Product catalog summary
Overview
QUICK FLEX® elastomeric couplings are designed for durability and efficiency in harsh environments, requiring minimal maintenance and no lubrication. They are easy to install and help keep the overall cost of ownership low.

Key Features
  • Efficiency: Versatile design suitable for various applications, with minimal spare parts needed.
  • Durability: No metal-to-metal contact, reducing damage and maintenance costs. Stainless-steel versions available for harsh environments.
  • More Uptime: Quick and easy replacement of urethane inserts without disassembling equipment.
  • Innovative Design: Handles up to 2 degrees of misalignment and dampens vibration and shock loads.
  • Reduced Inventory: Standardization across plants reduces the need for multiple coupling styles.

Applications
  • Motor to gearbox (low torque/high speed)
  • Gearbox to driven equipment (high torque/low speed)
  • Motors to pumps
  • Any drive shaft to a driven shaft

Models and Specifications
  • Four models with solid and split covers for high-speed and increased torque applications.
  • Twelve sizes with bores ranging from 9.4 mm to 285 mm, designed for continuous torque levels from 0.043 kNm to 188.8 kNm.
  • Accepts shaft misalignment up to 2 degrees.
  • Four bore options and four insert choices for varying torque needs and temperature ranges up to 177° C (350° F).

Comparison and Performance
  • QUICK FLEX couplings transmit higher torque levels compared to average gear couplings, with no need for lubrication.
  • Various series offer different torque and speed capabilities, with improvements over gear couplings.

Inserts
  • Standard Red Insert: Soft urethane for vibration dampening.
  • High Torque Blue Insert: Stiff urethane for moderate to high torque applications.
  • High Temperature White Insert: Withstands temperatures up to 177° C.
  • Highest Torque Black Insert: Stiffest urethane for very high torque applications.
