Spider coupling
26 January 2015
The industry standard HBE Softex spider coupling from UK Flowtechnik is a popular choice when connecting motor/gear-box shafts for the purpose of power transmission.

It uses the curved jaw design, which allows for greater shaft misalignments, and has a range of spider insert options for transmitting more or less torque, whilst offering varying degrees of shock absorption and noise reduction. The Softex is a low maintenance fail-safe coupling and approved for ATEX Zone 1 hazardous area applications.
UK Flowtechnik also stocks a wide range of bellhousings, tanks, heaters and accessories for industrial and process applications available off the shelf.
