TYREFLEX COUPLINGS

TYREFLEX COUPLINGS

THE TYRELEX COUPLING IS USUALLY USED IN MORE DEMANDING CONDITIONS THAN THE DRC.It is a torsionally elastic coupling which is capable of accommodating angular misalignment up to 4deg; as well as high levels of parallel misalignment and end float. Being a torsionally soft coupling, it is able to protect against vibration, impact loads and heavy shocks; it also reacts to sudden changes in loading.The coupling consists of two flanges, connected by a natural rubber “tyre”. The “tyre” is locked to each flange by a bolted clamping system.As with DRC, Tyreflex couplings are most commonly supplied with taper bush fixing, but solid flanges are also stocked for those wishing to machine the bore. Also similar to DRC, the flanges are available in either face-mount form ‘F’, or hub-mount form ‘H’.FRAS Tyres are also available – the chloroprene compound used for these takes the upper working temperature limit from 50°C to 70°C.
