ARPEX all-steel couplings have proved themselves for over 30 years in all fields of engineering where reliable and maintenance-free transmission of torque is required in the case of shaft misalignments. The compact and rugged design ensures a long service life and a high degree of operational reliability.
Examples of application
Type approvals of many Classification Societies are on hand for the use of ARPEX couplings in shipbuilding.
Other examples of application are,
- Pumps
- Compressors
- Ventilators
- Paper machine drives
Special designs are used in
- Wind turbines
- High-speed generators
Advantages of the product
- Maintenance-free and wear-resistant
- Compensation of angular, radial and axial shaft misalignment possible
- Torsionally rigid and without circumferential backlash
- Temperature-resistant from -40 °C up to +280 °C
- Low restoring forces
- Independent of direction of rotation (reversing operation possible)
- Nearly vibration-free operation (even at max. permissible speed)
- Can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres; certified acc. to 94/9/EC (ATEX 95)
