The disc couplings are suitable for rough environmental conditions. They are claimed to be wear-free and feature high torsional rigidity and zero backlash. Furthermore they can be inspected without being dismantled.
The disc couplings’ certification covers the following categories: Ex II 2 GD c 135°C (T4) and Ex I M2 c for couplings with torques up to 259kNm and Ex II 2 GD c 100°C (T5) as well as Ex I M2 c for torque values up to 4.6kNm.
There are ten versions of ATEX-certified disc couplings, covering a torque range from 0.24 to 259kNm. In addition to basic versions, various more sophisticated types with intermediate shafts or spacers are available. Specifically for use in the petrochemical industry, a series with spacer and guard ring is also available.
