Product description Disc-lex MR is a drive coupling series, normally used to transfer torque from one rotating shaft to another, which uses a Metal Ring modular precision flex-pack (), made of stainless steel, as the driving elements. Two steel hubs () are connected to the Metal Ring flex-pack with precision metric ferrules () and high tensile bolts, washers and nuts (C). This design allows for a backlash free and torsionally stiff drive. The construction is % steel. The Disc-lex MR drive coupling series has been designed using modular components. These can therefore be adapted for a wider range of applications to suit single or doubleflex requirements. The Disc-lex MR assembly is supplied with a sing Metal Ring flexpack (), and two hubs (). these can be used to compensate for axial and angular, but not radial alignment in installation and/or operation. This series provides the highest torsional stiffness. The Disc-lex MR X assembly is supplied with two Metal Ring flex-pack (),one spacer (X) and two hubs (). They can be used to compensate for axial, angular and radial alignment. The Disc-lex MR X assembly can be supplied in several standard versions, which allow for different distances between shaft ends (g) or to suit special requirements. Both types, Disc-lex MR assembly and Disclex MR X assembly can be supplied with keyless shaft locking devices (SLD) recommended for drives that need to be completely free of backlash i.e. without movement at keyface. ey benefits No backlash. Torsional stiffness. High temperatures. High speeds. Low maintenance, long life. Modular design. Double alignment planes. No backlash This fundamental characteristic is for use on synchronous machines, for machines with start, stop and reversing duties and for applications where position control in both directions is essential to guarantee the accuracy of operation. or these applications, we recommend the use of the Disc- lex MR with shaft locking devices (SLD). Torsional stiffness The design of the Metal Ring guarantees high torsional stiffness, an important characteristic for applications on packing machines, servomotors, printing presses, winders, machine tools and other automation requirements. High temperatures The Disc-lex MR coupling is % of steel construction and is therefore suitable for use in difficult environments, with temperatures up to C, in applications such as, high temperature liquid pumps. High speeds The Disc-lex MR coupling is manufactured to close tolerances to achieve high concentricity and perpendicularity and is therefore suitable for high speed applications, even in the presence of irregular torque loads, in addition, the angular velocity is accurately transmitted. Long, maintenance free life The Metal Ring element produces a perfect force distribution and the close tolerances eliminate all backlash. 1
This ensures that the Disc-lex MR coupling provides a long service life, as there is no backlash. The flexibility of the Metal Ring also reduces the transfer of vibrations through the drive, which safeguards it and reduces wear. Disclex MR X Assembly A low maintenance situation is provided for, as it is not necessary to lubricate. Modular design This allows flexible drive solutions for a wide selection of applications.

Selection Procedure ind the correct service factor - S and then use the formula: Torque required = (kw x 95 x S) / rpm. The torque required must always be less than the nominal torque provided in Technical detail table on page. The service factor - S takes into account the shaft alignment with Alignment factor - f1, the temperature withtemperature factor - f, and the type of operating machine with Load factor - f3, so that: S = f1 x f x f3. refer to diagrams below.
