The Autogard membrane
has been optimised using finite element analysis. This has resulted
in a waisted link design which provides more flexibility and
thus substantially lower reaction forces on the bearings of
the connected equipment. The membranes incorporate a proprietary
coating to the surface to eliminate the potential of fretting
corrosion, a phenomenon known (and proven in development tests)
to cause premature failure.
