Universal Joint Couplings suit construction equipment.

Press Release Summary:




Reich Arcusaflex® VSK U-joint couplings provide torsional dampening for connections between combustion engines and driven components. They mount to flywheel of combustion engine and attach through Cardan shaft connection. Couplings absorb and attenuate reactive forces acting on U-joint connection. They protect drive train against excessive mechanical strain by reducing resonance frequencies below operating speed and keeping torque spikes within limits.

Ringfeder Offers Universal Joint Couplings for Construction Equipment, Pump Systems Ship Drivers and Locomotives



Westwood, NJ- Ringfeder Corporation offers a wide range of highly flexible Reich Arcusaflex® VSK U-joint couplings engineered to provide a torsional dampening for connections between combustion engines and driven components.

Arcusaflex® VSK U-joint couplings mount to the flywheel of a combustion engine and attach through a Cardan shaft connection to power take-off gearboxes, converter gear boxes and pump drivers, etc. Each coupling is designed to transmit the weight of the Cardan shaft as well as to help absorb and attenuate any reactive forces acting on the U-joint connection. They are precision engineered to protect the drive train against excessive mechanical strain by reducing resonance frequencies below the operating speed and bringing torque spikes caused by this resonance within permissible limits.

Reich Arcusaflex® VSK U-joint couplings meet SAE J620 standards and are available in eight different sizes, both US and metric, in Metric Cardan, Spicer Cardan and Mechanics Cardan shaft connections with a torque range of 3,450- 141,600 lb-in. Special configurations are available upon request.

Ringfeder Corporation markets a wide range of quality brand power transmission components and has been the industry leader in keyless shaft/hub technology for more than 30 years. Some other power transmission solutions provided by Ringfeder include shock absorbing devices, flexible elastometric couplings, flexible disc couplings and torque limiters along with other specialty and custom made products.
