RBI Coupling

Renold Couplings’ new RBI coupling offers a general purpose, cost effective range, which is manufactured in SG iron for torques up to 60 kN.m.  

Applications:

• Rubber processing and plastics industry
• Fluid transmission industry
• Material handling
• Crane and hoists
• Metal manufacture
• Bulk handling
• Pulp and paper industry
• General purpose industrial applications
  

Features & Benefits:

Intrinsically fail-safe, ensuring continuous operation of the driveline in the unlikely event of rubber damage.

Rubber elements designed with optimum stiffness, achieving low vibratory loads in the driveline and controlling resonant torsional vibration.

No lubrication or adjustment required, resulting in low maintenance costs.

Avoiding failure of the driveline under short circuit and other transient conditions.

Misalignment capability, allowing axial and radial misalignment between the driving and driven machines

Pre-compressed rubber elements, eliminating torque amplifications

Rubber elements enclosed in the coupling provide severe shock load protection

Construction details:

• Spheroidal graphite to BS EN 1563:2011 Grade 400-15
• Pre-compressed rubber elements with a standard SM80 shore hardness
