Reliable coupling solutions for industrial machinery

Flender couplings are designed to transmit torque between rotating shafts while helping to protect connected equipment. They can compensate for misalignment, absorb shock loads, reduce vibration and support smooth, efficient operation.

Used across demanding environments, Flender couplings are trusted in sectors such as manufacturing, mining, marine, energy, materials handling, food production, cement, aggregates and heavy industry.

What is the Flender range of couplings?

Flender’s range of couplings is vast, with options available to suit most applications operating in almost every industry. The range includes:

  • Flexible couplings such as the N-EUPEX® claw coupling and the RUPEX® pin and bush coupling.
  • Torsionally rigid couplings such as the ZAPEX® ZW gear coupling and the ARPEX® all-steel coupling.
  • Hydrodynamic couplings such as the FLUDEX® fluid coupling.
  • Highly flexible couplings such as the ELPEX® flexible ring coupling and the ELPEX-B® rubber tyre coupling.

Backlash-free coupling such as the BIPEX-S® claw coupling and the SIPEX® metal bellow coupling.

 

Expert support from Acorn
