Highly Flexible Couplings for Cardan Shafts The cardan shaft coupling concept The Stromag product range provides a wide range of cardan shaft couplings. The couplings are designed for use in piston machines for direct connection to a cardan shaft. The A-side of the coupling can be bolted directly to an engine’s flywheel. The cardan shaft is flangemounted to the B-side of the coupling. The Stromag cardan shaft coupling is comprised of the combination of an element made from flexible rubber material with a bearing for the secure absorption of the reaction forces applied by a connected cardan shaft....

Storage of flexible rubber elements When stored appropriately, flexible rubber elements retain their properties over several years without any alterations. It is essential that the stored parts are protected against oxygen, ozone, light, heat, moisture and solvents. The storage temperature should no fall below +10°C and not exceed +25°C. All UV light sources are harmful and must be avoided. Equipment that generates ozone, e.g. light sources and electric motors, must be kept away from the storage location. The relative air humidity should not exceed 65%. Solvents, fuels, lubricants, chemicals,...

Highly Flexible Couplings for Cardan Shafts Stromag AFL / PVN Series The flange bearing is a bell that is mounted to the diesel engine. An axially mountable, plug-in, highly flexible Stromag Periflex® disc tyre arranged inside the bell transmits the torque from the flywheel to the cardan shaft. The disc tyre has a linear spring characteristic and ensures the balanced torsional vibration behavior of the system, while the integrated bearing transmits the cardan shaft’s reaction forces to the engine housing via the bell. This means that the crank shaft bearings are not exposed to the reaction forces....

Stromag IGE...FG Series Stromag IGE...FG Concept The Stromag IGE...FG is a highly flexible rubber coupling with a progressive characteristic (see figure). It is ideal for the transmission of high torques with its particularly compact design and light weight. The coupling’s outer part can be connected directly to a diesel engine’s flywheel or similar. The torque is transmitted to the hub and the cardan shaft via rubber elements arranged in a star pattern. The inner part of the coupling, consisting of the hub and support flange, is radially supported in the outer part of the coupling via the shaft...

Highly Flexible Couplings for Cardan Shafts-21

The dynamic torsional stiffness indicates the ratio of torque amplitude to torsion angle amplitude during an oscillation. The torque amplitude is superimposed on an initial load (coupling torque). For couplings with a linear characteristic (Stromag Periflex® CS and AFL), the CTdyn value over the coupling torque is constant. However, it changes depending on the amplitude, the frequency and the temperature of the flexible element. CTdyn data relate to a coupling torque of 0,8 • TKN, an alternating torque of 0,2 • Tkn and a frequency of 10 Hz for a coupling at operating temperature with a surface...
