Rupex Pin & Bush Coupling
RUPEX couplings are used as flexible compensating couplings in all applications requiring a reliable transmission of torque under harsh operating conditions.
The conical seats of the buffer pins facilitate mounting and guarantee maintenance-free operation. The optimized shape of the barrelled buffers allows simple plug-in assembly and low circumferential backlash. Many type variants are offered, e. g. with brake disk, axial play limiting device, or brake motor couplings
Features
- Flexible fail-safe pin and bush coupling for medium up to high torques
- Compact design; low weights and mass moments of inertia
- Independent of direction of rotation (suitable for reversing operation)
- Suitable for plug-in assembly (blind assembly, bell housing installation)
- Torque range of the standard series between 200 Nm and 1,300,000 Nm
- Can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres; certified acc. to 94/9/EC (ATEX 95)
Typical Applications
RUPEX couplings are used in general mechanical engineering both as high-speed couplings and for high torques, e. g. in
- Cranes
- Conveyors
- Blowers
- Screw pumps
- Cableways
- Mixers
- Cement processing machines
