General

ARCUSAFLEX coupling design AC


The ARCUSAFLEX coupling is a highly flexible flywheel coupling with an axial plug-in facility. It provides a
torsionally soft connection between an internal combustion engine and a driven machine.
The highly flexible torque transmission characteristic is achieved by a disc-shaped rubber element that is subjected
to a torsional load and enables both, the absorption of high torsional vibrations and the compensation of major
misalignments. For an optimum adaptation to the conditions of application three different kinds of vulcanisates are
available: For application temperatures up to 80C a natural/synthetic caoutchouc mixture as a standard version,
up to 100C a more heat resistant mixture and for higher application temperatures up to 130C a silicone mixture.
The inside diameter of the rubber disc element is vulcanized directly to a taper hub or bolt-on sleeve. The toothed
profile on the circumference of the element provides in service a virtually backlash-free, positive plug-in connection
to the coupling flange.
The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling series covers a torque range from 200 - 110000 Nm (corresponding to
approx. 6500 kW at 1000 rpm). Element versions of different torsional stiffnesses are available for optimizing the
torsional vibration range. The flange connection dimensions of ARCUSAFLEX couplings comply predominantly
with the SAE J 620 and DIN 6281 standards. Other flange dimensions or overall lengths can be provided on
request.
Shaft-to-shaft connections when required can be met by ARCUSAFLEX shaft couplings which consist of
ARCUSAFLEX flywheel couplings of the standard design equipped with a second hub.
Type approvals by a number of leading classification societies are available. If required, couplings complete with
fail safe devices can also be supplied.
ARCUSAFLEX couplings comply to explosion protection according to ATEX 95. They are certified according to the
directive 94/9/EC and may be used in hazardous locations (categories M2, 2 + 3).

Main features of the highly flexible ARCUSAFLEX couplings

Very high torsional flexibility with a linear torsional deflection characteristic


High torsional vibration and shock load absorbing capability
Backlash-free torque transmission
Ease of assembly thanks to the plug-in type design with ample axial float
Compensation of major misalignments
Torque limitation protecting the drive against overload
ATEX 95

Types

Taper bush

Taper hub with rubber element


Flange

ARCUSAFLEX type AC-T with taper bush


The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling type AC-T...F2 is equipped with a taper bush for shaft mounting. The rubber
disc element is vulcanized directly to the taper hub. After completion of the assembly, a shrink-fit-like connection,
free from backlash is established between the coupling hub with rubber disc element and the shaft.
Thanks to the use of commercially available taper bushes with a number of different bore dimensions, the need for
finishing the bore and keyway of the coupling hub is omitted for the ARCUSAFLEX coupling type AC-T. The
torque, which can be transmitted, depends on the particular taper bush.
Advantage: Ease of assembly and disassembly with no need for special tools!

Bolted hub

Element with bolt-on sleeve


Flange

ARCUSAFLEX type AC...F2 with bolted hub


The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling type AC...F2 has the r ubber disc element vulcanized to a bolt-on sleeve
which in turn is bolted to a hub or similar component.
Advantage: Depending on the arrangement of the rubber disc element, two different mounting lengths can be
achieved using one and the same coupling hub.

Element versions: WN = 55 Shore A; NN = 65 Shore A; SN = 75 Shore A; UN = 85 Shore A


Due to the physical characteristics of the rubber materials the measurable rubber hardness is subject to a dispersion,
which is defined according to DIN 53505 with 5 Shore A. Because of in-house manufacturing this dispersion of the
shore hardness can be minimized.

Technical note :
The technical data applies only to the complete coupling or the corresponding coupling elements. It is the
customers/users responsibility to ensure there are no inadmissible loads acting on all the components. Especially
existing SAE bolt connections have to be checked regarding the transmittable torque, if necessary other measures,
e.g. additional reinforcement by pins, may be required. It is also the customers/users responsibility to make sure
the dimensioning of the shaft and keyed or other connection is correct. With the type AC-T...F2 the transmittable
torque is dependant among others on the torque capacity of the taper bush.
REICH-KUPPLUNGEN have an extensive programme of couplings to cover nearly every drive configuration.
Furthermore customized solutions can be developed and be manufactured also in small series or as prototypes.
Calculation programmes are available for coupling selection and sizing. - Please challenge us!

1.6 - 2.0 TAN

TKN

TAN = nominal torque of the drive

TKmax1 is the highest permissible maximum torque of the application taking for example into account starting,
stopping and running through the resonance speed.
TKmax2 is the highest permissible peak torque, which can occur with a limited number of application related
conditions, e.g. short-circuit, synchronization failure, emergency stop.

Type AC with bolted hub:

Bolt-on sleeve of spheroidal cast iron grade GGG 40 / bolted hub of steel
(min. yield strength 360 MPa)

Selection of the proper coupling size


The coupling size to be used in conjunction with internal combustion engines is dimensioned and selected with a
view to torsional vibration. For a preliminary selection use the engine torque TAN, a general safety factor of S = 1.3 1.5 should be applied for ARCUSAFLEX couplings with flexible rubber disc elements of natural/synthetic
caoutchouc.
The following requirements should be satisfied for a proper selection of the coupling size:
1.

The nominal torque capacity TKN of the coupling


should be at least equal to the max. engine torque TAN
at any operating temperature while taking the temperature factor S t into account.

TKN

TAN S t

Calculation of the nominal engine torque:


TAN [Nm] = 9550

The temperature factor St allows for a decreasing load


carrying capability of the coupling at elevated ambient
temperatures. In this connection St = St1 is valid for
the standard version and S t = S t2 is valied for the
silicone version.
2.

The maximum torque capacity TKmax of the coupling


should be at least equal to the highest torque Tmax at
any operating temperature while taking the temperature factor St into account.

3.

The permissible continuous fatigue torque under


reversing stresses TkW of the coupling should be at
least equal to the highest fatigue torque under
reversing stresses TW encountered throughout the
operating speed range while taking the temperature
and frequency into account. The frequency factor Sf
allows for the frequency dependence of the permissible continuous fatigue torque under reversing
stresses TKW (10 Hz) for other frequencies fx.

The dimensioning of the coupling should be checked for permissible coupling loads by means of a torsional
vibration analysis which will be conducted by us on request. When using ARCUSAFLEX couplings in drives with
great torque transmission variations, an additional safety factor should be applied for torque transmission to the
driven machine. Lists specifying couplings assigned to different ratings and torsional vibration conditions are
available for all common internal combustion engines operating at constant speeds to facilitate your selection of an
operationally safe coupling.
The coupling can be equipped with an additional balancing mass on the primary or secondary side, if this is
required due to the torsional vibration conditions or for control reasons.

Further information for the torsional vibration calculation and for use of the ARCUSAFLEX rubber disc coupling are
available upon request.

Tightening torques
for ARCUSAFLEX flywheel couplings
All boIts and screws must be tightened to the specified torques during assembly in order to ensure a reliable torque
transmission. Prior to putting the machinery into operation, all bolts and screws of the coupling must be checked for proper fit
and tightness. The indicated torques apply to an total friction factor of = 0.14. For further questions please ask REICHKUPPLUNGEN.

Alignment
Careful alignment of the coupling is an essential requirement for detached, non-flanged machinery in order to
ensure proper functioning of the coupling and to avoid premature wear of the rubber element.
Flywheel couplings shall be aligned from the shaft-side coupling half to either one of the machined surfaces of the
engine flywheel or engine housing. Where shaft couplings are used, the angular and radial displacements between
the two coupling halves are determined by applying the usual dial indicator method. The alignment requirements of
the other application components have to be considered additionally.

ARCUSAFLEX shaft coupling

Permissible shaft displacement


The permissibility of major shaft displacements depends on a number of factors such as coupling size, shore
hardness of the rubber element, operating speed and torque load of the coupling. The following reference values
refer to an operating speed of ~ 1500 rpm.
Precise alignment prevents premature wear of the rubber element.

