Disc couplings improve stress distribution and reduce loads
Kop-Flex
The new High Performance Disc Coupling 2.0 for turbomachinery (photo) has a lighter-weight, second-generation design that is 15–30% lighter than previous generations and competitive designs, thanks to engineering optimization of the assembly, hardware and major components, says the company. The expanded range of 22 sizes allows users to select the smallest, lightest coupling needed for an application’s torque requirement and service factor. — Kop-Flex, a unit of Regal-Beloit Corp., Florence, Ky.
