Description

The flexible capabilities of the Tyre flex Coupling help to accommodate angular, parallel and axial misalignments.
Parallel Misalignment up to 6mm.
Angular Alignment up to 4.
End Float up to 8mm.
Suitable in ambient temperature up to 70deg Celsius.
Tyre Fex being a torsionally soft coupling protects against vibration, impact loads and heavy shocks in the event of sudden load changes.
Alignment is quickly checked by placing a straight edge across the outside diameters of the flanges.
Installation or replacement of new Tyre is achieved without disturbing driver or driven shafts, simply by loosening the clamping screws, placing a new Tyre between the flanges and clamping the rings and then tightening the clamping screws.
Tyre Flex Coupling – RST
Tyre-flex spacing couplings RST are specifically designed for motor-pump installations, where it is desirable not to disturb drive/driven equipment while servicing impellers, packing glands, etc.
The Maintenance time-reduction feature is valuable on pumps, compressors and many other applications.
It comprises of a spacer assembly and a standard Tyre-flex coupling.
The spacer assembly consists of a flanged shaft and a spacer adapter taper bored to suit standard Taper Bush