Larger displacements of short duration, as may occur when starting and stopping the diesel engine, are permissible. These maximum displacements must not occur simultaneous.
*) At types AC...F2K and AC...TK the axial fitting length L F of the coupling should always offer a plus tolerance
within the possible tolerance range in order to reach max. axial movability of the dismantled coupling element.

Safety precautions
It is the customers and users responsibility to provide proper guards over rotating machinery and to
observe the national and international safety rules and laws.
Check all bolted connections for proper fit preferably after the test run.

Coupling Selection / Torsional Vibration Calculation
acc. to the 2-mass-system (DIN 740 part 2)
The dimensioning of the coupling should be supported by a torsional vibration analysis particularly with a view to the
acting fatigue torque under reversing stresses. We are able to conduct this analysis according to the 2 or n-mass
system when all required technical details are given.

General technical description


Cardan shafts are used in a drive train when a large shaft displacement or an extended distance between the drive
and the driven components must be compensated. Depending on the arrangement of the drive train components, a
non-uniform motion of the speed may result, and since cardan shafts exhibit some torsion flexibility, the mass of the
prime mover and driven machine may induce a resonant system.
If the prime mover is an internal combustion engine, a highly flexible AC-VSK coupling is required to protect the drive
train from dynamic overload. Highly flexible AC-VSK couplings are capable of shifting resonant ranges below the
lowest operating speed and of reducing resonance-induced vibratory torques under reversed stresses to tolerable
levels.
The highly flexible AC-VSK coupling is mounted on the engine flywheel, ahead of the drive train with drive shaft. The
AC-VSK coupling contains its own axial and radial bearing to support the weight of the drive shaft and its reaction
forces.
Coupling Sizes
The AC-VSK coupling series is available in nine standard sizes covering a torque range from 390 to 20 000 Nm. REICHKUPPLUNGEN has an extensive programme of couplings to cover nearly every drive configuration. Customized solutions can be developed and manufactured even in small batches or as prototypes. Calculation programmes are available
for coupling selection and sizing. - Please challenge us!

Application of the highly flexible ARCUSAFLEX-VSK couplings


For use with combustion engines in conjunction with drive shafts for splitter gearboxes, torque converters, ship gearboxes, control gears and pump drives, for example in drives of construction equipment, excavators, cranes, marine
propulsion, locomotives, pump installations and dump trucks.
Advantages of the ARCUSAFLEX-VSK couplings:
Linear torsional deflection characteristic

Elements available in different torsional stiffnesses


Enhanced damping capacity through frictional damping
Maintenance-free coupling bearings
Radial bearing close to the cardan joint
A variety of designs for different cardan shaft configurations
Many types with SAE connection dimensions or as specified
Compact construction, the highly flexible element being protected by the housing
Fail-safe device visible from the outside for ease of inspection

The highly flexible ARCUSAFLEX-VSK couplings of the type AC-VSK ... F2 are specially designed for fitting
to flywheels of internal combustion engines. The coupling flanges c of the standard design therefore match
engine flywheels with SAE connecting dimensions.
The highly flexible coupling element g, is made of rubber bonded to steel discs and is mounted with an axial
preload acting on the thrust bearing f. The output flange d, used to connect the cardan shaft is precisely located
by means of the thrust bearing f and the radial bearing e ensuring excellent concentricity.
The dynamic performance of the coupling is improved by the pre-loaded rubber element and stabilizing effect
of the support bearings providing enhanced damping capacity due to additional frictional damping.

Shore hardness of the rubber element version: EN = 50 Shore A; WN = 55 Shore A; NN = 65 Shore A

The relative damping relates only to the elastomer. The frictional damping of the bearings has to be considered seperately, depending on the
type of operation.

Coupling size selection


The selected coupling for internal combustion engine drives should be verified
by a torsional vibration analysis which we will provide on request. A preliminary
selection of the coupling can, however, be made based on the continuous engine power being transmitted.

TAN [Nm] = 9550

Calculation of the nominal drive torque TAN:

P[kW ]
n[rpm]

TKN > TAN St

The nominal torque capacity TKN of the coupling should be at least equal to
the maximum engine torque TAN at any operating temperature.
The temperature factor St allows for the decreasing load capacity of the coupling when affected by elevated ambient temperatures close to the coupling.
The torsional vibration analysis to verify the coupling selection should confirm
that the permissible continous vibratory torque under reversing stresses TKW
is at least equal to the highest vibratory torque under reversing stresses TW
encountered throughout the operating speed range whilst taking into account
the temperature and frequency.
The frequency factor Sf allows for the frequency dependence of the permissible continuous vibratory torque under reversing stresses TKW (10 Hz) when
operating with a different frequency fx.

Assembly and maintenance instructions


General
The highly flexible ARCUSAFLEX-AC-VSK coupling is well suited for installation with drive shafts because of its internal support by the radial and thrust bearings. The use of appropriate bearing materials makes the AC-VSK coupling
maintenance-free.
The coupling element is suitable for ambient temperatures of -40 C to 80 C.
All couplings meet the balancing grade of G=16 for n=1500 rpm acc. to ISO 1940.
Assembly
Prior to the assembly, all parts of the coupling must be cleaned. All closely toleranced surfaces are protected with
Tectyl preservative ex works. These surfaces must be cleaned with a suitable solvent prior to installation of the coupling. The solvent which is used for cleaning must not contact the rubber.
All bolted connections of the coupling should be tightened with a torque wrench and the correct bolt tightening torque
must be checked. The prescribed bolt tightening torques must be precisely observed. As standard the values shown
below are valid except when other values are specified. Values stated on the specific design drawing take presidence.
The coupling in its fully assembled condition is bolted to the engine flywheel and the full bolt tightening torque is applied. Then the flange of the drive shaft is bolted to the flange of the coupling.

Values are reduced by 20% for bolts with additional lubrication.

Disassembly
First the drive shaft must be disconnected from the coupling. Then the coupling is unbolted from the engine flywheel
and lifted out. To take the coupling apart, the bolt connections of the rubber elements must be released.

Safety precautions
lt is the customers and users responsibility to observe the national and international safety rules and laws.
Proper safety devices must be provided for the coupling to prevent accidental contact.
Check all bolted connections for the correct tightening torque and fit after a short running period preferably
after a test run.

General maintenance and wear inspection


Within the established periodic maintenance and inspections of other parts of the installation, the coupling should
regularly be visually inspected. Generally the internal bearing support in the coupling is maintenance-free. If there are
any conspicuous symptoms a closer inspection is necessary.
The coupling must be disassembled according to the instructions. The visible outside and inside diameter of the
rubber part of the removed coupling element has to be checked for possible cracks and separations. If there is any
damage the coupling element must be replaced. At this time it is advisable to replace the bearings as well.
The thrust bearing (friction disc) and the radial bearing (bearing bush) must be replaced if rough running is observed,
or if a tilting clearance at the coupling is detectable. The thrust bearing (friction disc) must be replaced if there is a
relative axial play between the drive shaft flange and the housing of the coupling. The radial bearing (bearing bush)
must be replaced if the radial wear R is exceeded. For this the radial relocation of the drive shaft flange to the coupling housing can be measured (see picture). The values shown in the table below serve as a guide. The running
surfaces of the bearings must not be damaged. No reworking of the precision surfaces is advisable, if damaged these
particular parts must be replaced.
During maintenance the coupling must be thoroughly cleaned.

The wear of the bearing bush is equal to half of the measured radial wear R

During all operation phases the coupling has to run silently and vibration-free. Any deviation from this smooth behaviour during running indicates the need for closer inspection, repair or replacement.
In general a rebalancing of the coupling after replacing worn parts is not necessary. If rough running is observed
after the repair, a further inspection is necessary and balancing may be required.

