Renold Couplings’ RBI flexible coupling offers a general-purpose, and cost-effective range which is manufactured in SG iron for torques up to 60 kN/m. The rubber-in-compression technology enables RBI couplings to be 100% maintenance-free, reducing total cost of ownership.

 

  • Intrinsically fail-safe, ensuring continuous operation of the driveline.
  • Rubber elements designed with optimum stiffness, achieving low vibratory loads in the driveline.
  • No lubrication or adjustment required.
  • Avoids failure of the driveline under a short-circuit scenario and other transient conditions.
  • Misalignment capability, allowing axial and radial misalignment between the driving and driven machines.
  • Pre-compressed rubber elements, eliminating backlash.
  • Easy, in-situ inspection enabled.
  • Offer 50% more torque, with a smaller footprint, than the predecessor (Renold RB range).
  • Rubber-in-compression is 5x stronger than rubber-in-shear.
  • Suitable for use in applications where temperatures are between -40ºC and +100ºc.
  • Can be adapted to meet customers’ specific requirements, with several design variations possible.
  • SG Iron to BS 2789 Grade 420/12 (EN1563).
  • Separate rubber elements with a standard SM80 shore hardness.
  • Suitable for a broad range of industries
    and applications from conveyors and crushers in quarries to cranes and compressors in the oil & gas industry.
