COUPLINGS

The MORFLEX
® coupling should be installed whereconsiderable dimensional misalignment may result, oris expected. It also cushions shock loads and absorbs vibration. The MORFLEX
® coupling can compensatefor misalignment and is torsionally flexible.All drive and reaction forces are accommodated bydisplacement of the flexible Neoprene biscuits. Springrates (lb-ft/degree) are low, which accounts for the efficient compensation of misalignment and prolongedbearing life of equipment coupled by MORFLEX
® . TheCenter member “floats” between the two flanges, and the two sets of Neoprene biscuits share themisalignment.Cases of extreme misalignment call for the use of the Double MORFLEX
® Series “CC” coupling. Byemploying two center members, four sets of Neoprenebiscuits share the misalignment. Spring rates are exceptionally low and reactions at bearings arereduced to a minimum. Hub and Block Assemblies are some of the manyspecial drive and accessories that we can manufacture. They allow for flexibility in design, and are adaptableto many special conditions and applications. Round steel flanges are normally used, and a largeassortment of finished bore sizes are stocked. They are available with a minimum bore from stock, and areeasily rebored as required to fit the shaft. Lining upshaft centers may be better facilitated and higher operation speeds permissible with the MORFLEX
® Round Flanged coupling.
