Flexible Couplings

STAR Couplings are essentially general purpose couplings with a flexible element which can accommodate higher degree of misalignment.

• Parallel misalignment upto 0.5 mm
• Axial misalignment upto 1.7 mrn

Because of their superior design Star Couplings can accommodate larger shafts which make them a more economical propositon.

SALIENT FEATURES

ECONOMY : The design of the Star coupling has been optimised so that power capacities are balanced to the appropriate shaft diameters utilising Grip-Lock Bush fixing.

RESILIENCE : Transient peak loads are reduced by a flexible component, deflection of which is a prime design consideration.

MISALIGNMENT : Incidental parallel, angular and axial displacement of the connected shafts can be accommodated.

INSTALLATION : Quick and easy without special tools, only an alien key is required.

MAINTENANCE : Virtually eliminated and no lubricant is required.

ENVIRONMENT : The elastomeric cornponent rnakes Star coupling suitable for use in most conditions within a temperature range of -40°C to + 100°C.

POSITIVE : In the unlikely event of the flexible component being destroyed, the drive will be maintained by the interaction of dogs which are integral with the flanges.
