ESCODISC DLC Series Couplings
ESCODISC DLC series couplings are all-metal torsionally rigid, backlash-free and maintenance-free shaft couplings.
Shaft Coupling Description
ESCODISC DLC series couplings are of an all-metal, non-lubricated design and are torsionally stiff. The torque is transmitted by means of discs, which are alternatively mounted (on the same bolt circle) to the drive and driven flange of the disc pack assembly.
Disc couplings will in most cases have two flexible elements and a spacer. As all parts are positively connected, this disc coupling ensures good inherent balancing properties and is hence often used at motor speeds without additional balancing.
The ESCODISC DLC series is built for infinite life and to meet the demands of the market for efficiency, lower maintenance and reduced life cycle costs. They are designed for low to medium torque/speed/duty applications (up to 1,600 Nm) where a maintenance-free coupling is preferred.
The total torque capacity and misalignment capacity depend on the disc pack thickness, the disc material, total number of drive bolts and their bolt circle. ESCODISC couplings meet the API 610 standards.
The couplings are able to compensate for radial, angular and axial misalignments.
Shaft Coupling Construction
- Set of stainless steel discs with a special surface treatment
- Left hub
- Right hub
- Spacer
- High strength bolts
Typical Applications
ESCODISC DPU series shaft couplings are designed to transmit the highest torques in all industries.
They are used mainly in the drives of compressors, pumps, conveyors, presses, test benches and drives in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.
The disc couplings are available in various series and designs.
