THE VULKAN VULAFLEX COUPLING FOR EXTREME SHAFT DISPLACEMENTS

A new coupling principle is introduced, intended to compensate large shaft displacements, in the axial as well as in the radial and angular directions. The principle of its operation and design are described. In addition the permissible displacements-dependent on torque, speed and exterior diameter-have been graphically represented. Further, the possibility to combine this coupling type with torsional high flexible and torsional damping couplings is mentioned. Finally, several executed application examples are explained.
