Technical Specifications
The patented Flexible Diaphragm Coupling from KOP-FLEx couplings transmits torque from the driving shaft via a rigid hub, then through a flexible diaphragm to a spacer. The diaphragm deforms while transmitting this torque to accommodate misalignment. The spacer in turn drives matching components attached to the driven equipment. Outstanding design features include:
- Field-replaceable stockable diaphragms
- Specially-contoured one-piece diaphragm design
- Patented diaphragm shape
- Piloted fits
- Diaphragms are 15.5 PH shot-peened stainless steel
- Inherently low windage design
- Conforms to API 671 specifications
