    RUPEX pin and bush couplings are flexible couplings suitable for potentially explosive environments that comply with certain directives. They link machine shafts while compensating for misalignment with weak restoring forces through elastomer buffers. This makes them flexible and robust for rough operating conditions. They are suitable for safety-critical applications like cable railways and lifting gear. RUPEX couplings are available in 26 standard sizes between 200 Nm and 1300000 Nm of rated torque and ambient temperatures of -30°C to +80°C.

    Flexible Couplings - RUPEX Series


    General information

    Overview

    Coupling suitable for potentially explosive environments. Complies with Directive 94/9/EC for: II 2 G T4 / T5 / T6 D120 C 30 C Ta +80 C / +50 C / +40 C I M2 RUPEX pin and bush couplings link machine shafts and compensate for shaft misalignment with weak restorative forces. The torque is conducted through elastomer buffers, so the coupling has typically flexible rubber properties. Thanks to their robust design, RUPEX couplings are also suitable for rough operating conditions.

    Benefits
    RUPEX couplings can also hold loads when overloaded and are therefore especially suitable for drives for special safety and reliability requirements. Torque shock loads and changing loads are no problem for robust, compact flexible RUPEX couplings. RUPEX couplings are fitted by putting together the coupling halves. Fitting with low torsional backlash is simplified by the barrel-shaped geometry of the buffers. RUPEX couplings require little maintenance. Only the elastomer buffers, as wear parts, need be replaced and the coupled machines need not be moved to do so. RUPEX couplings are suitable for reversing operation and horizontal and vertical fitting or fitting at any required angle.

    The steel variant is also especially suitable for high-speed drives.

    Application
    RUPEX couplings are available as a catalog standard in 26 sizes with a rated torque of between 200 Nm and 1300000 Nm. The coupling is suitable for use at ambient temperatures of between 30 C and +80 C. By using alternative elastomer buffers, the permissible ambient temperature range can be extended to between 50 C and +100 C. Frequently, the coupling is used to connect the gear shaft to the driven machine. In the case of drives without gear units, the coupling is particularly suitable for operation in rough conditions or heavy-duty drives with electric motor drive. Ventilator drives with high ventilator mass and drives in the cement industry are typical applications. Examples of particularly safety-relevant areas of application are cable railway drives, lifting gear for crane drives or escalator drives.

    Design
    A RUPEX coupling comprises two hub sections which are mounted on the machine shafts. The hub parts are connected positively by steel pins and elastomer buffers. The coupling can be fitted with add-on parts such as brake disks or brake drums. Up to size 360, the pins and buffers are fitted on one side. From size 400 up, the pins and buffers are fitted in the hubs on alternate sides.
