The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling series covers a torque range from 200 - 110000 Nm (corresponding to approx.
6500 kW at 1000 rpm). Element versions of different torsional stiffnesses are available for optimizing the torsional
vibration range. The flange connection dimensions of ARCUSAFLEX couplings comply predominantly with the SAE
J 620 and DIN 6281 standards. Other flange dimensions or overall lengths can be provided on request.
Shaft-to-shaft connections when required can be met by ARCUSAFLEX shaft couplings which consist of
ARCUSAFLEX flywheel couplings of the standard design equipped with a second hub.
Type approvals by a number of leading classification societies are available. If required, couplings complete with fail
safe devices can also be supplied.
ARCUSAFLEX® couplings comply to explosion protection according to ATEX 95. They are certified according to
the directive 94/9/EC and may be used in hazardous locations (categories M2, 2 + 3).

Technical note
The technical data applies only to the complete coupling or the corresponding coupling elements. It is the customer’s/
user’s responsibility to ensure there are no inadmissible loads acting on all the components. Especially existing
connections, like bolt connections, have to be checked regarding the transmittable torque, if necessary other
measures, e.g. additional reinforcement by pins, may be required. It is the customer’s/user’s responsibility to make
sure the dimensioning of the shaft and keyed or other connection, e.g. shrinking or clamping connection, is correct.
REICH-KUPPLUNGEN have an extensive programme of couplings and coupling systems to cover nearly every drive
configuration. Furthermore customized solutions can be developed and be manufactured also in small series or as
prototypes. Calculation programmes are available for coupling selection and sizing. - Please challenge us!

taper of the element hub shall show bright metal and must
be free of grease prior to mounting. Preservatives must be
removed completely. No. 1610 No. 3535

2. Insert the taper bush into the element hub and line up all 2517 4535/4545
connecting bores. Make sure that half threaded holes 3030 5040
coincide with half plain holes (Fig. 1).
4. Slide the element hub with inserted taper bush onto the
cleaned shaft with keyway and put it into the mounting
position LX (Fig. 3).

Tightening torques for the bolted flange connection
to the engine flywheel (grade 8.8)
Note: The aluminium flanges of the coupling sizes AC 2,3 - AC 10D have
to be mounted only with washers. We recommend to use washers as big as
possible, but minimum dimensions according to DIN 433. If needed bolts of
grade 10.9 with suitable washers and the corresponding tightening torque
can be used, please consult us.

Larger displacements of short duration, as may occur when starting and stopping the diesel engine, are permissible.
These maximum displacements must not occur simultaneous.
*) At types AC...F2K and AC...TK the axial fitting length LF of the coupling should always offer a plus tolerance within the possible
tolerance range in order to reach max. axial movability of the dismantled coupling element.
Safety precautions
lt is the customer‘s and user‘s responsibility to observe the national and international safety rules and laws.
Proper safety devices must be provided for the coupling to prevent accidental contact.
Check all bolted connections for the correct tightening torque and fit after a short running period preferably
after a test run.
