Dynaflex® LCR Series Couplings

Rated: 4 to 135 hp at 2000 rpm

LORD Dynafl ex LCR Series Couplings are ring-type couplings developed to overcome numerous torsional problems associated with vehicular and industrial drive- line systems. These easily installed couplings reduce noise transmission and increase bearing and driveline life through greater misalignment accommodation, isolation of low frequency disturbances, and isolation of torsional shock.

These highly fl exible elastomeric couplings for acces- sory drives are also designed to eliminate lubrication and maintenance.

Features and Benefits

•Misalignment accommodation – elastomeric fl exibility allows for large angular misalignment. For permissible misalignments, including axial and radial, Refer to Table 1.

•Vibration isolation – low torsional spring rate is achieved with the elastomeric ring-type coupling using rubber in compression. This allows for low system natural frequencies and isolation of fi rst mode driveline disturbances in most driveline systems.

•Shock protection – isolates torsional shock, prevents backlash and protects system components, including bearings, from fatigue failure.

•Long service life – Dynafl ex LCR Series Couplings have proven themselves under demanding service conditions.

•Maintenance-free – elastomer fl exibility accommo- dates all motion without wear, eliminates the need for lubrication.

•Noise reduction – no metal-to-metal contact; elas- tomer attenuates structure-borne noise and isolates vibration from components that would act as noise generators.

•Systems Engineering – LORD has in-house computer capabilities for multi-torsional analysis to assist in proper coupling selection.
