Flexible dry-type couplings are essential components in steam turbines and centrifugal compressors. The flexible, dry-type design has been Ebara Elliott Energy’s standard for more than 35 years because of its reliability, safety, versatility, and adaptability to almost any application.
Although gear-type couplings are still being used to connect equipment around the world, this type of coupling requires oil, has more moving parts, and involves more maintenance than the flexible, dry-type.
Our flexible, dry-type couplings eliminate the need for oil, flex under misalignment, and require minimal maintenance and inspection. The couplings are also designed to meet API 671 standards.
Features and Benefits
- Designed to flex under misalignment
- Transmits torque through thin scalloped flexible disc pack
- Disc or diaphragm material provides high strength and exceptional corrosion resistance
- Improves rotor dynamics
- Eliminates lockup and spool cracking associated with gear-type couplings
- Reduces hub and shaft fretting
- Eliminates oil leaks
- Minimizes vibration by reducing overhung weight