4 Good reasons for your ArcuDent Coupling


Precision and High standards
ArcuDent is a 100% steel coupling, manufactured with accuracy by REICH-KUPPLUNGEN. Its components include
two internally geared half covers, which are tightened together with a set of treated bolts. The half covers are then
assembled onto two geared hubs. The teeth of the hubs and covers receive shape corrections, which are calculated
and optimized by REICH-KUPPLUNGEN to obtain maximum contact surface under load, and to allow the highest
misalignment capacity.

General
Reich are looking back to more than 50 years of experience in the development and production
of couplings for a wide variety of applications.
Dedicated to permanent innovation, we are pleased to present our new FlexDur all metallic
multiple disc coupling that ensures torsionally rigid torque transmission with zero torsional
backlash between the prime mover and the driven machine. The FlexDur coupling series are
complementary, not alternative, to our well-known range of all metallic multiple disc couplings.
FlexDur shaft couplings compensate for axial, radial1) and angular shaft displacements.

Salient features of FlexDur all metallic couplings:


?

Torsionally rigid torque transmission with zero torsional backlash

Wear-free compensation of axial, radial1) and/or angular shaft displacements

Little restoring forces in the case of shaft displacements thanks to the use of thin laminated
discs

Neither maintenance, nor lubrication required

For use at ambient temperatures from 25 C to + 250 C

Compact design even suited for high and very high rotational speeds

Infinite life, proper shaft alignment provided

1)

for radial displacement applications, couplings with two disc packs are required.

FlexDur couplings are flexible compensating couplings of


all metallic design which transmit the torque in a torsionally
rigid and backlash-free manner. The transmission elements are disc packs of stainless spring steel plates which
are attached to the coupling components by closetolerance bolts.
Each flexible disc pack is torsionally rigid in the circumferential direction but axially and angularly flexible due to resilience.
As the individual disc pack (single joint coupling) is radially
rigid, couplings for radial displacement compensation are
always equipped with two disc packs which are attached to
the spacer over a specific distance (double joint coupling).
The radial compensating capability ? Kr of a double joint coupling is derived from the respective
permissible bending angle ? of the flexible element and from the distance b of the elements and
can be determined as follows:
? Kr = b ? tan(? )
The FlexDur coupling series comprises couplings for a torque range from 90 to 870 000 Nm for
which disc packs for 4, 6, 8 and 10 bolts are available.

The disc packs for 6, 8 and 10 bolts are waisted for a high bending flexibility so that an even
stress distribution is obtained in the cross-section of the discs. The individual discs are bushed
to one unit for enabling higher speeds, minimizing unbalanced masses and facilitating assembly.
FlexDur couplings are wear-free when compensating for shaft displacements and generate no
significant restoring forces for the bearing assemblies of the connected shafts. FlexDur couplings offer a virtually infinite life, expert design and assembly provided.

Selection of the proper coupling size


The coupling size should be adequately dimensioned to ensure that the
permissible nominal torque capacity TKN of the coupling is not exceeded in
any operating condition or speed range encountered. The torque of the driving or driven side is calculated as follows:

TAN/LN [Nm] ? 9550

P [kW]
n [r.p.m.]

Besides the coupling load due to the driving torque TAN and the mode of operation of the prime mover, the coupling
may also be subjected to additional loads depending on the type of the driven machine.
A service factor SFD for the prime mover (table 1) and a service factor SFA for the driven machine (table 2) shall
therefore be taken into account when determining the coupling size.
The two service factors SFA and SFD shall be added to obtain the combined
service factor SF:

SF ? SFA ? SFD
TKN ? TAN ?SF

Determine the coupling size:

Loads on the FlexDur couplings at maximum torque capacity


FlexDur couplings are capable of transmitting short-time peak loads up to their maximum torque capacity with no
need for allowance of an additional safety factor. Peak torques Tmax (stall torque etc.) shall, however, be taken into
account when selecting the coupling size and must not exceed the maximum torque capacity of the coupling. In
individual case there eventually has to be selected an appropriate bigger coupling.
When used in conjunction with an induction motor, a starting torque as high as 6-8 times the normal motor torque
can be generated due to electrical influences on direct starting so that adequate allowance shall be made in the
coupling design.

Calculation example
A spacer coupling is required for connecting an electric motor at a nominal power of 250 kW and a rotational speed
of 1000 r.p.m. to a 230 kW centrifugal pump. The shaft diameters are 75 mm and 70 mm.
Select the coupling configuration S
Service factors:
a) Centrifugal pump (normal)
b) Electric motor
TOTAL
Selected coupling:

Min. nominal torque required:


SFA = 1.0
SFD = 0.0
SF = 1.0

TAN ? 9550

230 kW
?1.0 ? 2197 Nm
1000 r.p.m.

FD 185-6 S with a nominal torque capacity of TKN = 3300 Nm, a maximum torque capacity of
TKmax = 6600 Nm and allowing an axial displacement of ? Ka = ? 3.7 mm and an angular displacement of ? Kw = 1.5.

Check the maximum torque: e.g. with starting factor 2.5 a maximum torque Tmax = 2.5 x 2197 Nm = 5493 Nm <
TKmax = 6600 Nm is given.
Check the displacement to be expected.
Check the bores: The maximum bore of the FD 185-6 is 80 mm. This dimension is larger than the actual bores
(70 mm < 80 mm / 75 mm < 80 mm).
Check the nominal speed: The nominal speed 1000 r.p.m. is smaller than the maximum speed capacity
10500 r.p.m. and is also smaller than the maximum speed capacity 4200 r.p.m. for unbalanced coupling.
Balancing of the coupling is not requested.

Materials
The flexible elements of the FD-4 series comprise laminated single plates of stainless spring steel. Hubs and
spacers of the FD-4 standard series are of GG 25. Hubs for demanding applications and extended spacers are
made of steel.
The FD-6/8/10 standard series includes flexible disc packs with the single stainless spring steel plates being fixed
by close-tolerance bushes. Hubs and spacers are made of steel as a standard.
All FlexDur coupling components can be made of special materials on request.

Permissible shaft displacements


The values specified in the tables for the axial and angular shaft displacements are maximum values which are
reduced as a function of the torque load when the two show up at the same time.
The diagrams shall help determine the respective permissible angular displacement as a function of the axial
displacement and/or torque load.

For coupling versions with a long intermediate shaft or a long spacer, the permissible radial displacement is calculated as follows (see page 4):
? Kr = b tan(? )

Balancing
Thanks to the all-side metal cutting, FlexDur couplings have a symmetric mass distribution so that additional balancing is not required for most industrial applications.
The approximate values in the following diagram indicate for which applications dynamic balancing is recommended.

