Renbrandt, Inc. One Piece™ Flexible Disc Couplings R17A

Some couplings are too stiff radially; they resist misalignment and thus overload bearings. Low Wind-Up and low Radial Loads are almost mutually exclusive. and always a compromise. The best compromise is found in flexible disc couplings-where rotational position is transmitted by means of tension in the discs. Whereas in a helical cut beam coupling the transmitting element is a cantilevered beam which cannot begin to have equivalent rigidity-and still provide radial flexibility. The graphs show clearly how much less wind-up there is in Renbrandt Couplings yet without excessive bearing load. We also make special couplings to order. where existing parameters require them
