Vulkan
Flexible Couplings |
|
|
 |
|
Pacific Driveline Ltd is the New Zealand
agent for Vulkan Couplings. It carries the following highly flexible
couplings for pleasure boats, high-speed boats and work boats.
|
|
|
The highly flexible VULARDAN-E
coupling is used to tune the torsional response of the system. It is a
coupling with "slip-on" feature and therefore is mainly used
in bell-housing installations.
Torque range: 0.16 - 12.5kNm
Available in both rubber and silicone. |
|
|
The highly flexible TORFLEX
coupling with a progressive torsional stiffness specially designed to
combat gearnoise in boat reverse/reduction gearboxes.
Torque range: 0.25 - 1.6kNm
Available in both rubber and silicone. |
|
|
The highly flexible VULASTIK-L
couplings are with "slip-on" features and therefore they are
provided mainly for installation in flanged belltype connections. The
installation dimensions correspond to DIN 6281 and SAE standards.
Torque range: 0.4 - 25.0kNm
Available in both rubber and silicone.
|
|
In addition to the cardan shaft
series coupling programme VULKAN has developed a bell-housing with and
integral bearing. This design will be fitted in installations where the
cardan shaft has a large angle of inclination. The resulting lateral and
axial reaction forces from the cardan shaft are supported by the
bell-housing so reducing the engine crankshaft loading.
The bearing is pre-lubricated and
practically maintenance free. The permissible inclination angles depend
on the expected life time. For the combination with a flexible coupling
there are three designs available.
|
|
|
VULKARDAN-L
coupling with linear torsional stiffness.
Torque range: 0.16-12.5kNm |
|
|
VULKARDAN-P
coupling with progressive torsional stiffness.
Torque range: 0.32 - 31.5kNm |
|
|
Integral Shaft Support
with VULASTIK-L
This design will be fitted in installation where the cardan shaft has a
large angle of inclination.
Torque range: 0.63 - 16kNm |
