What are the benefits of choosing a KTR flexible coupling?

KTR's range of flexible couplings is vast: from POLY-NORM® claw couplings to GEAREX® gear couplings. 

The main benefits of KTR flexible couplings is their excellent resistance to shock loads, their outstanding vibration dampening properties, and their capability for accommodating angular, parallel and axial misalignment.

Dampening properties

KTR's flexible couplings help to dampen vibration, as well as cushioning shock loads. This protects surrounding equipment from damage. 

Tolerant of misalignment

These couplings are highly tolerant of misalignment, making them ideal for applications where accurate alignment is a challenge. 

Reduced maintenance

KTR flexible couplings are lubricant-free, meaning that maintenance requirements are greatly reduced. This also reduces the amount of downtime required by these couplings.

KTR flexible couplings FAQs

What are KTR flexible couplings?

KTR flexible couplings are mechanical devices designed to connect two rotating shafts while accommodating misalignment, vibrations, and slight movement between the shafts. They transmit torque smoothly and reduce stress on connected components.

What types of flexible couplings does KTR offer?

KTR offers a variety of flexible couplings to suit different applications, including:

  • ROTEX®: Elastomeric jaw coupling for damping vibrations and absorbing shocks.
  • BoWex®: Curved-tooth gear couplings that can handle misalignment.
  • REVOLEX®: Pin-and-bush couplings for heavy-duty applications.
  • RADEX®: Steel disc couplings for high-torque and precise alignment requirements.

What are the main advantages of using KTR flexible couplings?
  • Misalignment Compensation: Helps to absorb misalignment between shafts, reducing wear and tear.
  • Vibration Damping: Many KTR couplings, such as the ROTEX® series, help dampen vibrations, protecting the system from shock loads.
  • Torque Transmission: Provides reliable transmission of torque even in systems with minor misalignments.
  • Durability: KTR couplings are made from high-quality materials, offering long service life in demanding environments.

How do I choose the right KTR flexible coupling for my application?
  • Torque Requirements: Ensure the coupling can handle the required torque.
  • Shaft Misalignment: Choose a coupling that can accommodate the expected misalignment (angular, radial, or axial).
  • Operating Conditions: Consider the environment, temperature, and any potential exposure to chemicals or moisture.
  • Speed and Load: Evaluate the operating speed and the load that the coupling will be subjected to in your system.
