The patented Buffer Roller (BR) Coupling
transmits torque, prevents overload damage
and accommodates misalignment between
connected drive shafts. The coupling is of
cast steel construction and uses a ring of
flexible buffers, which compensate for axial,
radial and angular offsets within the limits
given in the table of alignment values.
The patented buffer elements in the BR
Coupling are elastomeric cylinders located
in pockets formed between the inner hub
and outer ring. The large volume buffers
ensure that severe vibration loads are
dampened. Buffers of softer compounds
reduce vibrational loading more effectively
than harder compound buffers, while harder
compound buffers have a greater torque load
capability.
The life of the buffers is determined by
the accuracy of alignment as well as the
workload. The coupling has ample operation
life in ideal working conditions.
Fatigue failures can be avoided by scheduling a
buffer change after 15,000 hours of operation
or by adjusting this period according to the
life of the initial buffer set.
