Product Description
Product Features
The NUPEX combination flexible coupling is a high-performance coupling developed and launched onto the market in 2000 by Schenck Power specifically for the characteristics of variable-frequency drive units. After successful application at the Jinxi Petrochemical Plant, more than 300 units have been installed to date, all operating smoothly and delivering excellent performance. Its structural features are as follows:
1. Supported by new U.S. technology, featuring an NUP+ diaphragm combination design.
2. Finite element equal-strength design—lighter, more convenient, and safer.
3. Automatic self-aligning feature can accommodate misalignment in all directions of the unit, requiring only rough alignment during installation.
4. The polyurethane rubber sleeve features pressure resistance, self-lubrication, and permanent elasticity; the three stiffness levels are selected based on torque calculation results.
5. Built-in joint bearing provides radial support up to 5 tons, completely eliminating the need for intermediate radial supports.
6. The deflection stiffness of the intermediate shaft can be adjusted to avoid critical rotational speeds and improve the dynamic characteristics of the unit’s rotor.
7. Fully absorbs variable-frequency harmonic impacts, provides shock absorption, and operates silently.
8.3 DH phase magnetic strip and counterweight screw holes allow for correction of shaft system imbalance.
