Find out more about the three couplings N-EUPEX ERN with torque limiter for more safety in your drivetrain, N-EUPEX B plus clamping element for increased serviceability and the shortest double-cardanic N-EUPEX DKS on the market.

High-quality solutions for your plant

A wide variety of N-EUPEX® types offer optimum coupling solutions for every challenge. Couplings with a double-cardanic design, with torque limiter, with clamping element or short design enrich the extensive modular system of pin couplings. The flexible modular system provides sustainable options that optimize machines and systems and reduce maintenance. A high combination diversity and flexibility is ensured by diverse components.

Robust and proven a million times

Due to their torsional flexibility, N-EUPEX® couplings can move critical torsional vibrations away from the operating area of mechanical equipment in such a way that no negative effects on the drive train are to be expected. N-EUPEX couplings are made of high-quality cast iron. The flexible elements made of synthetic rubber (NBR) are available in different degrees of hardness for many applications. In addition, elastomers made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and of NBR with fabric inserts for increased load-bearing capacity are offered. Metal pins and flexible elements are designed so that no wear occurs when they are properly fitted.

Your benefits at a glance

  • Fail-safe for maximum operational reliability

 Did you know?

Original FLENDER® elastomers ensure the optimal operation of your system. The flexible elements of the N-EUPEX coupling are subject to compression. If the flexible elements are irreparably damaged, the hub parts come into contact with metal. This “emergency operation capability” is required, e.g., in the case of fire pump drives.

N-ARPEX All-Steel Coupling

THE BEST-PERFORMING COUPLING ON THE MARKET

  • Backlash-free, torsionally rigid all-steel multi-disk coupling
  • Nominal torque range from TKN = 350 Nm to 2,000,000 Nm
  • Temperature range: from –50 °C to +280 °C

 

Investment costs, lifecycle costs, power-to-weight ratio, fitness for use and the cost of purchasing couplings are key considerations for equipment manufacturers.

With the introduction of the new N-ARPEX® all-steel multi-disk coupling Flender is continuing the success story of the proven ARPEX® series of couplings. The N-ARPEX is currently the most powerful coupling on the market due to the consistent further development of the ARPEX – a leap in performance that in this size could only be achieved by means of various design features. With the N-ARPEX, Flender delivers the optimum price-performance ratio.

With our all-steel couplings, the reliable transmission of torque between the shafts to be connected is backlash-free, torsionally rigid and flexurally elastic. This enables them to compensate for axial, angular and radial misalignment. Our multi-disk couplings are not prone to wear and are maintenance-free.

The couplings have been designed for use in potentially explosive environments as defined in Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) and comply with the requirements in standards
API 610 and API 671.

Your benefits at a glance

Lower costs through higher performance
An optimized plate pack design and a revised component design enable transmission of very high torques and speeds.

Low bearing loads through low weight
A marked increase in bore capacities with standard hubs increases performance capability and lowers the N-ARPEX’s weight.

Versatility for maximum fitness for use
Its suitability for use at low temperatures between –50 °C and +280 °C and its high misalignment capacities of up to 1° enable the N-ARPEX to be used for many different purposes in special conditions.

Easy selection and reduction in storage costs
The bundling of the ARPEX ARS®, ARC® and ARP® series together to make a single serie N-ARPEX ARN® results in a reduction in complexity from 67 to 37 couplings. Thus, storage costs are reduced. Choosing the desired coupling is much easier.
