High-performance Couplings

The metastream h-fe couplings are designed for high speed turbo-alternator applications where weight and a high degree of reliability are critical.
The couplings are manufactured in high alloy steel, with high strength stainless steel flexible elements, supported by aircraft
standard fastenings.

Rigid Coupling

metastream c-series couplings incorporate a segmented, piloted locating design. This eliminates the shaft distortion associated with conventional
clam shell coupling designs.
the cplr is for industrial applications and the cpat is for api applications.
the cplr and cpat range of rigid couplings, are designed to transmit torque to vertically mounted equipment. Available in spacer, and non-spacer
versions, as well as axial adjustment to set vertical clearance.

L Series Coupling

The L series coupling range is an inexpensive solution to connecting two rotating shafts. Torque is transmitted through two sets of membranes,
normally separated by a spacer element, providing good levels of angular, lateral and axial misalignment.

Membrane Coupling

Radial spoke form membrane coupling with composite spacer element for long DBSE applications. Computer controlled, filament wound, matrix
torque tube with stainless steel hubs, hardware and disc packs
Up to 80% lighter than comparable welded metal torque tubes and corrosion resistant to cooling tower environment, temperatures up to 300oF
Mechanical fit of torque to flanges offers superior reliability and tube design virtually eliminates thermal expansion and sag.

Metallic Disc Couplings

The l series - flywheel range of metallic disc couplings has been specifically designed to provide a cost effective solution for demanding gas
compression applications. The couplings are selected by their torque capacity with the flywheel adapter being selected to suit a range of standard
flywheel sizes. The flywheel adapter fits accurately to the flywheel of the driving engine.

Metastream Coupling

The tlk coupling range, pioneered by john crane flexibox, is particularly suited for high torque electric motor, or turbine drives in critical process
industry, marine, and power generation. Torque is transmitted through two sets of membranes, separated by a spacer element, and protected by
two adaptable guard rings in a pre-assembled transmission unit.

Moment Membrane Coupling

The Metasteram H-RE series couplings are designed for medium to high speed Turbo-machinery applications where low overhung moment and
light weight with a high degree of reliability are critical.
The couplings are manufactured in high alloy steel, with high strength stainless steel flexible elements, supported by aircraft standard fastenings.
The couplings are generally balanced to API 671 or similar, with pilot location to retain a very high level of repeatability.
