Coupling Information ARCUSAFLEX ® Standard Types Flange coupling with taper bush The ARCUSAFLEX® flange coupling type AC-T…F2 is equipped with a taper bush for shaft mounting. The rubber element is vulcanized directly to the hub body of the taper bush. After completion of the assembly, a shrink-fit-like connection, free from backlash is Taper bush established between the coupling hub with rubber element and the shaft. Thanks to the use of commercially available taper bushes with a number of different bore dimensions, the need for finishing the bore and keyway of the coupling hub is omitted for...

Coupling Information Selection of the coupling size The coupling size, for use in combustion engines, is designed and selected with a view to torsional vibration. For preliminary selection using the engine torque TAN a general safety factor of S = 1.3 - 1.5 should be applied for ARCUSAFLEX® couplings with flexible disc elements of natural/synthetic caoutchouc. In selecting the coupling size the following should be satisfied: The nominal torque of the coupling TKN must be taken into account at every temperature and operating load of the coupling while observing the service factors S (e.g: temperature...
