POLY Coupling PKZ
Product Announcement from KTR Corporation
The POLY coupling is a torsionally flexible, shear shaft coupling for general machinery. It is assembled by axially pluging the hubs into each other and has excellent dampening characteristics. Its unique features are the flexible elastomeric elements that are located in both coupling halves.
The POLY advantage – A much greater number of flexible elements and thus a larger effective mass of the elastomer to accept vibration and to dissipate the heat caused by torsional vibrations when compared to similar competitive couplings with elements only in one half.
The coupling consists of 2 hubs with fingers that are separated by elastomeric elements which are assembled by axial blind plug-in to each other. Elastomer elements are placed into the slots of both coupling hubs. Torque is transmitted in a compact design. Shaft misalignments, vibrations and shock loads are effectively absorbed by the POLY coupling.
The coupling is maintenance-free and used in general machinery, the pump industry and in compressors. The Poly coupling handles torque ranges of up to 65,000 Nm and is stocked in 21 different sizes and 4 designs for immediate availability. In addition to our standard coupling models, a variety of flange, drop out center and spacer options are available.
