Quick-assembly steel coupling
26 July 2018
Power transmission component manufacturer KTR has developed a new steel lamina coupling which can be radially assembled and disassembled as a complete unit quickly and easily.

The RIGIFLEX-N has been designed in accordance with API 610 and 671 and is available in six sizes for shaft diameters up to 105 mm and rated torques up to 2,400 Nm.
It consists of two hubs, one spacer and two lamina sets, which are factory-mounted as a sub-assembly. The hubs of the steel lamina coupling are designed as a half shell which allows for speedy radial assembly and disassembly of the coupling as a unit.
The two semi shell hubs are each mounted via four clamping screws, which means time-consuming assembly stages like heating the hubs for shrinking onto the shafts and mounting the spacer with the hubs are not required.
