GearFlex flexible couplings, developed by WEG for application between the reducer and generator shafts, ensure high performance by compensating for angular, parallel, and axial misalignments during operation. Available in F and T models, they are a safe and versatile solution, also suitable for installation in turbo reducers from other manufacturers.
GearFlex flexible couplings ensure high-performance operation by effectively compensating for angular, axial, and parallel misalignments between the reducer and generator shafts. Featuring advanced technology and an optimized design, the F and T models allow for flanged installations without requiring adjustments to equipment positioning or the existing civil base, simplifying assembly and disassembly during maintenance. Additionally, they are compatible with turbo reducers from other manufacturers, providing a versatile and reliable solution for various industrial applications.
Benefits of using the GearFlex coupling:
- Misalignment compensation: Reduces the effects of misalignments caused by the difference between the expected and actual thermal expansion of coupled machines.
- Base protection: Minimizes excessive stress on mounting bases, preventing structural failures due to severe misalignment.
- Improved cold alignment: Facilitates cold alignment recommended by manufacturers, ensuring greater precision during installation.
- Reduction of operational misalignment: Compensates for misalignments caused by improper startup procedures, such as acceleration ramps outside specifications.
- Support for high-load conditions: Withstands high-demand operations with frequent or instant engagements, ensuring stability and compatibility with automated control systems.
GearFlex coupling characteristics:
- Alloy steel - SAE 4140
- Thermochemical treatment Nitriding - 52/56 HRc
- Dynamic balancing grade ≤ 2.5
- Ground teeth - DIN 6 quality