Mounting instructions
1. Mounting the hubs on the shafts
a) Keyed cylindrical shafts
FlexDur hub bores are machined with a H7 (ISO-286) tolerance as a standard.
We recommend to machine the shaft with an interference fit with s6 (ISO-286)
tolerance.
If the shafts are already machined with a tolerance other than s6, the bore can
be adapted to the hubs. The following tolerances are recommended in such a
case:

Shaft tolerance Hub tolerance


h6
T7
k6
R7
m6
P7
n6
N7
p6
M7

b) Clamped joints
If clamped joints such as taper bushes are used, we recommend to machine the shafts with g6 tolerances for
FlexDur standard bores.For other types of joints please consult our Engineering Department.
2. Alignment of the machines
FlexDur couplings enjoy a long life as long as the machine components are aligned within the limits specified in this
catalogue. However, it should be understood that the life of the disc packs is affected directly by the displacement
encountered in operation. In other words: The better the alignment, the longer the life expectancy of the coupling.
FlexDur couplings are capable of working adequately safe with the displacements specified in the catalogue. Both
the life of the coupling and the wearing rate of the machine bearing assemblies can, however, be enhanced substantially when the machine alignment is better than the maximum compensating capability of the coupling. The
displacement in actual operation should therefore not exceed 20% of the catalogue value. The following formulas
are recommendations for maximum displacement.
Three types of machine displacement (radial, angular and axial) need to be verified:
The maximum radial displacement that the FlexDur coupling can compensate for, is a function of the distance between the disc packs. For the S version, this distance is actually identical with the clearance between the shaft
ends. This statement, however, does not apply to the other versions such as C and O.
If the shafts have minimum angular displacement, the following maximum values apply to radial compensation acc.
to the calculation:

b
AA ?
k

with AA: Max. difference of the total indicator reading after one rotation in mm corresponding to
two times the displacement.
b: Clearance between disc packs in mm (see page 4)
k: Constant factor of each series:
k = 150 for FD __ - 4, FD __ - 6
k = 300 for FD __ - 8
k = 350 for FD __ - 10

The maximum angular displacement per disc pack is specified in the tables. The said angular displacement can be
verified by measuring the flange-to-flange distance at several points (see figure) and subtracting the smallest reading from the largest reading (Y-Z). The obtained value (Y-Z) also depends on the flange diameter and thus the
coupling size DA. The following maximum values are recommended for (Y-Z) in mm based on the tabulated data:
FlexDur with 4 bolts
FD 13-4, FD 26-4
FD 36-4, FD 80-4
FD 125-4, FD 160-4
FD 255-4, FD 345-4
FlexDur with 6 bolts
FlexDur with 8 bolts
FlexDur with 10 bolts

(Y-Z) ?

0.5 mm
0.6 mm
0.7 mm
0.8 mm
D / 300
D / 600
D / 700

Example: The max. angular displacement is 1 for FD 380-6. (Y-Z) must not exceed 380/300 = 1.27 mm.
The maximum axial displacement between the shafts is specified in the tables and is a function of the coupling size
and the number of bolts. The larger the coupling, the larger the axial displacement; the more bolts, the smaller the
axial displacement.
Axial displacement generates enormous stresses in the discs. For ensuring a long life, we recommend to put the
discs as close as possible adjacent to each other so that they lie exactly in one plane. For this reason any movements caused by thermal expansion must be duly taken into account. If, for example, the clearance between the
shaft ends varies by 5 mm between the cooled down and operationally warm condition of the machines (i.e. the
shafts move closer together), the clearance between the shaft ends of cooled down machines must be increased
deliberately by 5 mm during assembly.

3. Mounting the disc packs and spacers


The coupling components are mounted in different ways depending on the FlexDur coupling type: The only tools required are a
standard spanner and a torque wrench. It is of utmost importance that the coupling bolts be tightened properly to the following
specifications.

Standard version - S and N series

The only bolts to be mounted and tightened are those connecting the disc packs to the hubs and spacer. Position the spacer
properly and mount the bolts with their heads at the flange (and not at the disc pack). The nuts shall be tightened to the specified torque using the torque wrench while the heads of the bolts shall be kept fixed.
b)

Compact version - C series

The C coupling series is designed for machines, the shafts of which are too close to each other for being able to use the
S standard version. The hubs have reduced outside diameters so that they can be inserted through the disc pack hole.
For mounting the hubs on the associated shafts, a space of at least one hub length is required between the shafts (see tabulated dimensions L1 and L2). For installing the coupling, the disc packs should be connected to the spacer with their bolts, the
heads of which lie against the spacer, and then slid over one of the hubs and bolted onto it. The machine parts shall then be
positioned properly for mounting the second disc pack to the associated hub.
The machines are now ready for alignment. As the spacer covers the shaft ends, the axial clearance needs to be checked by
measuring the flange-to-flange distance (see tabulated dimension S). The radial and angular displacements can be checked as
detailed above.
The bolts for mounting the disc packs to the hubs and spacer must be tightened as specified using a torque wrench for the nuts
while the bolt heads shall be kept fixed.
c)

Drop out version O series

The plug-in type design allows assembly and disassembly of the coupling with no need for removing the hubs from the shafts.
The coupling is supplied in a preassembled state, with the bolts being tightened as specified. When the coupling components
are stripped for whatever reason (e.g. for changing the disc packs) the nuts must be retightened to specification using a torque
wrench while the bolt heads shall be kept fixed.
The machine parts should be aligned prior to mounting the coupling. The preassembled coupling element does not fit between
the coupling hubs when the shaft-to-shaft clearance is duly observed. The element must therefore be compressed by pressing
the disc packs together using the transport bolts so that the element fits between the centering keyways.
The centering snaps in place when the coupling is positioned properly. The bolts connecting the preassembled element to the
hubs shall be tightened with a torque wrench to the specified values. This operation requires much attention as these bolts
transmit the full torque of the coupling.
When removing the preassembled element, all bolts connecting it to the shaft hubs must be loosened first. The element can
then be compressed by introducing the existing flange bolts in the transport bores so that the element is pressed out of the
centering keyways.

Safety precautions
It is the customer's and user's responsibility to provide proper guards over rotating machinery and to observe the national and international safety rules and laws.
Check all bolted connections for proper fit preferably after the test run.

General description

MULTI CROSS RILLO couplings are highly torsionally flexible tyre couplings with progressive torsional deflection
characteristic. The salient feature of the MULTI CROSS RILLO shaft couplings is that the coupling hubs are
supplied with commercially available taper bushes for nominal torques of up to 11500 Nm. This allows easy and
time saving mounting of the coupling hubs on the shaft. Special tools are not required.
The torque transmission element of the MULTI CROSS RILLO coupling is a rubber tyre reinforced with fabric plies.
This tyre transmits the torque without torsional backlash, it is wear-resistant and maintenance-free. The rubber tyre
is slit, thus permitting easy radial installation with no need for axial movement of the coupled machines.
MULTI CROSS RILLO shaft couplings reduce torque surges substantially. In applications where torsional
vibrations occur the stresses in the drive trains are minimized thanks to their high torsional flexibility.
The use of a rubber tyre as the transmission element compensates to a large extent for axial, radial and angular
shaft displacements.

Features of the highly flexible MULTI CROSS RILLO couplings


High torsional flexibility with progressive torsional deflection characteristic
High compensating capability for axial, radial and angular misalignments
Easy and time saving mounting of the coupling hubs thanks to the use of taper bushes
Radial change of the rubber element without axial movement of the coupled machines
Backlash-free torque transmission even in case of alternating directions of rotation
High torsional vibration and shock load damping capability
Noise level insulation
Wear-resistant and maintenance-free

Selection of the proper coupling size


The coupling size should be adequately to ensure that the permissible coupling load is not exceeded in any
operating condition encountered. For drives which are not subjected to periodically recurring vibratory torque loads,
the coupling design may be selected based on the driving torque with reference to the corresponding service
factors.
For specific applications which are subject to periodically recurring high vibratory torques such as combustion
engines, piston pumps and compressors, please consult us. Upon request and receipt of your pertinent technical
details, we would be pleased to provide a torsional vibration analysis for your specific application.

