 Flexible DESCH Flex-couplings

DESCH Flex shaft couplings

The DESCH Flex coupling combines all the advan-

tages which can be expected of an ideal flexible
coupling. Additionally it is suitable for taper
bushes. The DESCH-Flex coupling is a torsional
flexible coupling which offers a wide spectrum of
cases of applications to the technical designers
and the engineers by combining the different
types of steel flanges for many different applica-
tions. The flanges are offered for assembling with
taper bush or final bored.
DESCH Flex is a high flexible tyre-coupling which Type
can because of the special builded tyre take an > Standard coupling for finish bore

tyre can according to standard be radially
assembled and disassembled without shifting
the connected engines.The transmission of the
torque takes place absolutely free from back-
lasch. It is suitable to take up torsional impacts
and to damp arising vibrations.The tyre with
fabric inside is either made of natural rubber or
of Neoprene in fireresistant, antistatic and oilre-
sistant execution, short called FRAS-Execution.
The FRAS-tyre is also used in duties with EX-
Operations according to the regulations 94/9/EG
(ATEX).Tyres made of natural rubber are suitable Flexible DESCH Flex coupling with
for ambient temperatures between -50°C and taper bush
+50°C. Tyres in FRAS-Execution are suitable for
ambient temperatures between -15°C and +70°C. DESCH Flex coupling combines the advantages
of the elastic couplings with those of the
taper bush system: fast and simple assembly
of a torsionally flexible connection of shafts
and compensation for shaft alignment errors.
DESCH Flex couplings with taper bush have
the advantage that even with greater shaft
tolerances there is a backlash-free and at the
same time axial fixing of the shaft. In addition
the close sliding fit makes axial alignment of
the coupling easier.

Allowable misalignments

> ∆ Kr/a/W = allowable radial, axial or angular

misalignment of the shafts resp.
of the coupling-halves

> Radial misalignment > Axial misalignment > Angular misaligment

> The values given for ∆ K W [mm] = Smax - Smin (see page 4) correspond to a angular offset of ∆ K W=4°. This permissible angular shaft
offset is the largest angular offset of the coupling halves, which may only be fully utilised if there is no axial and radial offset.
An angular offset of ∆ K W2° is permissible if axial and radial offsets of 1/2 ∆ K a and 1/2 ∆ Kr are present.

Selection
The torque of the machine TAN is determind by: PMotor [kW]
TAN [Nm] = 9550 x
n [rpm]

This torque TAN mutiplied by a safty factor S depending on the application (see table page 7)
gives the required nominal coupling torque TKN.
