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.
Couplings are crucial to temporary power
Halifax-based Renold Hi-Tec Couplings has helped provide temporary power for what is claimed to be the world's largest floating oil production, storage and off-loading unit.
The unique blind assembly design isolates the generator from the engine, leaving the torsional characteristics of the engine unaffected.
It provides quick and easy assembly - particularly in bell housings, can be adapted to suit most engine flywheels and has a short axial length.
As well as being intrinsically fail-safe, another benefit of the RB blind assembly coupling is its ability to control resonant torsional vibration, resulting in low vibratory loads in driveline components.
The RB is also quiet running and ideal for sensitive applications by the elimination of metal-to-metal contact.
Designed to fit and forget, with no lubrication or adjustment requirements, the RB blind assembly coupling requires very little maintenance and lifetime costs are extremely low.
The RB blind assembly coupling is robustly constructed from spheroidal graphite to BS2789 Grade 420/12 for optimum durability and flexibility.
It incorporates precompressed, totally enclosed rubber elements to minimise backlash and also prevent metal-to-metal contact during torque reversal conditions.
Suitable for a wide range of applications including generator sets, pumps and compressors, the RB blind assembly coupling is available now from Renold agents worldwide.
