Jaw Couplings with New Spider Material

KTR Couplings (India) Pvt Ltd offers Rotex Jaw Couplings with new spider material, T-PUR®. Torsionally flexible couplings are among the proven machine components used in various applications for a long time. During the course of time, with increasing need of better performance, the quality demands on the couplings have continuously increased. As a result the standard spider materials often reach their limits and then necessitate the need of meeting the higher parameters by using special compounds. Following the reputation of upgrading products with new technology, KTR has developed new spider material T-PUR® for Rotex® Jaw Couplings, which will become the future standard in terms of quality, performance and service. Rotex type jaw coupling, available since 1967, are used most frequently throughout the world today. The couplings are characterised by small dimensions, low weight and low flywheel effects with high torque transmission. The accurate, all-over machining has a positive influence on the running characteristics and increases the service life of the coupling considerably. Rotex couplings ensure a torsional vibration-damping power transmission in case of shocks in the drive train being produced by machines with non-uniform operation. The new material has significant improvements compared to standard elastomers in particular with the realisation of fatigue strength and temperature resistance, while maintaining all positive technical features such as damping and resistance to wear. Thus, the new material can be used with temperatures from -50°C to +120°C, as compared to other standard spider materials that only offer temperature resistance from -30°C to +90°C. The increased service life allows reducing the maintenance intervals and accordingly the expenses.
