Torsionally Rigid Couplings
Flender’s compact steel couplings are engineered to deliver exceptionally precise and reliable torque transmission in demanding industrial applications. Designed for high-performance power transmission systems, these couplings are capable of transmitting substantial torque loads while maintaining excellent operational accuracy and efficiency. Their robust all-steel construction ensures outstanding durability, making them particularly well suited for harsh operating environments where equipment is exposed to heavy loads, shock forces, vibration, and continuous operation. In addition, Flender steel couplings are designed to perform reliably across a wide temperature range, including extreme hot and cold conditions, providing consistent performance, reduced maintenance requirements, and long service life in even the most challenging industrial settings.
FLUDEX Fluid Coupling
FLUDEX® fluid couplings enhance drive train reliability by limiting starting and peak torque, providing smooth motor start-up and effective overload protection. They also dampen torsional vibrations and reduce shock loads, contributing to smoother operation and longer equipment life.
Operating on the proven Föttinger hydrodynamic principle, torque is transmitted through fluid movement rather than direct mechanical contact, resulting in wear-free operation, high reliability, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Highly Flexible Couplings
Highly elastic Flender couplings are specifically designed for applications involving machines with irregular or asymmetrical operating characteristics. Their exceptional elasticity enables them to effectively compensate for fluctuating loads, absorb shocks, and dampen torsional vibrations, thereby enhancing the overall stability and reliability of the drive system.
These couplings are particularly well suited for periodically excited systems, where cyclic load variations and vibration can have a significant impact on equipment performance and service life. By reducing dynamic stresses and isolating vibration between connected components, highly elastic Flender couplings help protect machinery, improve operating smoothness, and contribute to increased system efficiency and durability.
Backlash Free Couplings
Backlash free Flender couplings function as a modular interface between the motor and the driven machine, providing a reliable and precise connection for efficient power transmission. Designed specifically for servo and positioning drive applications, they ensure highly accurate, backlash-free operation, even under dynamic and demanding motion profiles. By maintaining consistent torque transfer and minimizing mechanical play, these couplings contribute to improved positioning accuracy, enhanced system responsiveness, and overall drive train stability. Their modular design also supports flexible integration across a wide range of machine configurations, simplifying installation and maintenance while ensuring dependable long-term performance.
