SGF CATALOG SGFlex-3F SERIES

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document details the SGFlex-3F Series coupling systems by Süddeutsche Gelenkscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, designed to improve drive system reliability and comfort through advanced coupling technology.

Specifications
The SGFlex-3F Series uses Tenpu® fiber technology for torque transmission, providing high power density and shock load resistance. Made from high-quality elastomer and cord reinforcement, these couplings ensure durability and effective torque transfer. Electroplated flanges offer corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh environments like marine and biogas applications.

Applications
These couplings are applicable in industries such as agriculture, marine, construction, and power plants, suitable for connecting combustion engines, generators, and hydraulic pumps, offering flexibility and vibration absorption.

Installation and Maintenance
SGFlex couplings are easy to install with a simple screw connection, allowing replacement without disassembling metal parts. It is crucial to calculate nominal torque (TN) and consider vibratory behavior to prevent resonance phenomena.

Types of Couplings
The SGFlex-3F Series includes:

SGFlex-3FD: Connects two shafts, offering installation versatility.
SGFlex-3FF: Connects a flywheel with a shaft, standardized according to SAE J620.
SGFlex-3FS: Connects a shaft with an existing structure, reducing parts and costs.

Technical Data
Includes torque specifications, displacement capabilities, and maximum speed for each coupling size, along with flange machining options and connection types.

Conclusion
The SGFlex-3F Series provides robust, lightweight, and flexible coupling solutions for various industrial applications, ensuring reliable performance and ease of maintenance.

Torque Specifications

Nominal Torque (TKN): The torque that can be permanently transferred by the coupling.
Maximum Torque (TKMax1): Occurs during normal operations and can be handled if short-lived.
Maximum Torque (TKMax2): For emergency use only, may cause damage.
Permissible Continuously Oscillating Torque (TKW): The maximum permissible torque superimposed on the nominal torque.

Maximum Permissible Speed
The maximum permissible speed (nmax) can be fully utilized continuously, provided operating temperature limits are observed.

Product Description
The SGFlex-3F Series features a modular expandable system with a unique centering system, offering nominal torque capacities up to 40,000 Nm and 3,200 Nm for different models.

Company Information
Süddeutsche Gelenkscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG is headquartered in Waldkraiburg, Germany, with locations worldwide, including Asia Pacific and North America.

Süddeutsche Gelenkscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG // SGFlex-3F SERIES SGF flexible couplings are torsional flexible, non-shiftable couplings. They are used to compensate radial, axial or angular displacements of rotating components (e.g. shafts), to dampen vibrations in the drive train and to minimise torque peaks. The flex coupling assembly SGFlex-3F Series is an assembly consisting of a SGFlex flexible coupling, a drive flange and a driven/output flange. The SGFlex-3F Series offers 3 types of couplings each 6 standardized sizes with a torque range from 200Nm – 3.200Nm. All forged 3-arm flanges...
