The design criteria employed by Euroflex ensures the couplings have:

• the smallest size for a given torque rating with an efficient power to weight ratio
• A high torque transmitting capability
• Low axial thrust with the highest misalignment capability in couplings of its class
• Low life time maintenance cost and an extremely high level of reliability

Characteristics of Euroflex Couplings

No Lubrication & Zero Maintenance - The Euroflex Coupling is a dry coupling not requiring any lubrication. The coupling also has no relative moving parts and maintenance is reduced to a periodic visual inspection, during any convenient shut down. Low End Thrust and Bending Moment - When compared to gear couplings the end thrust and bending moments in Euroflex Couplings are considerably lesser and more importantly they are smoothly applied. High Torsional Rigidity -Euroflex Couplings are torsionally rigid with zero backlash. High Temperature Operations - The absence of lubrication and usage of special materials makes Euroflex Couplings suitable for high temperature operations. Electrical Insulation - Insulating materials are employed where necessary to prevent the flow of eddy currents, which would otherwise cause bearing damage in the accompanying rotary machinery. High Torque Capacity with Low Weight - Euroflex can offer a wide range of couplings to met all possible torque requirements and by using light and high strength alloys for components, reductions in weight can be achieved. Good Dynamic Balance - Residual unbalance of the Euroflex coupling is kept to the minimum by ensuring concentricity of the coupling parts. Compliance to International Standards - Euroflex Couplings conform to most international standards including API 671 and is ISO 9001 compliant. Emergency Drive Features- All Euroflex Couplings have inbuilt emergency drive features to ensure torque transmission under exceptionally high overloads and consequent flexing element failure. Torque Limiting Feature - Shear Pins can be provided in Euroflex Coupling for meeting torque limiting applications.
