TORSIonAL STIFFNESS
Torsional stiffness is non-linear. Couplings have been designed to deflect about 1 when 40% of rated torque is applied. A deflection of about 2'C can be expected when applying 100% of rated torque. Under shock-load conditions a deflection of 5'C is likely when rated torque is ex ceded by 300%.The maximum deflection is in region of 15'C. Our coupling therefore offers excellent shock load absorption capability
 General characteristics
The internal profile is such that there is a natural tendency for the flexible medium to maintain the relative normal position between metal components.The flexible medium is anti static and oil resistant.It is also unaffected by ambient temperatures up to 90'C
 

ADVANTAGES

Low installation time
maintenace-free operation
High quality materials 
 

 
MISALIGNMENT

It is always good practice to align shafts as much as possible in all planes. The physical characteristics of the ludas coupling are such that alignment is made simple because of reference faces on all planes. Where misalignment cannot be avoided, our coupling offers considerable forgiveness due to its ability to accept such misalignment . PARALLEL misalignment: capacity varies from 1.5mm to 4mm from the Fx 1008 to the Fx 5050 respectively ANGULAR misalignment: it is not advisable to exceed a deviation in excess of 5C END FLOAT : the ability to accept end float will surprise most users. For the smallest unit, 3mm are well within range.This figure can safely be increased to 5mm for the largest unit .Higher values are possible but not recommended
