Evaluate elastomeric and metallic couplings for an application.
Couplings
Power plants with boiler feed pumps are finding more efficiency.
Pulp and paper plant faced a multimillion dollar revenue loss without an immediate fix.
An in-depth explanation of the differences between these two choices.
Lower coupling restoring forces can increase bearing and seal life.
One unique design transmits torque across the disc pack assemblies purely by friction, helping to prevent issues associated with stress concentration, backlash and chatter.
Some pumps were running with high vibration levels, while the disc couplings were failing on a regular basis.
