Coupling range expands to new applications
Renold Hi-Tec Couplings is set to extend both the size range and applicability of its popular high temperature blind assembly coupling, the HTB.
The Hunts Class ships, built by Vosper Thornycroft, are being converted to become HS Evropi and HS Kallisto as part of a transfer of technology contract for fast attack craft.
The Hi-Tec DCB coupling was chosen because of its ability to reduce the noise signature of the vessels.
The DCB is ideally suited for marine propulsion, power generation and reciprocating compressor applications where fail-safe operation, long life and the control of resonant torsional vibration are essential.
Other benefits derived from using Hi-Tec DCB couplings include a misalignment capability, zero backlash and severe shock load protection.
Renold Hi-Tec's Sales Manager, Andrew Broadbent, comments: "The specification of Hi-Tec DCB couplings on such demanding applications demonstrates, once again, the shipbuilding industry's absolute trust in the strength, resilience and reliability of Renold Hi-Tec couplings on critical drive systems".
