Ruland Flexible Coupling Flector Polyurethane Material Size JD16 Misalignment Angular 0.9° Axial 0.51mm Parallel 0.1mm JD16

Ruland JD16 Flexible Coupling Flector manufactured in the United States features a polyurethane spider torque disc constructed for effective damping of impulse loads, minimizing shock to motors and sensitive equipment. This coupling is composed of two aluminum hubs and a snap-fit spider torque disc designed to provide zero backlash and high torque capacity, suitable for industrial mechanical power transmission applications.

The flexible coupling assembly accommodates angular misalignment of up to 0.9°, axial misalignment of 0.51 mm, and parallel misalignment of 0.1 mm, ensuring optimal performance even under slight installation inaccuracies. Its fail-safe design feature permits operation even if the spider element fails, enhancing system reliability.

Ruland offers spiders in two hardness levels: 85 Shore A for superior damping characteristics and 98 Shore A for enhanced torsional rigidity, allowing customization of coupling performance according to application requirements. Ideal for use in industrial machinery, HVAC systems, manufacturing equipment, and other applications requiring torsional elasticity and shock absorption.

This product is part of Ruland's range of flexible coupling flectors, which provide zero backlash curved jaw coupling solutions with balanced design accommodating high bearing loads and moderate inertia. Each complete coupling assembly requires two aluminum hubs and one spider torque disc ordered separately to ensure tailored configurations.

Durable polyurethane spider torque disc for shock absorption. Supports misalignments: angular 0.9°, axial 0.51 mm, parallel 0.1 mm. Fail-safe operation allowing continued function upon spider failure. Two aluminum hubs combined with a spider form the coupling assembly.

Customizable spider hardness levels for damping or rigidity.

Ruland flexible coupling flectors are highly regarded in industrial mechanical power transmission applications for improving system longevity by minimizing mechanical shocks. Browse EnvMart’s Flexible Coupling Flector category for detailed selection and technical support resources.
