General technical description The ARCUSAFLEX coupling is a highly flexible flywheel coupling with an axial plugin 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 discshaped 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 C a natural/synthetic caoutchouc mixture as a standard version, up to C a more heat resistant mixture and for higher application temperatures up to 3 C a silicone mixture. The inside diameter of the rubber disc element is vulcanized directly to a taper hub or bolton sleeve. The toothed profile on the circumference of the element provides in service a virtually backlashfree, positive plugin connection to the coupling flange. The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling series covers a torque range from Nm (corresponding to approx. kw at 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 and DIN standards. Other flange dimensions or overall lengths can be provided on request. Shafttoshaft 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 M, + 3). The most important attributes and advantages of ARCUSAFLEX couplings Very high torsional flexibility with a linear torsional deflection characteristic High torsional vibration and shock load absorbing capability Backlashfree torque transmission Ease of assembly thanks to the plugin type design with ample axial float Compensation of major misalignments Torque limitation protecting the drive against overload ATEX 95 AC_Pros_e_3 3 Kupplungen.de
Types ARCUSAFLEX type ACT with taper bush The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling type ACT...F 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 shrinkfitlike connection, free from backlash is established between the coupling hub with rubber disc element and the shaft. Thanks to the use of coercially 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 ACT. The torque, which can be transmitted, depends on the particular taper bush. Advantage: Ease of assembly and disassembly with no need for special tools! Taper bush Flange Taper hub with rubber element ARCUSAFLEX type AC...F with bolted hub The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling type AC...F has the rubber disc element vulcanized to a bolton 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.

For a preliminary selection use the engine torque TAN, a general safety factor of S =.3.5 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:. The nominal torque capacity T KN of the coupling shall be at least equal to the max. drive torque T AN while taking the T KN T AN S t service factors into account Calculate the driving torque T AN Given a driving powe P AN and a coupling speed n AN, the driving torque is calculated as follows: The temperature factor St allows for a decreasing load carrying capability of the coupling at elevated ambient temperatures. In this connection S t = S t is valid for S t = S t. The maximum torque capacity T Kmax of the coupling shall be at least equal to the highest torque T max encountered in operation while taking the temperature factor S t into account 3. The permissible continuous fatigue torque under reversing stresses T KW of the coupling should be at least equal to the highest fatigue torque under reversing stresses T W encountered throughout the operating speed range while taking the temperature and frequency into account. The frequency factor S f allows for the frequency dependence of the permissible continuous vibratory torque under reversing stresses T KW ( Hz) when operating with a different frequency f x T AN [Nm] = 955 T Kmax T Kmax S t T kw ( Hz) T W S t S f S f = f x P AN [kw] n AN [min ] C 7 9 3 S t.5.4. on request S t.5.5.5.7.9..3.5 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 coon 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 on request. AC_Pros_e_3 9 Kupplungen.de

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.. Insert the taper bush into the element hub and line up all connecting bores. Make sure that half threaded holes coincide with half plain holes (Fig. ). 3. Screw in lightly greased or oiled assembly screws. Do not tighten the screws yet (Fig. ). No. 57 33 No. 3535 44 4535/4545 54 4. Slide the element hub with inserted taper bush onto the cleaned shaft with keyway and put it into the mounting position L X (Fig. 3). 5. Tighten the screws uniformly up to the tightening torque M A specified in table using a torque wrench..

Tightening torques 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 μ =.4.

Alignment Careful alignment of the coupling is an essential requirement for detached, nonflanged 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 shaftside 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 flywheel coupling Type AC...F ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling Type ACT...F 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 5 rpm. Precise alignment prevents premature wear of the rubber element.
