GKN Stromag Periflex® Disc Coupling The GKN Stromag Periflex® disc coupling concept GKN Stromag PVN couplings are highly flexible elastomer couplings with linear spring characteristics ideal for diesel engine drives. The Series covers the torque range 160 – 63,000 Nm. The external companion dimensions conform as standard to the flywheel connections under the SAE standard J620. The larger couplings are basically designed with metric flywheel connections. The GKN Stromag PVN coupling allows fast and simple connection of a flange, specifically a flywheel, to a shaft. Some designs also allow...

GKN Stromag Periflex® Disc Coupling Instructions for the designer The GKN Stromag Periflex® VN coupling hubs are of steel or ductile cast iron. The connection ring is of aluminium. The disc tyres consist of a steel or ductile cast iron V ring with a lining of vulcanised elastomer. The variants of natural rubber (NR) can be used at temperatures of ‑50 °C to +80 °C. The variants of temperature resistant material (ECO) can be used at temperatures of -40 °C to +120 °C. In addition, ECO is resistant to ozone and oil. Damping work may cause the flexible element to reach temperatures higher than...

GKN Stromag Periflex® Disc Coupling Fail-safe device The Stromag Periflex® VN coupling is available with an fail-safe device. A rupture in the flexible element causes claws to intermesh, forming a torsionally rigid, backlash connection between the drive and output sides. Temporary emergency operation is possible with limited torque. The maximum torques and speeds must be calculated separately on the basis of torsional vibrations transferred via a torsionally rigid structure. Instructions on choosing the coupling size The static and dynamic characteristics of GKN Stromag Periflex® VN...

GKN Stromag Periflex® Disc Coupling Installation instructions and scope of delivery The GKN Stromag Periflex® VN coupling is fitted with a connection ring (1) that allows it to be bolted directly to the engine’s flywheel. The hub (3) of the disc tyre (2) is secured to the machine with bolts (4). The drive and output sides are moved together to the prescribed distance (blind installation), whereby the tyre’s teeth must engage over the entire length of the connection ring. The maximum displacements can be taken from the dimensions and ratings tables. Delivery of the standard version includes:...
