H-R
High-performance, Reduced-moment Design for Low Overhung Moment (API 671 and ISO 10441)

H-R series couplings are designed for medium- to high-speed turbomachinery applications where low overhung moment and light weight with a high degree of reliability are critical. The couplings are manufactured in high alloy steel, with high-strength stainless steel flexible elements, supported by aircraft standard fastenings. The couplings are generally balanced to API 671 or similar, with pilot location to retain a very high level of repeatability.
