Couplings cure misalignment problems

RENOLD Hi-Tec’s range of UJ couplings is said to offer an effective solution for serious misalignment problems in power-transmission systems for torques of up to 18,000Nm.

Comprising a rubber-in-compression coupling and a universal joint assembly, the UJ couplings are designed to transmit torque between a diesel engine and a driven interface where the two cannot be aligned accurately.

The couplings can also be used where there is distance between the driving and driven elements or where one can move radially and axially in relation to the other.

Renold Hi-Tec say the rubber-in-compression coupling is intrinsically fail safe, controls torsional vibration and provides damping for the drivetrain.

Typically suited to off-road vehicles and machinery and pump sets, the UJ coupling range is designed to accept industry standard DIN, SAE, and MECHANICS flange designs for engine flywheels from SAE 10 to SAE 24.
