The way a Flexible Disc Coupling is designed is with two hubs, a spacer and multiple flexible discs. Their are three different disc designed for the Form Flex coupling, there are four bolt, six bolt and the eight bolt design.
The design features of the Form Flex Coupling, four bolt design is ideal for general industrial applications with turbine or motor drives, and smooth tho medium load conditions. The Form Flex Coupling four bolt designs is the used when misalignment is a problem and has the largest misalignment capacity of any metal disc design. These four bolt Flexible Disc Couplings are designed to used in applications that are low to moderate speed ranges.
Four Bolt Design Features
- Straight Sided Flex Disc
- One Degree Angular Misalignment
- Torque Range: 35 LB. IN to 30,240 LB. IN.
- Zero Backlash
- Steel Construction
- Stainless Steel Discs
- Minimum Reaction Force
The six bolt design is best for applications that use motor or turbine drivers, with the capability to work with any load conditions, and can be used for reversing, reciprocating or any other rough load conditions. These Flexible Disc Couplings can be use for Industrial engine driving smooth loads. These units are best for moderate to high speed ranges and where balancing is needed. You should consider the six bolt design when the four bolt sizes require increased coupling size to meet the bore size.
Six Bolt Design Features
- Straight Sided Flex Disc
- 0.7 Degree Angular Misalignment
- Torque Range: 3050 LB. IN. to 233,000 LB. IN.
- Suitable for Precision Balancing
- Zero Backlash
- Steel Construction
- Stainless Steel Discs
The Eight bolt design is used for High Torque low speed applications, and is also ideal for Industrial engine driving reciprocating equipment. It can also be used for heavy duty reverse applications, and can be custom designed for high torque applications.
Eight Bolt Design Features
- Round Disc Design
- 0.3 Degree Angular Misalignment
- Torque Range: 9500 LB. IN. to 2,000,000 LB. IN.
- Zero Backlash
- Heavy Duty Cast Constuction
- Alloy or Stainless Steel Flex Discs
- Flywheel Mount Designs
