Para-Flex G-Series Couplings

Product catalog summary

Overview
DODGE couplings, exclusive to Baldor Electric Company, are designed to enhance performance and cost efficiency by dampening torsional vibration, handling misalignment, and resisting failure. They come in various designs and sizes, backed by over 100 years of expertise.

DODGE PARA-FLEX G-Series Couplings
The PARA-FLEX G-Series offers fast installation and reduced maintenance with larger bore sizes and higher torque capacity. The GRIP TIGHT keyless bushing system ensures a 360° concentric grip, minimizing vibration and shaft damage.

DODGE PARA-FLEX Elements
Reinforced with fabric tension cords, these elements provide increased reliability and prevent tire pull-out. They accommodate significant misalignment and come with a 5-year limited warranty.

D-FLEX™ Elastomeric Sleeve Couplings
These couplings handle shock, vibration, and misalignment with a four-way flexing action, offering a torque capacity up to 72,480 in-lbs and available in various sleeve materials.

DODGE GRID-LIGN™ Couplings
Compact and high in torque capability, these couplings feature a tapered grid element that isolates vibration and cushions shock loads, interchangeable with other taper-grid style couplings.

DODGE Gear Couplings
Power-dense and capable of transmitting high torque at high speeds, these couplings feature a superior sealing system and versatile design for downsizing and interchangeable configurations.

Chain Couplings
These couplings offer shaft attachment flexibility, are cost-effective, and feature aluminum covers for protection and extended service life.

Other DODGE Couplings & Soft Starts
Includes POLY-DISC™ couplings with a polyurethane disc for shock load cushioning and TAPER-LOCK rigid couplings for connecting shafts of different diameters. The POWERPLUS™ coupling combines features of metallic and elastomeric couplings for efficient performance.

PLUS Coupling Specifications
Sizes range from 58 to 480 with a bore range of 0.75" to 5.71" and an outer diameter (O.D.) range of 58mm to 480mm.

POLY-DISC Coupling Specifications
Sizes range from 2.625 to 10 with a bore range of 0.5" to 3.25" and an O.D. range of 2.63" to 10". It has a misalignment capability of 2° angular, 0.03125" parallel, and 0.03125" end float. The compact size allows for large torque transmission in space-limited applications without lubrication.

DODGE FLUID Couplings
These are fixed fill mechanical soft start devices using hydrokinetic energy to transmit torque, providing smooth operation, reduced motor amp draw, overload protection, and torsional vibration absorption. Ideal for remote locations as they do not require a power supply or programming.

DODGE FLEXIDYNE
A mechanical soft start device offering smooth acceleration and reduced motor current draw, operating at 100% efficiency without additional power supply or programming, suitable for remote locations.

Ribbed Couplings
These have rated load capacities of ANSI 1018 and can operate at speeds up to 5360 RPM. They can be clamp fit onto shafts of equal diameter with a full-length key, with sizes from 1 to 7, a bore range of 1" to 7", and an O.D. range of 3.625" to 15.5".
