Fenaflex - Shaft to Shaft

To enable designers and engineers to gain maximum advantage from this versatile range of couplings it is presented as individual flanges.

Fenaflex couplings embody all the desirable features of an ideal flexible coupling, including Taper-Lock fixing. They accommodate parallel mis-alignment up to 6 mm, angular misalignment up to 4 end float up to 8 mm.

The excellent shock-absorbing properties of the rubber component reduce vibration and torsional oscillations.

Fenaflex tyres and elements are available in natural rubber compounds for use in ambient temperatures between minus 50 C and plus 50 C.

Neoprene rubber compounds are used for temperatures of minus 15 C to plus 70 C or under adverse operating conditions - e.g. oil or grease contamination.

As contact between the metal flanges is eliminated Fenaflex couplings provide a certain degree of electrical isolation. However, for applications where fire-resistance and anti-static properties are required, neoprene (FRAS) tyres or elements should be used.

Any two flanges shown above may be combined with a Flexible Tyre to provide a coupling most suited to the application
(1) F Flange-Taper-Lock, (2) H Flange-Taper-Lock, (3) B Flange-Bored to Size.

SPACER - To a FLEXIBLE TYRE coupling add the appropriate SPACER flange, these couplings are designed to accommodate standard distances between shaft ends and facilitate pump maintenance.

HIGH SPEED - Combining a F, H or B S.G. Iron Flange with a FLEXIBLE ELEMENT and an X flange enables couplings to be used up to speeds of 4800 r/min.

X Flange (reversible High Speed Disc complete with 'W' Flange (bolt ring and screws)

FLYWHEEL - A range of Flexible Elements has been specially developed which fit directly to S.A.E. flywheels.
Refer to separate catalogue for flywheel couplings.
