Product catalog summary
Introduction
Renold Hi-Tec Couplings specializes in torsionally flexible couplings with over 60 years of experience. The company adheres to quality and environmental standards, holding certifications like EN ISO 9001:2008, EN ISO 14001:2004, and EN ISO 18001:2007. They utilize lean manufacturing and provide engineering support with advanced testing facilities.
HTB-GS Coupling
The HTB-GS coupling is a second-generation product known for its low weight and inertia, high quality, and endurance. It features a failsafe design, interchangeable components, high-temperature capability, and shock load protection. The coupling is maintenance-free, reducing operational costs.
Technical Specifications
Designed for diesel engine drives, the HTB-GS coupling's torque capacities are specified for nominal and maximum conditions. It includes data on dimensions, weight, inertia, and allowable misalignment. The coupling's stiffness properties are torque-dependent, with torsional vibration characteristics predictable using provided methods.
Engineering Support and Services
Renold offers Torsional Vibration Analysis (TVA) to assess driveline performance, ensuring compliance with marine survey societies' standards.
Health and Safety
Customers are advised to seek additional guidance on product suitability and safe use. Performance levels are verified through testing, but suitability for specific applications should be confirmed by the customer.
Overview
The document provides technical specifications for the DCB-GS Flexible Coupling, focusing on dimensions, weight, inertia, alignment, torque capacity, and stiffness properties. Recommendations for installation and operation are included to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Specifications
Details include dimensions and weights of various coupling sizes, maximum speed, weight, and inertia values. Dynamic balancing is emphasized for operations above 80% of maximum speed.
Alignment and Misalignment
Initial alignment should be precise, not exceeding 25% of specified data to accommodate potential deterioration. Allowed radial and axial misalignments are specified, with conical misalignment at 0.7 degrees.
Torque Capacity
The nominal torque (TKN) is used for selection without service factors. Maximum torque (TKmax) is three times the nominal torque, with additional capacity for short circuit torques. Vibratory torque values are provided for continuous torque fluctuation.
Stiffness Properties
The coupling remains flexible under all torque conditions, operating under the Rubber-in-Compression principle. Axial, radial, and torsional stiffness are torque-dependent, with detailed data available. A computer program is available for calculating torsional stiffness and dynamic magnifier values.
Heat Dissipation
Allowable dissipated heat at ambient temperatures is outlined, with specific values for different rubber types. For DNV survey, the maximum allowable temperature is 150°C, with heat load limits for Si70 rubber.
Recommendations
Installations should be aligned accurately, and forces on machinery should not exceed manufacturer allowances. A computer program is advised for detailed analysis of torsional vibration characteristics and stiffness predictions.
Product Range
Renold offers a diverse range of gearboxes and couplings, including worm gears, helical drives, and custom-engineered solutions. They specialize in rubber in compression and shear couplings for damping and tuning torsional vibrations in power drive lines.
Freewheel Clutches
Renold's Freewheel Clutches feature Sprag and Roller Ramp technology for safety-critical applications like safety backstops on conveyor systems and holdbacks on roller coasters. The Trapped Roller range offers backstopping, overrunning, and indexing capabilities.
Mill Products
Renold's mill products include Gear spindles, Universal joint drive shafts, and Gear Couplings, customizable for specific needs with options for material, heat treatment, and gear geometry.
Global Presence
Contact information for Renold offices and distributors is provided for various countries worldwide.

I HTB-GS, DCB-GS and RB Catalogue HTB-GS Flexible Coupling The HTB-GS range of flexible couplings is a second generation coupling derived from Renold Hi-Tec Couplings’ existing HTB range. Coupling rotation The HTB-GS coupling is designed to operate in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. It is important, therefore, to establish which direction the coupling will operate at the specification stage. The coupling shown here is designed to operate in a clockwise direction. HTB-GS couplings have low weight and inertia yet retain the unrivalled quality and endurance features of the standard...

The full torque capacity of the coupling for transient vibration whilst passing through major criticals on run up, is published as the maximum torque TKMAX . (TKMAX = 3 x TKN). There is additional torque capacity built within the coupling for short circuit and shock torques, which is 3 x TKMAX. The published “Vibratory Torque TKW”, relates to the amplitude of the permissible torque fluctuation....
