Product catalog summary
SPIDEX® Elastic Couplings

Technical Description: SPIDEX® elastic couplings are designed to reduce torsional shocks by storing shock energy elastically, minimizing uneven movement and torque transference. They are backlash-free and feature a convex profiled tooth crown to compensate for radial and angular displacements. Made from thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, they offer high abrasion resistance and elasticity, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +100°C, and short peaks up to +120°C. The TPS spider series is suitable for temperatures above +100°C to +150°C.

Sizing Determination: The process involves determining the nominal torque, calculating the application service factor, and selecting the appropriate elastomer Shore hardness. The design torque is calculated by multiplying the nominal torque by the service factor.

Application Service Factors: Service factors vary based on operation type and conditions, ranging from 1.0 for uniform operations to 1.8 for irregular operations with heavy shocks.

Dimensions and Materials: Available in various sizes and materials, including die-cast aluminium, cast iron, SG iron, steel, and sintered steel.

DENTEX® Flexible Couplings

Technical Description: DENTEX® couplings are flexible and designed for torsionally rigid applications, particularly suitable for diesel motor drives. They offer damping and maintenance-free operation.

Conclusion: Both SPIDEX® and DENTEX® couplings provide effective solutions for various industrial applications, offering flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.
SPIDEX® NBL Couplings

4 SPIDEX® – the elastic coupling SPIDEX® – the elastic coupling Technical description Elastic couplings reduce intermittent short-period torsional shocks by briefly storing part of this shock energy elastically. Any degree of uneven movement and torque transference is consequently reduced. Elastic couplings suppress body resonance and therefore contribute to noise reduction. The elastic SPIDEX® coupling transmits the torque without the risk of breakdown and backlash-free. The convex generated profiled tooth crown, see Fig. 1, allows compensation of radial and angular displacements of the two...
