Flexible Tyre Couplings

Salient Features

  • Lakshmi Tyre Couplings provide all the desirable features of an ideal flexible coupling, including Easy fit(Taper) fixing. They are 'torsionally elastic', offering versatility to designers and engineers with a choice of flange combinations to suit most applications.
  • The flanges are available in either 'F' or 'H' version Easyfit (Taper) fitting or bored to size 'B'.
  • With the addition of a spacer flange, the coupling can be used to accommodate standard distance between shaft ends (DBSE) and facilitate pump maintenance.
  • lakshmi tyres are available in natural rubber compounds for use in ambient temperatures between -500C to +500C.
  • Polychloroprene rubber compounds are available for use in adverse operating conditions, e.g. oil or grease contamination and can be used in temperatures of -150C to +700C.
  • FRAS Tyres are available for use when fire resistance and antistatic (F.R.A.S.) properties are required.
  • Torque Range
    • Nominal: 12,606 Nm.
    • Max.: 42,740 Nm.
  • Bore Range
    • Bore diameters upto 190 mm
  • Misalignment
    • Handles parallel, angular and axial displacements, either singly or in any combination. Can accommodate parallel misalignment upto 6 mm, angular misalignment upto 40 and end float upto 8 mm.
  • Torsionally Soft
    • Cushions against destructive shock loads protecting the complete system, preventing expensive breakdowns and lengthens machine life.
  • Free of Backlash
    • Does not create 'snatch' or take up of the drive.
  • Damping
    • Reduces vibration and torsional oscillations developed in internal combustion engines, the amplitude of which increases greatly at critical points in the speed range. lakshmi tyre coupling dampens these destructive vibrations.

  • Maintenance
    • Because there are no moving parts, no ubrication is required. Periodic inspection of the tyre is all that is required.
  • Environment
    • Use of natural or Neoprene rubber compounds makes the lakshmi Tyre Coupling suitable for use in most conditions. For fire hazard areas the F.R.A.S. tyre is recommended. This allows free flow of electricity between the two shafts to avoid static electricity build up.
