Elastomeric Couplings Offer Vibration Dampening

The Sure-Flex brand of elastomeric couplings is available from Huco Dynatork for applications where low cost, high flexibility and vibration dampening are primary concerns. Quick and easy installation is assured as the design has no bolts, gaskets, covers or seals, so no special tools are required. Alignment is simply checked with a straight edge placed against the outside of the precision-machine flanges.

Characterised by their clean, dependable and quiet performance, these products need neither lubrication nor maintenance as the components are wear-free and the design is immune from the ingress of abrasive dirt and moisture. Sure-Flex couplings use a synthetic rubber or Hytrel thermoplastic flex element to transmit torque - up to 8.2kNm - and to accommodate shaft misalignment. They are claimed to have exceptional torsional flexibility and their four-way flexing action absorbs virtually all types of shock, vibration, misalignment and end float.

'Fatigue test to failure' results confirm that the Sure-Flex polymeric flex elements last twice as long as their nearest competitive coupling and up to 30 times longer than the remaining competitive models. As a result, these couplings are suited for rotating machinery across a range of industries. Typically Sure-Flex couplings are found in systems involving pumps, fans, blowers, compressors, mixers, electric motors and conveyors. Flex elements are available in a choice of four materials or compounds and in various shape configurations to suit the application. Spacer, bushed hub and clamping hub designs complete the range - the most popular sizes of which are available from stock.
