FLENDER DS Coupling

The FLENDER DS Coupling offers a dynamic-wear inspection system that provides an effective method to inspect, measure and predict coupling wear. As the internal flexible elements wear due to unavoidable misalignment, shock loads, etc., the amount of torsional offset between the hubs can be measured by monitoring the dynamic wear indicator on the outside of the coupling. The coupling can even be inspected while in operation by monitoring the wear indicator through a clear or mesh guard with a strobe light. Other features of the non-lubricated coupling include a soft failure mode (no metal-to-metal contact) and the ability to change the flexible elements without moving the hubs or connected equipment. It is available in 19 basic sizes, up to a 7.5-in. bore and 187,000 lb-in. torque capacity.