Calculate the driving torque: TAN


TAN =

Given a driving power PAN and a coupling speed nAN,


the driving torque is calculated as follows:

9550 PAN
n AN

TAN in Nm, PAN in kW, nAN in rpm

Select the coupling size:


The following prerequisites must be given for the proper coupling selection:

TKN TAN S A

Nominal torque capacity TKN in Nm, TAN in Nm,


service factor SA as per table below
Service factor: S A
Prime mover

Type of operation of the driven machine

2.00
2.75
1.50
2.25
3.00

Electric motors, turbines, hydraulic motors


Combustion engines 4 6 cylinders
Combustion engines 1 3 cylinders

Service factor SA allows for up to 25 starts per hour. For up to 120 starts per hour, the service factor shall be
increased by 0.75.
Uniform loads: Agitators (light liquids), centrifugal pumps, blowers and fans (T 100 Nm), belt conveyors, screw
pumps, filling machines, light-weight centrifuges.
Medium shock loads: Agitators (viscous liquids) construction machinery, blowers and fans (T 1000 Nm),
mixers, conveyors, planing machines, plastics industry machinery, textile machines, heavy centrifuges.
Heavy shock loads: Blowers and fans (T 1000 Nm), travelling gears, planing machines, plate shears, plate
mills, paper machines, belt conveyors, frequency transformers, presses.

Verify the maximum torque capacity: T Kmax


The max. coupling torque capacity T Kmax must be greater than
any max. torque T max encountered in operation :
Permissible ambient temperature range:

TKmax Tmax

-50 C +70 C

For applications at higher ambient temperatures, please consult us.

Calculation example:
Required: A MULTI CROSS RILLO shaft coupling for driving a planing machine positioned between the electric
motor and the gearbox. Electric motor PM = 75 kW, speed nM = 1485 rpm, power requirement of the planing
machine PAN = 60 kW, up to 60 starts/hr, ambient temperature 25 C.
Solution: The MULTI CROSS RILLO coupling shall be designed for PAN = 60 kW and with a service factor of
SA=2.5 (1.75 as per table plus 0.75 for a starting frequency of more than 25).
Therefore:
TAN = 9550 x PAN / n AN = 9550 x 60 kW / 1485 rpm = 385 Nm and
TKN T AN x SA = 385 Nm x 2.5 = 965 Nm.
The MULTI CROSS RILLO coupling MCR 120 FF at TKN = 1350 Nm should be selected for the present application.

Permissible shaft displacements of MULTI CROSS RILLO couplings

Ka, Kr , Kw
see technical details
page 5

The indicated values for Ka [mm] = Smax - Smin correspond to an angular displacement of KW = 4. This permissible angular
shaft displacement is the max. angular misalignment of the coupling halves which may only be fully utilized when no axial and
radial misalignments exists. An angular displacement of KW = 2 is permissible when axial and radial misalignments of Ka
and Kr are present.

Mounting instructions for MULTI CROSS RILLO shaft couplings


1. The outer taper of the bush and the hub bore with inner taper shall be
bright and free from grease prior to assembly. Any preservatives shall
be removed completely.
2. Insert the bush into the coupling hub making sure that all connecting
bores are lined up. This means that the threaded half holes shall be
opposite the plain half holes (Fig. 1).
3. Lightly oil or grease the mounting screws and screw them in loosely.
Do not tighten the screw yet (Fig. 2).

Fig. 1
No. 1008, 1210, 1610
2012, 2517, 3020

4. Push the coupling hub with inserted taper bush onto the cleaned shaft
with key and position it properly so that the clearance M (see Table 1
and Fig. 3) is maintained. Attach the (outer or inner) clamp ring loosely
prior to assembly of the hub.

No. 3525,4030
4535, 5040

5. Tighten the screws uniformly with a torque wrench to half of the


specified tightening torque MA2 (Table 2).
6. Hold a piece of wood or brass against the bush and hit it lightly with a
hammer and tighten the screws to the specified tightening torque MA2
(Table 2). Repeat, if necessary.

Removing the coupling hubs with taper bushes


1. Loosen and remove all screws. Depending on the taper bush size, screw 1
or 2 greased screws into the half threaded push-off holes of the taper bush
(Fig. 5).
2. Tighten the screws uniformly until the bush detaches from the hub.
3. The hub can be pulled off the shaft together with the taper bush as soon as
the taper bush is detached.

Instructions for inserting the rubber tyre


1. Make sure that the coupling hubs are positioned at right angles on the shaft ends. Align the coupling hubs to
each other in the axial, radial and angular directions. See also permissible shaft displacements on pages 5 and
10. The radial and angular displacements should be kept as small as possible, particularly in high speed
applications.
2. Pull the rubber tyre that is slit for assembly apart and place it over the
coupling hub. Make sure that the tyre lies completely against the hub.
If not, apply light hammer blows onto the outer contours of the tyre.
After completion of the assembly, a gap as specified in Table 3 shall
exist between the ends of the rubber tyre.

3. Fit the remaining clamp rings, if any, and tighten the screws handtight. Thereafter, tighten them uniformly in an alternating sequence
(half a turn each) until the specified tightening torque MA1 (Table 1
and Fig. 4 on page 11) is reached.

Mounting instructions for MULTI CROSS RILLO shaft couplings with spacer
1. According to the mounting instructions for MULTI CROSS RILLO shaft coupling hubs with taper bushes shall
be mounted completely on the shaft ends. It is important to make sure that the coupling hubs are flush with the
shaft ends to enable subsequent assembly or disassembly of the spacer.
2. Mount the flange hub properly on the shaft. It is important to ensure that the flange hub does not protrude from
the shaft end.
3. Mount the spacer (with the coupling hub placed on the top) to the flange hub using the proper tightening torque
MA3 (Table 4).
4. Align the MULTI CROSS RILLO coupling and insert the tyre according to the above instructions.

MULTI CROSS FORTE


Highly flexible coupling with
progressive torsional stiffness

The MULTI CROSS FORTE is a highly flexible coupling


with progressive torsional stiffness. The special characteristic
of all MULTI CROSS FORTE couplings is the use of
transmission elements, which are alike within the same
type series, but their number vary according to the size
of the coupling. Therefore it is possible that only three
sizes of coupling elements are necessary to cover the
complete MULTI CROSS FORTE coupling program with
a torque range from 160 Nm to 54000 Nm. The result

is a really simple and therefore cost-saving spare parts


inventory.
Because of the use of the form-fi t bolted elements
they can even with the biggest MULTI CROSS FORTE
couplings easily be assembled or disassembled.
The principle of element bolting offers a universal
combination to connect parts directly with other mechanical
parts with the same connection dimensions.

The most important attributes and advantages of the highly flexible MULTI CROSS FORTE coupling are:
Very high torsional flexibility with a progressive torsional characteristic line
High compensation capability of axial, radial and angular misalignment
Backlash-free torque transmission even for reverse rotation
High torsional vibration and shock load absorbing capability
Good removal of heat which may be generated by the damping effect of the coupling
Easy alignment of the coupling
Positive fit between transmission element and hub flange to prevent relative movement
Cost-saving spare parts inventory by use of the same element size within one series type

Selection of the proper coupling size


The coupling size has to be selected in such a way, that the acceptable coupling load is not exceeded in any operating mode. The coupling size of drives without periodic alternating torque can be selected according to the drive
torque, taking into account the respective service factors. Otherwise the selection has to be checked by means
of a torsional vibration analysis.
1.

Calculation of the nominal drive torque TAN:

2.

The nominal torque capacity TKN has to be at least equal to the drive
torque TAN taking into account the safety factors.

3.

The maximum torque capacity TKmax of the coupling has to be at least


equal to the highest torque Tmax taking into account the temperature factor St and the start-up factor Sz

4.

The continuous fatigue torque TKW of the coupling has to be


at least equal to the highest fatigue torque Tw , as it occurs within
the operating range, subject to frequency and temperature.

Mounting instruction and alignment tolerances for


MULTI CROSS FORTE shaft and ange couplings
To ensure a proper function of the coupling, the following assembly directions have to be
followed:
When the hub or the ange is tted, the counterbores of the mounting holes for the rubber
elements must be on the correct side. (pict. 1)
It is advisable to align the coupling parts as precisely as possible, even as the MULTI CROSS
FORTE coupling permits a relative large shaft misalignment, so that there are more reserves
for operational displacements.
After assembly of the coupling, the following measures should be checked with suitable
instruments (straight edge, vernier caliper, depth gauge, precision dial etc.) if possible at
four locations, shifted by 90.
For a speed range of approx. 600 1500 rpm, the measured misalignments should not exceed the recommended max. alignment tolerances.

