Couplings Engineered Couplings

RB & PM couplings Heavy duty industrial couplings providing exceptional protection against severe shock load and vibration Intrinsically fail-safe ensuring continuous operation of the driveline Control of resonant torsional vibration achieving low vibratory loads in the driveline with optimum stiffness characteristics Zero backlash eliminating torque amplification through pre-compression of the rubber elements

DCB GS The DCB-GS flexible couplings are designed to couple medium speed diesel and gas engines to alternators, pumps and compressors. It is a second generation coupling derived from Renold Hi-Tec Couplings existing DCB range. DCB-GS couplings have low weight and hence low inertia yet retain the unrivalled quality and endurance features of the standard DCB.

Mass transit couplings Renold Ajax is the leading North American manufacturer of Traction Couplings for Subway Rail Cars, having produced more than 20,000 units over the past 35 years for use in many cities in the US, Singapore, Malaysia, Brazil, and Korea.

VF couplings The highly flexible VF coupling has been designed for diesel engines that are mounted separately from the marine gear and which can be placed on flexible mounts. These flexible mounts provide optimum isolation of the vibrations of the diesel engine from the hull. The VF coupling can dampen torsional vibrations, tune the torsional response of the system and absorb the unavoidable substantial misalignments between the engine and the gear, it is specially suitable for high speed diesel engines with SAE flywheels from 14 to 21 and for power take offs up to a torque of 18.0 kNm.

Steel Mill spindles Renold Ajax is the industry leader in design and manufacturing of custom gear spindles and gear couplings. Our success in the primary metals industry can be attributed to design innovations like continuous oil lubrication, roll end piloting and compound tooth curvature. Continuing research and development, including finite element analysis and solid modelling design for each customers specification.
