Couplings are the critical connection in most power transmission systems, and yet all too often they are overlooked – until it’s too late.

So rather than risk catastrophic failure and unnecessary downtime, it’s best to specify the right high-quality coupling for the job, right from the start.

Two of the market-leading brands are available direct from ERIKS, supported by a dedicated  Couplings & Drives Centre of Excellence - providing the technical know-how that’s only possible when you have accumulated over 200 years of product development expertise.

Resilient to rigid

One of the most trusted brands worldwide is Fenner, which supplies couplings for a wide range of industrial sectors. The brand has built up an impressive track record of proven solutions for power transmission applications, and offers a selection of coupling designs ranging from highly resilient to rigid.

Precision manufactured from high-quality materials, Fenner couplings are available in:

  • Cast iron
  • Steel
  • Polymers and
  • Composites

They range from the simple, low-cost Jaw Coupling, made from various elastomeric element materials, to the Fenaflex Tyre Coupling, which represents the ultimate in machine protection – with high resilience and maximum flexibility to accommodate shaft misalignment.

In the middle of the range, the HRC Elastomeric Coupling offers a cost-effective solution for electric motor drives, and the Rigid Coupling provides simple and easy shaft connection, with the convenience of Taper Lock® fixing.

 

Lowest TCO

Rexnord Falk Couplings are well-known for their durability in critical applications. Offering a choice of Gear, Grid, Elastomeric and composite technology-type couplings, the Rexnord Falk range provides market-leading benefits for a huge range of industry sectors and application types – and all for the lowest Total Cost of Ownership.

The lowest-cost solution – ideal for the simplest applications – is the Wrapflex Elastomeric Coupling with its polyurethane element, which enables easy in-situ replacement. For larger shaft sizes or higher power ratings, the Thomas XTSR Disc Coupling has a stainless steel disc-pack element, and zero maintenance costs.

Featuring a spring steel flexible element, the Steelflex Grid Coupling offers a low lifetime cost, while the Lifelign Gear Coupling is a highly cost-effective solution for the largest shaft sizes (bore capacity up to 1,000mm) and the highest power ratings (torque capacity up to 8,000kNm).

The Lifelign Gear coupling is available in four different coupling types:

  • Flanged
  • Continuous sleeve
  • Mill motor and
  • Axial slide

When fitted in conjunction with the Falk LTG grease the Steelflex and Lifelign gear couplings are guaranteed for 5 years.
