Flexible Disc Couplings are available with Torsi-LockŪ hubs.
October 14, 2011 -
Suited for process pump and industrial applications, Torsiflex-i couplings feature disc pack design that optimizes torque load in compact package. Max bores are matched to NEMA motor shafts, and plug-in spacer design allows installation/removal without disturbing hubs. Meeting balance requirements of API 610, ATEX-compliant products come with zinc phosphate coating and anti-flail feature. Torsi-Lock Hubs provide secure torque transmission and balance repeatability of interference fit.

Ameridrives Torsiflex-i Couplings, Designed for Process Pump and General Industrial Applications, are Now Available with Torsi-LockŪ Hubs
Developed for API 610 service, Torsiflex-i flexible disc couplings feature a robust disc pack design, allowing for greater torque load in a smaller size, which results in lower weight. The couplings lower weight and longer bearing life yield a lower cost per application. Max bores matched to NEMA motor shafts provide up to a 60% weight savings. A plug-in spacer design allows installation and removal without disturbing the hubs. All models are ATEX compliant and come standard with a zinc phosphate coating, a built-in anti-flail feature, and inch series hub attachment screws (metric available).
Torsiflex-i couplings are now available with Torsi-LockŪ Hubs. Torsi-Lock offers the ease of a slip fit with the power of a shrink fit. Ameridrives Couplings has responded to industry demand for a cold-install hub that provides the secure torque transmission and balance repeatability of an interference fit. Ameridrives combined their AmerilocŪ shaft locking devices with Torsiflex-i to provide a fully pre-engineered solution that meets the balance requirements of API 610.
Cold installation of Torsiflex-i couplings with Torsi-Lock Hubs means NO HOT WORK PERMITS, providing added safety and productivity in hazardous environments.
Torsi-Lock hubs provide easy, repeatable removal and installation, and eliminate fretting of hub to shaft. The hubs compensate for variances in shaft spacing - units can be slipped on and fixed in the needed location. The Hub and locking device are balanced and match-marked to assure optimum balance performance.
