Tyre Flex Couplings RLT Series

Product Overview

The Tyre Flex Couplings – RLT Series are highly flexible couplings designed for smooth, shock-free power transmission in demanding industrial applications. These couplings utilize a rubber tyre-shaped elastomeric element that provides exceptional flexibility, high misalignment capability, and superior vibration damping.

Engineered for durability and ease of maintenance, tyre couplings are ideal for applications involving dynamic loads, frequent start-stop operations, and misalignment conditions. They ensure reliable performance while protecting connected equipment from shock and vibration.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High Flexibility Design

    Rubber tyre element provides excellent flexibility, allowing significant misalignment without affecting performance.

  • Outstanding Shock & Vibration Damping

    Absorbs heavy shocks and torsional vibrations, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.

  • High Misalignment Capability

    Handles angular, parallel, and axial misalignment better than many conventional couplings.

  • Maintenance-Free Operation

    No lubrication required, reducing maintenance effort and operational cost.

  • Easy Installation & Replacement

    Tyre element can be easily replaced without disturbing hubs, minimizing downtime.

  • No Metal-to-Metal Contact

    Ensures reduced wear, noise, and longer service life.

  • Suitable for Harsh Environments

    Performs well in dusty, humid, and moderately aggressive environments.

Construction & Working Principle

Components:
Metallic Hubs / Flanges:
• Manufactured from high-grade cast iron or steel

Rubber Tyre Element:
• Reinforced elastomeric element designed for high flexibility and energy absorption

Clamping / Fastening Arrangement:
• Secures the tyre element between flanges for efficient torque transmission

Working Principle

Torque is transmitted through the rubber tyre element which flexes under load, absorbing shocks and vibrations. The flexible tyre accommodates misalignment and isolates vibrations, ensuring smooth and efficient power transmission.
