Key features include crowned flanks, tips, and chamfers for optimal load distribution and dynamic balance.

Overview of ELIGN Gear Couplings
ELIGN Gear Couplings are designed to connect two rotating shafts for efficient mechanical power transmission. They accommodate misalignment due to factors like foundation settling, thermal expansion, and improper maintenance.

Types of Misalignment
The ELIGN Gear Couplings can accommodate three types of misalignment:

Radial Misalignment: When the axes of connected shafts are parallel but not collinear.
Angular Misalignment: When the axes intersect at the coupling center but are not in a straight line.
Combined Radial and Angular Misalignment: When the axes do not intersect at the coupling point and are not parallel.

Additionally, the couplings allow for some axial movement of the shaft.

Key Features

Lifting Holes: Provided in larger couplings for ease of handling.
Lubrication: Each coupling half has a grease nipple for direct grease application.
Protection: All components have a rust preventative coating.
Custom Bores: Hubs can be bored to customer specifications or supplied with a pilot bore for further machining.

Types of ELIGN Gear Couplings

Type ED: Double Engagement with Flange Sleeve
Type ER: Single Engagement with Flange Sleeve
Type ET: Spacer Type
Type EV: Vertical Type
Type ES: Continuous Sleeve
Type ERR: Rigid Coupling

Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various types of couplings, including torque ratings, dimensions, and maximum speeds. These specifications are crucial for selecting the appropriate coupling for specific applications.

ELFLEX Flexible Couplings
ELFLEX couplings are designed to transmit torque between shafts while accommodating limited misalignment. They feature cushioned drive pin and bush mechanisms that absorb shock loads effectively. These couplings are low maintenance, requiring no lubrication, and are suitable for driving various machinery classes.

Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and guidelines for ELFLEX flexible couplings, including their design, installation, and safety considerations. It covers various types of couplings, such as those with integral brake drums and Nylicon gear couplings with nylon sleeves.

Specifications: ELFLEX couplings are designed to be tolerant to water, dust, and other atmospheric conditions. They can be easily dismantled by removing coupling bolts and rubber bushes. The couplings are compliant with BS: 3170 for misalignment limits and DIN-6885, PART-1 for metric keyways. They can be customized to fit specific shaft sizes or supplied with a pilot bore for customer machining.

Types of Couplings: The document details various types of ELFLEX couplings, including:

Type EFC: Available in multiple sizes, these couplings are designed for specific torque and speed requirements, with detailed dimensions provided in tables.
Type FC: Larger couplings with higher torque capacities, suitable for more demanding applications.
Type FBC: Couplings with an integral brake drum, offering additional functionality.
Nylicon Gear Couplings: These feature nylon sleeves and are ideal for small power drives, offering low-cost, maintenance-free operation.

Installation and Maintenance: Proper alignment is crucial for maximizing the lifespan and minimizing maintenance of the couplings. The document provides alignment limits and emphasizes the importance of following manufacturer instructions for installation and maintenance.

Safety Information: The document outlines potential hazards associated with the use of couplings, including fire/explosion risks, noise, and hot surfaces. It stresses the importance of using guards, proper lifting techniques, and adhering to lubrication guidelines to ensure safe operation.

Contact Information: The document provides contact details for various regional offices of Benzlers and Radicon, offering support and further information.

ELIGN GEAR COUPLINGS Gear Couplings Gear Coupling are used to join two rotating shafts for efficient transmission of mechanical power. Although the shafts can be accurately aligned at the time of installation, it is likely that during the operation the alignment may get disturbed due to settling of the foundation, thermal expansion, shaft deflection, wearing out of other parts, improper maintenance or many other reasons. Due to unavoidable misalignment occurring during operation a Gear Coupling provides An ideal solution to compensate or minimise the effect of misalignment. Gear Couplings are...