Larger shaft misalignments which may occur momentarily are permissible. For equipment
with changing shaft misalignments during operation the coupling should be installed with an
offset of the permissible misalignment in the opposite direction of the occuring misalignment.
If the machine is exibly supported, a possible baging of the support should be considered
during the alignment.
The speed and torque of the system induce an axial force in the coupling which must be absorbed by suitable bearings of the shafts. Information is available upon request.

angular alignment

Assembly of the rubber elements


The assembly of the rubber elements follows the alignment of the coupling halves. Here
each element has to be pushed in sequence from the outside so far between the hub anges,
until the guide jackets snap - conclusively to the form - into the counter bores of the hub
anges. After that the bolts must be tightened accordingly to the specied torques.

radial alignment

Safety precautions
It is the customers and users responsibility to observe the national and international safety rules and laws.
Check all bolted connections for proper t preferably after the test run.

Flexible MULTI MONT ASTRA Coupling

MMA-W series
The flexible Reich MULTI MONT ASTRA coupling is a fail-safe claw coupling with flexible element for a torsionally
flexible shaft connection. The advantages of the all over machined MULTI MONT ASTRA coupling, and of the claw
flanks in particular, are the precise running characteristic and the extended service life. MULTI MONT ASTRA
couplings are fail-safe up to the breaking torque of the claws and thus ensure maximum operational safety.
The N version of the flexible coupling element offers a hardness of 92 Shore A (white) and the S version a hardness of
98 Shore A (blue). The salient features of the flexible coupling element are not only its high resistance to wear and
tear but also to oil, ozone and aging. Shocks, torsional vibrations and noise are efficiently absorbed thanks to the
inherent flexibility. The flexible element of the coupling is dimensioned such that radial, axial and angular movements
are compensated for between the two coupling halves. The fixed position of the flexible element allows axial
deformation so that no detrimental axial loads can act upon the machine bearings even if vibratory torques are
encountered. The flexible element of the MULTI MONT ASTRA coupling is designed for continuous loads at up to
90C and short-time loads at up to 120 C. Even temperatures as low as 40C are acceptable.
Minimum outside diameters combined with a maximum bore guarantee both, low weights and low moments of inertia.
The flexible MULTI MONT ASTRA coupling, being of the plug-in type, is designed for ease of alignment. The balancing
quality complies with the DIN-ISO 1940 G 16 quality range.

MMA-T series with taper bushes


Combining the advantages of a flexible coupling with the advantages of a taper bush system, the MULTI MONT
ASTRA coupling of the MMA-T series lends itself well to quick and easy assembly when torsionally flexible shaft
connections and compensation of shaft alignment errors are required. The MMA-T series with taper bushes offers the
distinct advantage that even in the event of major shaft tolerances, backlash-free and axial fixing on the shaft is
ensured. In addition, the slide fit facilitates axial alignment of the coupling. The flexible element can be changed by
axial movement of the coupling halves with no need for removing connected machinery.
The Reich MULTI MONT ASTRA coupling finds its applications in general engineering in all places where a reliable
shaft connection is demanded between the motor and the driven machine.

The MULTI MONT OCTA flywheel coupling is designed specifically as a torsionally flexible drive coupling for units with internal combustion engines. It is
used to dampen torsional vibrations and to compensate for misalignments.
The series comprises 6 different sizes covering a nominal torque range from 300 to 20 000 Nm.

MULTI MONT OCTA flywheel couplings give positive


torque transmission with rubber elements under compression. These rubber elements can be supplied in
different Shore hardnesses for optimizing the torsional
vibration range. Any occurring torsional vibrations and
peak torques are dampened and absorbed efficiently.

Overload protection
As the coupling flange is produced as a composite casting, a positive connection serving as a rated break point is
provided between the steel plate flange and the cast-on aluminium coupling part. Power transmission will thus be
interrupted as soon as the coupling is overloaded far beyond the permissible maximum torque so that essential
system components are protected against potential damage.
Type approvals by a number of leading classification societies are at hand.

Salient features and advantages of the MULTI MONT OCTA flywheel coupling

Efficient torsional vibration and peak torque dampening and absorbing capability
Ease of assembly thanks to the plug-in type design
Compensation of axial, radial and angular misalignments
Coupling hub of spheroidal cast iron as a standard
Fail safe design combined with a high load carrying capability, nevertheless with protection against overload
breakage by means of the existing rated break point
Simple, compact and thus low-cost coupling design

1) The given dynamic torsional stiffnesses allow for a temperature of +60 C to +80 C at the coupling.

Selection of the proper coupling size


The coupling size to be used in conjunction with internal combustion engines shall be dimensioned and selected
with a view to torsional vibration. For a rough estimate based on the engine drive torque T AN, a general safety factor of S = 1.3 - 1.5 should be allowed for.
The following requirements shall be satisfied for the proper selection of the coupling size:
1. The nominal torque capacity TKN of the coupling shall be at least
equal to the max. engine drive torque TAN at any operating temperatur
while taking the temperature factor St into account.

TKN TAN S t
P[kW]
TAN[Nm] = 9550
n[r.p.m.]

Calculation of the nominal engine torque:

The temperature factor St allows for a decreasing load carrying capability of the coupling at elevated ambient temperatures.
2. The maximum torque capacity TKmax of the coupling shall be at least
equal to the highest torque Tmax encountered in operation.

3. The permissible continuous fatigue torque under reversed


stresses TKW of the coupling shall be at least equal to the highest fatigue torque under reversed stresses TW encountered throughout the
operating speed range while taking the temperature and frequency
into account. The frequency factor Sf allows for the frequency dependence of the permissible continuous fatigue torque under reversed
stresses TKW (10 Hz) at the operating frequency fx.

The dimensioning of the coupling should be checked for the permissible coupling load by means of a torsional vibration analysis which will be conducted by us on request. Lists specifying couplings assigned to different ratings
and torsional vibration conditions are available for all common internal combustion engines operating at constant
speeds to facilitate your selection of an operationally safe coupling.
For demanding applications in terms of torsional vibration or drives with 1-3 cylinder diesel engines we recommend
to use our highly torsionally flexible ARCUSAFLEX flywheel couplings.

General technical description


MULTI MONT couplings have been built in series since 1958. This pluggable claw coupling that has been successfully proven over a number of decades has been permanently updated to the state of the art, and the MULTI MONT
SELLA, MULTI MONT DEKA and MULTI MONT GIANT series nowadays cover a torque range from 40 to 1 000 000 Nm.
The MULTI MONT product line offers a large variety of different types so that a suitable coupling is available for
almost every type of power transmission requirement.
MULTI MONT SELLA nominal torques from 40 to 20 000 Nm

The MULTI MONT SELLA standard series comprises a number of different types. All coupling types allow changing
the flexible transmission elements with no need for axial movement of a coupled machine part.
The flexible element for the coupling sizes up to and including MMS 63 consists of a split toothed ring which has
the single rubber dampers attached to an external belt. All larger coupling sizes are equipped with 6 single saddle
elements each for transmission which have two rubber dampers attached to the external belt.
The coupling is fitted with a separately screwed-on retaining cap which encloses the periphery of the rubber elements. This screwed connection is not involved in torque transmission. The elements of all coupling sizes can be
fitted and removed radially after the retaining caps have been released and withdrawn.
MULTI MONT DEKA
nominal torques from 40 000 Nm to 100 000 Nm

MULTI MONT GIGANT


nominal torques from 160 000 Nm to 1 000 000 Nm

The MULTI MONT DEKA coupling series that is


made of spheroidal cast iron as a standard is not
only of extremely compact design but also offers a
high transmission rate.
The flexible transmission elements are fixed in
pockets. During torque transmission, two elements
totalling 40 are always subjected simultaneously to
compression by one coupling claw.
Using the flange version the flexible transmission
elements can be fitted and removed radially.

