    The LF Series coupling is designed with a unique and highly versatile elastomeric element. These can be easily integrated into a variety of coupling configurations to meet several application needs. LF Style elements are available in a variety of materials to match the necessary coupling dampening characteristics for tuning the systems critical speed away from the application operating speed.

    The element can be connected axially to a flywheel adapter plate or flanged hub and radially to a cylindrical center hub using the appropriate bolts. Axial bolt styles include either socket head bolts with a special dry adhesive, or S-Style bolts, which are similar to dowel pins (seen picture below). The radial bolts are used to connect the element to the cylindrical hub. This unique design is remarkably simple, highly effective and gives the LF torsional coupling unmatched performance capabilities. The coupling selection should be verified with a Torsional Vibration Analysis (TVA) of the system.

Notes

Notes 

N/A
  • For Hytrel, dynamic torsional stiffness values are non-linear with respect to torque. Value given is for 100% of nominal torque.
  • Angular and parallel misalignment values are dependent on speed, and for rubber elements, should be adjusted according to figure 4. Hytrel® elements are only for applications where the driven component is piloted to the driver for SAE and DIN established alignments (i.e. Hydraulic pump flange-mounted to engine flywheel housing).
  • Hytrel® elements are only for applications where the driven component is piloted to the driver for essentially perfect alignment (hydraulic pump flange-mounted to engine housing).

Torsional Element Specifications

Torsional Element Specifications

N/A
    There are two different rubber element materials available, High Temperature Rubber (HTR) and Neoprene (CR). Both elements are torsionally soft and are placed into compression during assembly. Rubber under compression can carry up to 5 times the amount of torque as non-compressed elements. The elements effectively accommodate shock, misalignment, and vibration plus minimize harmful radial and axial forces on the connected equipment. Neoprene (CR) is used in environments that are hostile to High Temperature Rubber (HTR).
    Available Durometer Hardness:
  • 50, 60 (Shore A scale)
    Operating Temperature Range:
  • HTR: -40° to 194° F
  • CR: -40° to 175° F
    Maximum Angular Misalignment:
  • Up to 3°
