TB Wood s Products

Form-Flex® couplings transmit torque while compensating for angular, parallel and axial misalignment between two connected shafts. Flexible disc couplings minimize the misalignment forces on the connected equipment.

Form-Flex Couplings Product Features

• High-strength, flexible, stainless-steel discs are available in three styles: 4-bolt, straight-sided (A, M series); 6-bolt, straight-sided (B Series); and 8-bolt, round (D, F, H series). Alloy discs are also available
• Transmits torque with zero backlash while compensating for angular and parallel misalignment between two connected shafts
• Ideal for smooth or uneven conditions and moderate to heavy loads where elastomeric couplings are a typical problem
• Close-coupled, spacer and floating shaft designs offer total solutions for pumps, engine-driven equipment, printing, and positioning systems.
• Reduces maintenance time and costs by eliminating lubrication

TB Wood’s Dura-Flex® couplings are designed from the ground up using finite element analysis to maximize flex life. Perfect for a wide variety of applications — including those with uniform to heavy shock loads — Dura-Flex® couplings employ a light weight element that absorbs shock loading and torsional vibration. These couplings are available in stock bore-to-size (BTS, Taper-Lock® and Sure-Grip® bushed (QT) hubs.

Dura-Flex Couplings Product Specifications

• Bore-to-size (BTS), Sure-Grip bushed (QD), and Taper-Lock® hubs are available
• Specially designed “split-in-half flex element” moves stress away from bond, extending flex life
• Directly interchangeable with similar couplings for fast and easy replacement
• One spacer size eliminates problems with varying between-shaft spacings
• Requires no lubrication, minimizing maintenance and downtime
• Flexible polyurethane material offers superior chemical, dynamic, and weathering properties

TB Wood’s Sure-Flex® couplings use a rubber (EPDM), neoprene, or Hytrel sleeve and have exceptional torsional flexibility. Their 4-way flexing action absorbs virtually all types of shock, misalignment, and end float. With Sure-Flex couplings, the need for lubrication and maintenance is eliminated. As a result, these couplings provide clean, dependable, and quiet performance for a variety of applications. Product Features Lubrication-free design provides quiet, reliable performance Flexible sleeves available in EPDM, Neoprene, and Hytrel Fast and easy installation without bolts, gaskets, covers or seals Uniquely designed teeth and lateral flexibility accept both parallel and angular misalignment without wear Choose from an extensive offering of sizes, using BTS, bushed, clamp and spacer flanges Four-way flexing action absorbs extreme torsional shock and vibration.
