SGFlex-3FD-CONNECT

Product catalog summary
Overview
The SGFlex-3FD-CONNECT is a flexible drive shaft system by Süddeutsche Gelenkscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, designed to offer vibration-damping benefits over traditional universal joint drive shafts. It features a unique centering system, SGFlex-3F-ALIGN, and is available in six standard sizes.
Specifications
The system includes a 3-edge design for key connections, taper lock, frictional connections via shrink discs and clamping sets, and spline connections with fastening functions. It is maintenance-free, lubricant-free, and can operate at a zero-degree bending angle.
Applications
Suitable for drivetrain systems in track vehicles, electric engines, roller conveyors, jet impellers for boats, combustion engines, generators, and fan propellers for cooling towers.
Benefits
Offers high torque transmission in compact spaces, easy assembly/disassembly without moving components, smooth operation, and can bridge large shaft distances. It can also be electrically insulating upon request.
Technical Data
Includes nominal torque (TKN), maximum permissible torque (TKMax1 and TKMax2), and speed limits. Delivered as an unassembled set with all necessary parts. Standard balancing quality is G40, with G16 available upon request.
Installation and Maintenance
Designed for easy radial disassembly and reassembly by removing screws, without moving machines. Parts are corrosion-protected through electroplated coating or paint.
Recommendations
Calculate nominal torque and consider vibratory behavior to avoid resonance. Further information is available in the technical data sheet upon request.
Disclaimer
SGF reserves the right to make technical changes and does not guarantee the completeness or correctness of the information. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel.
Additional Specifications
Elastic drive shafts have nominal torque up to 40,000 Nm and 13,200 Nm for different applications.
Procedures and Recommendations
If torques reach TKMax2, replace the drive shaft and screw parts. The permissible continuously oscillating torque (TKW) is defined as the maximum torque superimposed on the nominal torque.
Operating Limits
Maximum permissible speed (nmax) can be used continuously if operating temperature limits are followed.
Company Information
SGF GmbH & Co. KG is headquartered in Waldkraiburg, Germany, with additional locations in Thailand, Waltershausen, Hanover, and North America.

All parts can be protected against corrosion by either electroplated coating or paint, which protects the steel parts against aggressive media and environmental impacts. Applications in corn harvesting machines, inside biogas fermenters and in the salty area of the marine industry prove the excellent resistance against unfriendly environment. SGFlex-3FD-CONNECT flanges and all other coupling parts are built together by a simple screw connection, using high quality bolts (grade 10.9) and high quality washers (300 HV hardness). The screw connection is easy to install, as the bolts are bolted directly...
