REM Disc Couplings

Description

• Eliminates the need for coupling lubrication and maintenance
• Coupling can be inspected without disassembly
• It's possible to inspect the discs with a strobe light while the machine is running (Note: it is not recommended that couplings operate without coupling guards)
• Easily assessable team misalignment
• Torsionally rigid without recoil
• No wear parts
• Resistance to the harshest environments
• Long life if dimensions and alignment are correct
• High power density (higher torque for each given outside diameter)
• Unified disks ensure the repeatability necessary to meet the balance and connection requirements specified by API-610.
• ATEX Certified for SU, SX, DI, SXC, SXCS, SXCST, DIR, DILR, DIRA and DIRLA
  
  
  The disc package accommodates 1/2° to 1-1/2° angular misalignment and is used in all disc couplings.
  
  The discs are manufactured with high quality stainless steel (AISI-301), which guarantees high strength, excellent fatigue resistance and resistance to most environmental conditions. Disc couplings use 4, 6 or 8 bolt disc packs. Although the 8-bolt design can transmit greater torque than the 6- or 4-bolt, it does not allow for much angular misalignment. Additionally, the couplings can be equipped with overload bushings to protect the discs during momentary torsional overloads.
