— Elastomeric - Raptor Features/benefits — Designed and developed by Dodge A better choice has arrived Coupling maintenance and reliability should not consume your maintenance team's time. The Dodge Raptor elastomeric coupling is the answer to these concerns. The Raptor’s easy to assemble, patented split natural rubber element significantly decreases total costs of ownership and extends driven equipment life. Built for drop-in interchangeability, the Raptor features an innovative design offering easier installation, reduced maintenance, and improved reliability in a wide range of new and...

Elastomeric - Raptor Features/benefits • Industry leading misalignment capabilities • Less vibration transmission to connected equipment • Better shock absorbing capabilities • Static conductive for grounding redundancy, allowing current to safely pass through the natural rubber element, preventing the possibility of arcing during operation • Exceptional resistance to hydrolysis, for improved performance in humid environments • Superior thermal conductivity and ability to dissipate heat and hysteresis build up Patented WingLock™ element design The Dodge Raptor utilizes a patented...

Elastomeric - Raptor Features/benefits — Suited for any application A practical solution to spacer couplings The innovation behind the Raptor coupling also extends to applications requiring additional space between shaft ends. • One spacer element fits all standard ANSI and ISO spacer lengths. • Spacer elements can be replaced with standard closecoupled elements, resulting in lower replacement costs and reduced inventory. • Eliminates the need for high-speed rings, resulting in easier installation, while also reducing purchase costs and inventory requirements. • Modular full spacer design...