Standardly made of spheroidal cast iron the MULTI


MONT GIGANT coupling is available for highest torques
up to 1 000 000 Nm.
The MULTI MONT GIGANT uses 6 single saddle elements.
The separate retaining cap allows radial fitting of the
flexible elements with no need for axial movement of a
coupled machine part.

Advantages of MULTI MONT -SELLA, -DEKA, -GIGANT


compensate for axial-, radial- und angular misalignments
absorb shocks and vibrations
are fail-safe and withstand high overloads
are well suited as plug-in type couplings ensuring ease of assembly and alignment
allow prompt and easy radial change of the flexible elements
are maintenance-free
are customizeable for almost every type of mounting situation

Angular displacement

The above shaft displacements are approximate values as the compensating capability of the coupling primarily
depends on the rotational speed and coupling load.
Precise alignment of the coupling contributes to a long service life of the flexible elements (see Alignment toleranceson page 25).

Balancing
All MULTI MONT couplings are of balancing quality G 16 acc. to ISO 1940 as a standard which is sufficient for
normal speed ranges. If a superior balancing quality is required, the coupling components can also be dynamically
balanced. In such a case please advise the rotational speed and whether the hubs shall be balanced with or without
keyway when placing your order.

Coupling size selection


The coupling size should be adequately dimensioned to ensure that the permissible coupling load is not exceeded
in any operating condition encountered. For drives which are not subjected to periodically recurring vibratory torque
loads, the coupling design may be selected based on the driving torque with reference to the corresponding service
factors.
For drives with combustion engines or prime movers which are subject to periodically recurring vibratory torques,
the final selection of the coupling should be verified by a full torsional vibration analysis which will be conducted by
us on request.

1.

Calculate the driving torque TAN.

2.

Determine the nominal torque capacity TKN of the coupling based on the
driving torque TAN with reference to the service factors.

3.

The max. torque capacity TKmax of the coupling shall be at least equal
to the maximum torque Tmax encountered in operation while taking the
temperature factor S t into account.

4.

The torsional vibration analysis for verifying the proper coupling selection
shall prove that the permissible continuous vibratory torque capacity TKW
of the coupling is at least equal to the maximum vibratory torque TW
which occurs in the operating speed range with reference to temperature
and frequency.
The frequency factor S f takes the frequency dependence of the permissible continuous vibratory torque capacity TKW (10 Hz) at operating frequency
f into account.

MULTI MONT SELLA


Torsionally flexible claw couplings
MMS-T...W with taper bush
The MULTI MONT SELLA claw coupling of type MMS-T... is
equipped with a taper bush as a connection element for the shaft.
The taper bush is bolted in place in the coupling hub so that a
shrink-fit-like connection free from backlash is established between
the coupling hub and the shaft after assembly.
Due to the use of commercially available taper bushes with a
number of different bore dimensions, the need for finishing the
bore and keyway of the coupling hub is omitted for the MULTI
MONT SELLA coupling type MMS-T. The maximum torque depends
on the respective taper bush. Assembly and disassembly are
possible with no need for special tools!
Main features of the MULTI MONT SELLA with taper bush
Easy and simple assembly of the shaft connections thanks to taper bushes
Easy assembly and alignment thanks to the plug-in design
Compensation of axial, radial and angular offsets
Shock and vibration damping
Fail-safe operation and high overload capability
Maintenance-free
Simple radial element replacement by sliding back the retaining cap

Mounting instruction for type MMS-TW


with taper bush
Mounting the element hub with taper bush
The general mounting instruction for the MMS also applies to this instruction
and is to be equally taken into account.
1. The outer taper of the taper bush and the bore with the inner taper of the
element hub shall show bright metal and must be free of grease prior to
mounting. Preservatives must be removed completely.
2. Insert the taper bush into the element hub and line up all connecting bores.
Make sure that half threaded holes concide with half plain bores (Fig. 1).
3. Screw in lightly greased or oiled assembly screws. Do not tighten the screws
yet (Fig. 2).
4. Slide the element hub with inserted taper bush onto the cleaned shaft with
key. Put it into the mounting position and tighten it uniformly according to
Fig. 3 and Table 1.
5. The screws can be retightened again by slight tapping against the taper
bush with a hammer using an intermediate plate. Repeat this process, if
necessary.

1. Loosen and remove all screws. Depending on the taper bush size, screw
either 1 or 2 greased screws into the half pulling-off thread(s) of the taper
bush (Fig. 4).
2. Tighten the screws uniformly until the taper bush is loose in the element hub.
3. As soon as the taper bush is loose, the element hub can be pulled off the
shaft together with the taper bush.

MULTI MONT SELLA brake disc couplings


Series: MMS ... TBS
The TBS series allows radial removal of the brake disc with no need for axial movement of the coupling hubs. The
flexible elements can also be easily fitted and removed radially with no need for axial movement of the coupled
machines after the retaining cap has been released and withdrawn.
For higher requirements, like optimized controled drives, from size MMS 100 on designs with accurate pitch and
torsional minimized backlash are available on request.

Designed as shaft and flange couplings

Z = Number of bores

Design MMG ... W

Design MMG ... F1

The flexible elements can be easily fitted and removed radially with no need for axial movement of the coupled machines after the retaining cap has been released and withdrawn.
The flanges are supplied without connection bores as a standard. If requested, the flanges can be designed with
connection bores for socket head screws or threads acc. to specification on pitch circle diameter D6.

Mounting instructions and alignment tolerances


The specified alignment tolerances should only be considered as approximate values in order to keep the assembly work involved within reasonable limits and in view of the fact that the compensating capability of the coupling
depends to a large extent on the rotational speeds and loads applied. Precise alignment of the coupling halves
contributes to a long service life of the flexible coupling elements.

How to mount the flexible elements and the retaining cap


When mounting the flexible elements care shall be taken to ensure that
the coupling halves are not mounted too close to each other in order to
protect the flexible elements from being subjected to lateral pressure and
to maintain the axial flexibility of the coupling in operation. Likewise, the
coupling halves shall not be mounted too far from each other so that the
rubber blocks are capable of transmitting over the entire width between
the coupling claws.
For easier positioning of the retaining cap when the saddle elements are
inserted we recommend to previously coat their periphery with talcum
or soft soap (no grease or oil). A threaded rod may be used as an aid for
pushing the retaining cap into position.

Screwed connections of the coupling


Before starting initial operation, all screws of the coupling have to be checked for their correct tightening torque
using a torque wrench. Only correctly tightened screws are secured against loosening. If an additional screw lock is
required we recommend to use anaerobic adhesives (e.g. Loctite or equivalent).

