The Airfiex Coupling is especially suited to applications requiting flange ‘oF fywhee! mounting and applications that require a low maintenance, non-lubricated coupling with high tocque capacity. Reliability The reliability of the Falk Airflex Coupling design is proven. by over 40 years of successful operations in the field. Today, Faik Airflex Couplings service both the marine and Industrial fields... exceeding all expectations for depend- bility and positive trouble free performance. Your machinery deserves the protection thatthe Folk Airflex Coupling provides. Construction The Falk Airflex Coupling gland consists of tee! inner and outer rims bonded to « resilient corded natural rubber floxibie element. The gland can be bolted directly 10 6 ange on the connected equipment or to a shaft using the ‘edapter hub ond plote. Eleven combinations are available using standard components Airfiex Gland The Airlex gland iso compostion of rubber ‘and polyester cord. The number of layers varies with coupling size; the larger the coupling, the greater the number of plies. The complete multiply sandwich is bonded to the inner ‘and outer rims to form a unit which transmits torque and ‘ives the best combination of strength ond flexibility. This rubber-polyester bonded element isnot affected by dust, ditt or ambient temperatures from ~ 40°F (—40°C) to 150°F (66°C) 2481-10) ADAPTER PLATE ADAPTER Hubs Both hubs are machined with precise registered fits. Hubs are made of steel for rugged service. Gland Rims Both inner and outer rims are rugged steel, permanently bonded to the gland. The outer rim has an extended flange to cilow bolting to « flywheel or adapter. Adapter Plate The steel adapter plote is designed with an offset between the ovter gland rim and coupling hub: ‘which ellows removal of the gland, for the popular number 5 assembly, without disturbing the connected machines. Itis fabricated with machined precise registered fits. Fasteners Grade 5 or better fosteners ore used throughout to provide maximum strength.

Dompens Vibration The natural hysteresis of the cubber inthe gland helps dampen vibration. Operates Quietly Alrfiex Couplings help prevent the transfer of noise from one machine to the next. Installs Easily Pilot fis on oll components ensure concentrcty and easy alignment without special tools Never Needs Lubrication Due to the rubber gland design, 10 lubrication is ever required. Versatile Design Eleven possible combinations ensure ready pplication to a wide variety of machine arrangements with no modification of the standard components. Also ‘vcilable, are flywheel mountings, loating shafts and tandem designs. Other Falk Airflex Designs ‘Consult the Factory for complete details: Airflex Flywheel Design This design simplifies mounting of ‘an Airlex coupling to the flywheel of an industrial engine ‘and permits coupling removal without disturbing driving or driven equipment. ‘The Airfiex flywheel coupling consists of o solid and a split ‘adapter ring fostened to the engine flywheel. The outer rim of the standard Airlex glond is fastened to the spit ‘adapter ring and the inner rim to the standard Airfiex hub ‘on the driven shat. uve. s0UD ADAPTER LAND HU. Airflox Tandem Desiga If vibratory torque characteristics ‘are to0 greot, the Tandem or Double Airflex coupling can be. furnished with twice the deflection and one-half the stifiness ofa single Airflex. Airflox Floating Shoft Design Flooting shaft type coupling requirements are served by the combination of two stondord Airflex glands and an intermediate floating shaft. This design takes advantage of the sef-centering character- istics of the gland assembly It allows for reasonable angular misalignment of the connecting shoft (Fok 4812310)Service factors listed are typical values based on normal operation of the drive systems.
