4 Characteristics
 Progressive characteristic with low rigidity and increased but moderate
rigidity at high torques
 Anti-spin
 Simple, reliable, no vulcanisation, the rubber elements are only subjected to
strain when pressure applied
 Specially developed, temperature-resistant elastomer CENTALAN with high
damping effect, can be used at high ambient temperatures up to 120°C
(248°F)
 For difficult operating conditions or applications, we recommend the use of
our special "HD" rollers, these are also resistant to oil and can be used at
ambient temperatures up to 140°C (284°F)
 In small gearboxes with splined shafts at the input shaft, the coupling may
move in an axial direction. For this reason, there is a retainer plate mounted
on the outer flange that secures the coupling axially
 Well proven in use and approved by classification organisations
 High dissipation due to intensive internal and external ventilation
 Economical and service-friendly
 Simple mounting - axial plug-in capability
 Protected by international patents
 Direction of motor rotation only counterclockwise (CCW) (looking onto the
motor flywheel)
