Couplings

Key Is The Patented Disc Design. The unique disc design, made of rugged composite material, reacts to coupling forces with high torsional stiffness, ability to lessen reaction loads and to absorb and dampen shock and vibration. The Coupling For Today’s Most Difficult Applications. The CD Coupling is a unique hybrid coupling, combiningthe best features found in both steel disc and elastomeric couplings. Through its new open arm disc design and useof rugged composite materials, the coupling offers the high misalignment capacity found in many elastomeric couplings, but with higher torsional stiffness. Compared to steel disc couplings, these couplings offersuperior damping and isolation of shock and vibrating loads, including elimination of fretting corrosion and a dramatic reduction of stress fractures at the bolt hole locations. The CD Coupling also provides excellent chemical and moisture resistance in hostile environments which prove difficult or impossible for elastomeric or steel disc couplings. Finite Element Analysis Tailors Disc To Application. Using finite element analysis(FEA), the disc design can be easily modified along with changes in the composite material. Custom disc designs (manufactured on state-of-the- art laser cutting machines) can add to or lessen couplingflexibility or increase strength and stiffness as required for the particular application. There are over 40 standard models and sizes of CD couplings for most applications. For applications outside this range, CD Couplings can be designed and produced cost effectively within your delivery requirements.
