Torsionally Flexible Claw Couplings

Flexible shaft couplings rated torque to 85,000 Nm and ATEX compliant.

N-EUPEX® flexible shaft couplings are designed on a modular principle and have a very simple construction. N-EUPEX types are made up of sub-assemblies to suit requirements. The couplings are assembled by simply fitting the coupling halves together. Wear is restricted to the elastomer elements, which must be replaced at the end of their service life. Depending on type, the elastomer elements can be changed without moving the coupled machines. The coupling parts are readily available from stock and are mostly finish-machined, i.e. with finished bore, keyway, set screw and balancing. Please note that if the couplings are finished machined / bored and keyed in the jbj Techniques machine shop, the couplings will be supplied un-balanced, unless specifically requested.

The N-EUPEX coupling is available as a catalogue standard in 23 sizes with a rated torque of between 19 Nm and 62000 Nm. The coupling is suitable for use at ambient temperatures of between -30°C and +80°C. By using alternative elastomer elements, the permissible ambient temperature range can be extended to between -50°C and +100°C. Frequently, the coupling is used to connect the motor to the gear unit input shaft. The coupling is suitable especially for drives with uniform to average dynamic loads.

» Adapters and hubs: Grey cast iron EN-GJL-250

» Brake disks: EN-GJS-400 spheroidal graphite cast iron or S355J2G3 steel

» Brake drums: Grey cast iron EN-GJL-250

» Low-temperature application: Shock loads in the drive caused by e.g. starting of drives with large masses to be accelerated (e.g. in fan drives) result in high component loads, particularly at low temperatures. For such applications a particularly robust coupling series must be selected.
