Coupler capacity significantly higher
than rivals
The torque capacity of the new Huco Engineering Components P-Flex Double-Loop Elastomer couplers range is up to 18Nm, significantly higher than its nearest rival
Double-Loop Elastomer couplers have been part of the Huco Engineering Components product programme for some years, but, thanks to a recent distributorship agreement, the company is introducing a new range that is superior to other brands in several respects The torque capacity of the new P-Flex range is up to 18 Nm, significantly higher than its nearest rival

Coaxial screw rail saves space and cuts costs
Huco's new, integrated lead screw and rail system - Kerk 'S' Rail - is a boon for designers looking for space savings.
It also offers high operational reliability in the temperature range from -40oC to +10C and has outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, gases and ozone.
This high performance is largely thanks to the choice of HYTREL for the Double-Loop element.
Manufactured by DuPont, this thermoplastic ether ester elastomer is a highly flexible material with the benefit of exceptional abrasion resistance and reverse bending strength.
The flexibility of the thermoplastic element ensures minimal forces on motor and machine shaft bearings, even in the presence of substantial radial and angular misalignment.
This simple, one-piece coupler features corrosion-resistant zinc-plated hubs, and is easy to fit without any extra machining of shaft journals.
Huco P-Flex is available ex-stock in four sizes with a range of bores.
They are suitable for counting mechanisms, servo drives, worm-gear spindles, elevating tables, pumps, compressors, ventilators, textile machines and numerous applications in all kinds of motion systems.
Beyond these typical uses however, the superior reverse bending strength and chemical resistance of HYTREL and its ability to withstand temperature extremes allows Huco P-Flex to be considered for a wide range of "beyond-the-norm" applications. Request a free brochure from Huco Dynatork ...
