Plug-flex Coupling

The ESBI PLUG-FLEX is a highly flexible plug-in type coupling which creates a torsionally soft connection between I.C. Engine & driven machines.

The inside diameter of the rubber disc element is vulcanized directly to a taper hub or on a metal sleeve. The metal sleeve is bolted to a hub in pilot bored condition. On its outer diameter, the rubber disc is engaged into an internally toothed aluminum casing making a backlash free plug-in connection.

Plug-flex shaft coupling design PFS is for shaft-to-shaft connection.

Advantages of highly flexible Plugflex couplings :

• Torsionally very soft.
  
• High damping capacity of torsional vibrations and shock loads.
  
• Designed for blind mounting with an axial float.
  
• Backlash free.
  
• Accepts high misalignment.
  
• Protects the drive against overloads.

The above characteristics of the coupling find itself to be very suitable for internal combustion engine drives apart from motor drives.

Plugflex coupling is suitable for a wide range of applications, which includes, gensets, compressors (rotary, reciprocating), marine propulsions, pumps, blowers, etc.
