Quick-Flex Elastomeric Couplings
Durability for the Long Haul
Quick-Flex elastomeric couplings are durable enough to perform in harsh
environments, yet need minimal maintenance. This type of coupling is easy to install and
requires no lubrication. The insert can be changed without removing the hubs. Thanks to the
versatility of the design, elastomeric couplings is direct replacements for most
comparable couplings.
(18) Rigid Compression Couplings
Resists Breakage, Built for Strength and Toughness
The steel design of the rigid compression couplings is ideal for tough applications where
strength and affordability are important. The cast steel couplings are an excellent choice for
joining two shafts of the same size. This type The kind of coupling is also known as a
"rigid clamp style" coupling.
Made from cast steel, castings are first rough machined. A 1/16" spacer is placed between the coupling halves which are bolted together for final boring. The spacer is removed and the result is a compression clamp on the shaft. Choose from standard sizes for shafts 1-7/16" through 5". Custom sizes are available upon request.
