Highly Flexible CouplingIntegral Shaft Support

A circular mechanical component with a central metallic hub and an outer ring. The outer ring has evenly spaced notches or teeth around the circumference. The central part is smooth and metallic, while the area between the hub and the outer ring is made of a darker material, possibly rubber or another composite material.

In addition to the Cardan shaft series coupling program VULKAN has developed the VULKAN ISS, the Integrated Shaft Support. The ISS fitts in installations where the Cardan shaft has a large angle of inclination. The ISS combines a bellhoused coupling with bearings capable to take the lateral and axial reaction forces of the Cardan shaft. The engine crankshaft loadings can therefore be reduced significantly. The integrated highly flexible coupling optimizes the torsional vibration characteristics of the system.

Benefits

  • Coupling offers protection of the crankshaft against axial or radial reaction forces
  • Customised solution for compensation of high angular displacement between the motor and the gearbox
  • It is flexible in use as an integrated elastic coupling with three models and a wide torque range
