Description
Supplementing the
"all-round" RATO-S coupling the flexible RATO-DG
coupling has been specially designed for use in installations
requiring a medium level of torsional flexibility and misalignment
capacity. The application areas are drivelines using diesel/
gas-engines and electric motors in the general field of mechanical
engineering, in mining, co-generation, in the building and
construction industry, telecommunications and marine industry. The
4 available stiffnesses enable a good tuning of the system with
respect to both the transient and steady-state torsional vibration
response. In the tradition of VULKAN couplings, a backlash free
torque transmission is achieved. Giving rise to an exact torque
transfer (important for governor stability) during the loading/
unloading of the coupling. The absence of a torque-limiting device
in the coupling protects the connected machinery from the effects
of shock loads, e.g. short circuits. When required, however, a
torque limiting device can be fitted. The normal misalignments
caused by foundation defections, heat etc. can be adequately
compensated for by the radial, axial and angular flexibility of
the RATO-DG. |
