resonant ranges below the lowest operating speed and of reducing resonance-induced vibratory torques under reversed stresses to tolerable levels.
Specification:
-40 °C to 95 °C
390 Nm to 20000 Nm
Highly-flexible U-joint coupling
Advantages:
- Linear torsional deflection characteristic
- Elements available in different torsional stiffness’s
- Enhanced damping capacity through frictional damping
- Maintenance-free coupling bearings
- Radial bearing close to the cardan joint
- A variety of designs for different drive shaft configurations
- Many types with SAE connection dimensions or as specified
- Compact construction, the highly flexible element being protected by the housing
- Fail-safe device visible from the outsideBY
