Kop-Flex High Performance Disc Couplings
  • High Performance disc and KS disc
  • Diaphragm Couplings High Performance Gear Couplings
  • HIgh Performance Gear Couplings

High Performance Disc Couplings
KOP-FLEX? high performance or high speed disc couplings are available in four designs to accommodate all operating conditions and applications. In reduced moment with lowest overhung moment - RM with its interlocking (redundant) configuration, RZ allows lowest overhung moment at an economical price. Marine style - allows for installing and removing factory assembled center sections without removing the driving or driven end rigid hubs/adapters.? MS offers the interlocking flanges, MP is the more economical option.

  • Stainless steel unitized flexible disc pack - same as KOP-FLEX high performance disc coupling.
  • MP - Marine style design only - with rigid hubs for large bore capacity.
  • Peak torque capacity of 5.2 million lb-in. (588 kN-m)
  • Maximum bore capacity of 20 inches (508 mm) diameter.
?
?Diaphragm Couplings
?KOP-FLEX? has innovated an extremely reliable, maintenance free, diaphragm coupling with over 10 million hours of operation. This patented design has eliminated the failure mode and reliability issue with welded design currently available in the market. The entire design was conceived from the state of the art finite element analysis (FEA) and computer aided manufacturing.

High Performance Gear Couplings
OP-FLEX? revolutionized the industry in early 1950's by pioneering a high performance gear coupling for Turbomachinery. Although the vast majority of new applications are for high performance disc or diaphragm couplings, gear couplings are still the work horse in hundreds of applications throughout the world. A majority of these installations in gas turbine load and accessory drive applications feature KOP-FLEX (formerly known as Koppers).
The gear coupling, with its continuous oil lubrication method, if properly maintained, has tremendous torque capacity in a given diameter compared to non-lubricated type high performance couplings.
