FLEXIBLE STEERING COUPLINGS FOR TORQUE TRANSMISSION IN THE SMALLEST INSTALLATION SPACE

Flexible steering couplings are special flexible couplings for transmission of small torques. These flexible couplings can be tuned very softly, but nevertheless exhibit outstanding lifetime performance through the use of Tenpu®fiber technology. Flexible steering couplings are implemented for example in private cars and heavy goods vehicles, small drives or in the special machinery field and have the same tuning possibilities as the larger flexible couplings.

Advantages

»

High steering convenience realisable due to very good decoupling performance in all directions

»Maintenance-free for life; protection of downstream components due to limitation
of torque peaks
 
»Short installation length due to use of Tenpu® cord technology      
 
»Large centre hole

Features

»
Three-part construction, consisting of elastomer, cord and metal parts (rivet or bush)
»
Reinforcing plates optionally available
» Metal parts bolted or riveted to adjacent parts
» Fine tuning to customer requests possible at any time without change in design
»
Elastomer and cord for high-temperature use (interior or engine room use) available

Functions

»

Substitute for cardan joints, depending on design, up to 15° bend angle

»

Reduces and isolates vibrations and structure-borne noise over a wide range due to the
interruption of the noise paths in the drive train.

»

Compensates axial displacements from unit movements and mounting tolerances.

»Maintenance-free for life
