Features
|
Benefits
|
Greater Misalignment Capacity
|
When misalignment occurs due to mechanical equipment shifting, greater than one degree of angular misalignment per flex disc allowed.
|
Composite Flex Discs
|
Color coded by size for easy identification. Includes integral 316 SS bushings.
|
Registered Bushings & Flanges
|
Lower stress concentrations and better assurance of alignment.
|
High Strength Composite Flange Hubs
|
Spacer tube flange hubs are strong and corrosion resistant, while at the same time lightweight, reducing overhung loads.
|
316 SS Flange Hubs
|
Corrosion resistance of stainless steel for motor & gearbox hubs.
|
Standard 316 SS Hardware
|
Since precision hardware is not required, fasteners are easily replaced, and at lower costs. Optional monel hardware available.
|
High Service Factor Rating
|
Capable of withstanding repetitive high start-up torques.
|
Balancing
|
All drive shafts are dynamically balanced to AGMA 9000-C90, Class 9 specifications.
|
Process Verification
|
Each Amarillo composite drive shaft is tested to 4 times continuous operating torque prior to shipment.
|
Easier Installation
|
Fewer parts required at each flex disc connection.
|
Special Shipping Tubes
|
Designed to give ultimate drive shaft protection for both international and domestic shipments.
