POLY COUPLING PKA-COUPLING FOR DISMOUNTING
Product characteristics
Coupling description
The POLY coupling is a torsionally flexible, shear shaft coupling for general machinery. It is assembled by axially pluging the hubs into each other and has excellent dampening characteristics. Its unique features are the flexible elastomeric elements that are located in both coupling halves.
The POLY advantage – A much greater number of flexible elements and thus a larger effective mass of the elastomer to accept vibration and to dissipate the heat caused by torsional vibrations when compared to similar competitive couplings with elements only in one half.

Function
The coupling consists of 2 hubs with fingers that are separated by elastomeric elements which are assembled by axial blind plug-in to each other. Elastomer elements are placed into the slots of both coupling hubs. Torque is transmitted in a compact design. Shaft misalignments, vibrations and shock loads are effectively absorbed by the POLY coupling.
The coupling is maintenance-free and used in general machinery, the pump industry and in compressors. The Poly coupling handles torque ranges of up to 65,000 Nm and is stocked in 21 different sizes and 4 designs for immediate availability. In addition to our standard coupling models, a variety of flange, drop out center and spacer options are available..
Variation of components
The coupling can be adapted to many applications due to the many options that are possible with the building block arrangement. The POLY components of a given model can be mixed and matched with each other to obtain different shaft distances using the same basic component.
Explosion protection use
POLY couplings are suitable for the use in drives in hazardous areas. The couplings are certified according to EC Standard 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) and belong to category 2G/2D, are confirmed and thus suitable for the use in hazardous areas of zone 1, 2, 21 and 22.
