TSKL

Close-coupled Medium-torque Axially Split Coupling for API Industry

TSKL range of close-coupled membrane couplings has been specifically designed as a direct replacement for lubricated gear couplings even when the shaft separation is very small, typically 3mm. The TSKL coupling incorporates a scalloped design of stainless steel flexible membrane, which allows for transmitting medium torque combined with shaft misalignment.

Features

  • California Residents: PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
  • Easy to install.
  • Can be supplied to meet ISO 13709 (API 610) specification.
  • Intrinsic balance meets AGMA standard 9000 class 9.
  • Coated carbon steel for corrosion protection.
  • Fit and forget: The TSKL coupling is designed for infinite life, and with correct machinery alignment will out last the machines it is connected to.
  • Overload protection: The coupling is fitted with overload collars to protect the membranes in the event of severe torsional overload.
  • Low imposed loads: The membranes have been designed to optimize their torque capability, while minimizing the reaction forces due to misalignment.
  • Zero maintenance: The coupling has no relative moving parts, and hence requires no lubrication or routine maintenance.
  • No backlash: The coupling design, with fitted bolts, and torsionally stiff membranes ensures that there is zero backlash.
  • Spark-resistant option: Hazardous areas in refinery operations require spark-resistant couplings. This is by replacing the overload collars with components manufactured from non ferrous metals.
  • Standard features: The coupling hubs are fitted with puller holes as standard. Self-locking threads ensure the hub bolts remain in place under all vibration conditions. The transmission unit has compression and jacking bolt features to ease assembly and removal.
