The Autoflex Metal Disc Coupling is designed to provide a highly reliable connection for rotating equipment. The coupling requires no lubrication and thus is maintenance free. Properly installed, the coupling is designed to provide infinite life.

Autoflex Advantages
4 Link disc construction offers maximum misalignment and is ideal for low torque applications.

Cartridge transmission unit provides for easy assembly whilst maintaining an inherent balance to AGMA class 9.

The Autoflex is designed to handle non-standard shaft separations using factory assembled Guard Ring Packs which are bolted to standard spacer tubes. A rigid connection is ensured with 12 point body bound bolts.

Discs are made from a special high strength 301 stainless steel.

All steel parts are manganese phosphate coated.

Hubs have been optimized to provide a larger bore capacity.

Reduced windage configuration also provides an inherent fail-safe feature in the unlikely event of disc failure.

Overload collars provide an inherent fail-safe feature, protecting the disc in the event of severe transient torque overloads.

Coupling performance is enhanced using high grade washers with an optimized radiused profile.

The Autoflex discs have been optimized using finite element analysis. This has resulted in a waisted link design which provides more flexibility and thus substantially lower reaction forces on the bearing of the connected equipment. The stresses through the new disc designs are uniform and are inherently low due to the reduced weight and inertia of the pack. The discs have been designed to provide for infinite life utilizing a safety factor of 2 times on the Modified Goodman Diagram.
