LF Torsional Couplings

Description

The LF Series coupling is designed with an unique and highly versatile elastomeric element. These can be easily integrated into variety of coupling configurations to meet several application needs.

Those flexible couplings elements are available in a variety of materials to match the necessary coupling dampening characteristics for tuning the systems critical speed away from the application operating speed. The element can be connected axially to a flywheel adapter plate or flanged hub and radially to a cylindrical center hub using the appropriate bolts. Axial bolt styles include either socket head bolts with a special dry adhesive, or S-Style bolts, which are similar to dowel pins. The radial bolts are used to connect the element to a cylindrical hub. This unique design is remarkably simple, highly effective and gives the LF torsional coupling unmatched performance capabilities.

The selection of couplings should be verified by an analysis of torsional vibrations (AVT) of the system. (You will find the necessary information to perform an AVT in the downloadable catalogue)