MULTI MONT SELLA


Torsionally flexible claw couplings
MMS-T...W with taper bush
The MULTI MONT SELLA claw coupling of type MMS-T... is
equipped with a taper bush as a connection element for the shaft.
The taper bush is bolted in place in the coupling hub so that a
shrink-fit-like connection free from backlash is established between
the coupling hub and the shaft after assembly.
Due to the use of commercially available taper bushes with a
number of different bore dimensions, the need for finishing the
bore and keyway of the coupling hub is omitted for the MULTI
MONT SELLA coupling type MMS-T. The maximum torque depends
on the respective taper bush. Assembly and disassembly are
possible with no need for special tools!
Main features of the MULTI MONT SELLA with taper bush
Easy and simple assembly of the shaft connections thanks to taper bushes
Easy assembly and alignment thanks to the plug-in design
Compensation of axial, radial and angular offsets
Shock and vibration damping
Fail-safe operation and high overload capability
Maintenance-free
Simple radial element replacement by sliding back the retaining cap

Mounting instruction for type MMS-TW


with taper bush
Mounting the element hub with taper bush
The general mounting instruction for the MMS also applies to this instruction
and is to be equally taken into account.
1. The outer taper of the taper bush and the bore with the inner taper of the
element hub shall show bright metal and must be free of grease prior to
mounting. Preservatives must be removed completely.
2. Insert the taper bush into the element hub and line up all connecting bores.
Make sure that half threaded holes concide with half plain bores (Fig. 1).
3. Screw in lightly greased or oiled assembly screws. Do not tighten the screws
yet (Fig. 2).
4. Slide the element hub with inserted taper bush onto the cleaned shaft with
key. Put it into the mounting position and tighten it uniformly according to
Fig. 3 and Table 1.
5. The screws can be retightened again by slight tapping against the taper
bush with a hammer using an intermediate plate. Repeat this process, if
necessary.

1. Loosen and remove all screws. Depending on the taper bush size, screw
either 1 or 2 greased screws into the half pulling-off thread(s) of the taper
bush (Fig. 4).
2. Tighten the screws uniformly until the taper bush is loose in the element hub.
3. As soon as the taper bush is loose, the element hub can be pulled off the
shaft together with the taper bush.

General
REIBO couplings are torsionally flexible pin-type couplings which compensate for radial, axial and angular shaft displacements.
REIBO couplings are designed for a positive (fail safe) torque transmission and for absorbing vibrations and torque surges.
The two coupling hubs are of identical design. Due to the alternate arrangement of the locating bores for the pin and buffer
element, a maximum number of pins and buffers can be accommodated. Restoring forces generated by angular or radial
displacement are minimized by the crowned buffers. Axial float is achieved through movement between the pin and the buffer
element.
The REIBO coupling series comprises 18 sizes for a torque range from 350 to 350 000 Nm. Couplings for higher torques are
available on request.

Selection of the proper coupling size


The coupling size should be adequately dimensioned to ensure that the permissible coupling load is not exceeded in any
operating condition encountered. For drives which are not subjected to periodically recurring fatigue torques under reversed
stresses, the coupling design may be selected based on the driving torque with reference to the corresponding service factors.

General technical description


Test bench couplings are applied in miscellaneous test benches. By reason of manifold, specific requirements TOK
system is designed according to the modular design concept, to be applicable on almost every engine test bench.
For specific requirements, e.g. special-test benches, the standard parts can be combined with specific-designed
parts to derive solutions corresponding to individual conditions.
The torsional stiffness can be easily changed and adapted by simply replacing the flexible elements, as well in service. The rubber element of the coupling is vulcanised to an inner and outer ring, thus enabling torque transmission
without being affected by centrifugal forces at high speeds.

Modular design concept of the TOK ZW coupling system

Advantages of the TOK - ZW coupling system:

Lowest possible torsional stiffness utilizing two flexible elements

Simple adjustment of the torsional stiffness by changing of elements

Compensation of axial-, radial- and angular misalignment

Self-centering, backlash-free and maintenance-free

Flanges adapted to DIN or SPICER bolt patterns, respectively on demand

Variable installation lengths utilizing telescopic spacer shafts

Ideal for highest speed

Lowest possible weight by using high-tensile aluminium and CFRP

TOK - hochelastische Kupplung fr elastisch aufgestellte Motoren


Die hochelastische TOK Kupplung wurde speziell fr Anwendungen entwickelt, die sehr geringe Verdrehsteifigkeiten erfordern.
Darberhinaus ist sie besonders gut fr den Ausgleich von radialen, winkeligen und axialen Verlagerungen an elastisch aufgestellten Antrieben geeignet. Mit der groen Bandbreite von elastischen Kupplungselementen und Adaptierungen ergeben sich
fr die verschiedensten Aufgaben Lsungen aus dem Standard. Diese knnen je nach Bedarf durch spezifische Anpassungen
ergnzt werden.

Bauformen und Baugren


Das elastische Element ist so gestaltet, dass es hohe Drehmomentkapazitt und gleichzeitig hohe Verlagerungsfhigkeit mit
der Eignung fr hohe Drehzahlen verbindet. Seine Steifigkeit kann durch Wahl verschiedener Gummisorten den Erfordernissen
angepasst werden. Die Adaptierungen orientieren sich an den blichen Schwungradanschlussmaen nach SAE J620. Die TOKKupplungsbaureihe umfasst Kupplungsgren fr einen Drehmomentbereich von ca. 1000 Nm bis 86.000 Nm.
Die sehr geringe Verdrehsteifigkeit gestattet eine sichere berkritische Auslegung der Kupplung. Bei Start und Stopp wird der
Resonanzbereich kurz durchfahren, im Betriebs-Drehzahlbereich wird die sehr gute Entkopplung zwischen Verbrennungsmotor
und Arbeitsmaschine erreicht. Die TOK-Kupplung gestattet die direkte Verbindung zwischen Motor und Arbeitsmaschine und ist
ohne Verwendung weiterer Komponenten fr die durch die elastische Aufstellung auftretenden Verlagerungen geeignet. In den
meisten Ausfhrungen ist dabei sogar die radiale Demontage mglich. Rckstellkrfte bleiben trotz guter Verlagerungsfhigkeit
innerhalb der zulssigen Grenzen, bei deutlicher Reduzierung des Montageaufwands.

Konstruktiver Aufbau und Wirkungsweise


Die hochelastischen torsionsoptimierten TOK-Kupplungen wurden speziell fr den Einsatz an elastisch aufgestellten Antrieben
gestaltet. Entsprechend sind bei den Standardbauformen der Kupplungsflansch 1 und die Kupplungsnabe 2 passend fr bliche
Motor- und Wellen-Anschlussmae ausgefhrt.
Radial-, Winkel- und Axialverlagerungen werden von einem elastischen Element ausgeglichen. Das hochelastische Kupplungselement 3 ist als Gummi-Metallverbindung zwischen Innenhlse 3a Gummischeibenkrper 3b und Auenring 3c ausgefhrt. In
vielen Anwendungen sind Flansch 1 und Auenring 3c in einem Bauteil integriert. Optional gestattet ein geteilter Zwischenring 4
die radiale Demontage der Kupplung ohne die beiden verbundenen Aggregate zu verschieben.
Wirkt ein Drehmoment auf die Antriebseite, so ergibt sich durch die Verdrehelastizitt des Gummischeibenkrpers eine relative
Verdrehung gegenber der Abtriebseite wodurch Drehschwingungen wirkungsvoll entkoppelt werden.
Neben Standardausfhrungen lassen sich vielfltige kundenspezifische Lsungen mit dem TOK-Kupplungssystem realisieren

Vorteile der TOK Kupplung


direkter Anschluss an SAE J620, Adaption an andere Schwungrder nach Vorgabe
Ausgleich von Axial-, Radial- und Winkelversatz
variable Einbaulngen
spiel- und wartungsfrei
Steigerung der Drehmomentkapazitt durch Einsatz von 2 Elementen

Die berprfung der Kupplungsauslegung hinsichtlich der zulssigen Kupplungsbelastung sollte durch eine Drehschwingungsberechnung erfolgen, die wir auf Wunsch durchfhren. Bei Einsatz der TOK Kupplung in Antrieben mit hohen Schwankungen bei
der Drehmomentaufnahme der Arbeitsmaschine ist ein zustzlicher Sicherheitsfaktor zu whlen.
Es ist dafr Sorge zu tragen, dass das System nicht dauerhaft bei der Resonanzfrequenz betrieben wird, um Schden an Kupplung und Aggregaten zu vermeiden.
