Shaft Rating: 4 to 135 hp at 2000 rpm
For Angular Misalignment, Torsional Vibration and Shock Protection
A series of highly flexible elastomeric couplings for accessory drives designed to eliminate lubrication and maintenance. Dynaflex LCR Coupling capacity is rated from 4 to 135 hp at 2000 rpm. These easily installed couplings reduce noise transmission and increase bearing and driveline life through
- Greater misalignment accommodation.
- Isolation of low frequency disturbances.
- Isolation of torsional shock.
Features and Benefits
The ring-type coupling line has been developed to overcome numerous torsional problems associated with vehicular and industrial driveline systems. The result is increased equipment life by protecting against torsional vibration, shock and misalignment. Significant benefits are
Misalignment Accommodation: elastomeric flexibility allows for large angular misalignment. For permissible misalignments, including axial and radial, see Table 1.
Vibration Isolation: low torsional spring rate is achieved with the elastomeric ring type coupling using rubber in compression. This allows for low system natural frequencies and isolation of first mode driveline disturbances in most driveline systems.
Shock Protection: isolates torsional shock, prevents backlash and protects system components, including bearings, from fatigue failure.
Long Service Life: Lord ring type couplings have proven themselves under demanding service conditions.
Maintenance Free: elastomer flexibility accommodates all motion without wear, eliminates the need for lubrication.
Noise Reduction: no metal-to-metal contact; elastomer attenuates structure-borne noise and isolates vibration from components that would act as noise generators.
Systems Engineering: Lord has in-house computer capabilities for multi-torsional analysis to assist in proper coupling selection.
