Torsionally Soft Couplings
Torsionally soft couplings use an elastomeric element to reduce harmful torque impulses. Our torsionally soft couplings increase shock absorption and damp vibration, making for lower noise levels and increased operator comfort during use. Torsional resonances are shifted to below operating speed ranges protecting the driver and driven equipment from torsional related failures.
We offer a full range of torsionally soft couplings, from lightweight driveshafts to dual stage couplings, centrifugal clutches, and robust, heavy-duty couplings to stand up to high-torque applications. Coupling designs are available for all 4 cycle medium & high speed diesel engines.
