What is a Flender RUPEX Coupling?
A Flender RUPEX coupling is a flexible pin and bush coupling used to connect two shafts and transmit torque. The coupling uses buffer pins and elastic bushes to provide flexibility within the drive system.
This design allows the coupling to compensate for minor shaft misalignment while absorbing shock loads and damping vibration. RUPEX couplings are particularly well suited to heavy-duty applications where reliability and durability are essential.
Choosing the Right RUPEX Coupling
When selecting a Flender RUPEX coupling, consider the following:
- Required torque rating
- Shaft diameter
- Bore size
- Coupling size
- Operating speed
- Application type
- Shock load conditions
- Shaft misalignment
- Environmental conditions
- Space limitations
- Existing RUPEX part number or markings
- Requirement for replacement buffers or pins
If you are replacing an existing RUPEX coupling, Acorn can help identify the correct product from part numbers, photographs, dimensions or application information.
