Spider types – Materials, physics, properties

Standard spiders
Spider Perm. temperature range (°C) Available for
type Identification Material coupling size Typical
hardness- Continuous Max. temperature applications
(Shore) colour temperature short time

– for all applications in general engineering

92 Sh A yellow polyurethane – 40 to + 90 – 50 to + 120 size 14 – 180 and hydraulics
– Standard applications with average elasticity
– good torque transmission
95/98 Sh A red polyurethane – 30 to + 90 – 40 to + 120 size 14 – 180
with good damping properties
natural white – I.C. - engines
64 Sh D-F with green polyurethane – 30 to + 110 – 30 to + 130 size 14 – 180 – high air moisture, resistant to hydrolysis
tooth flanks – displacement of critical speeds

Spiders for special applications on request for:
