Benefits » ZAPEX gear couplings link machine shafts and compensate for shaft misalignment with weak restorative forces. » High transmissible torque combined with compactness and light weight are characteristic of ZAPEX couplings. » ZAPEX couplings require very little maintenance. Regular grease or oil changes at the prescribed intervals prolongs the service life of the coupling. Application » ZAPEX couplings are especially suited for operation in harsh operating conditions, such as drives in the iron smelting or cement industry. » ZAPEX couplings are suitable for reverse operation and horizontal mounting positions and, in the case of type ZWNV, for vertical mounting positions. Function » The torque is transmitted through the coupling teeth. The teeth are crowned, so angular displacement per tooth plane is possible. » Radial displacement can be compensated for via the space VA between the tooth planes. The internal teeth of the flanged sleeves are significantly wider than the external teeth of the hub parts, permitting a relatively high axial misalignment. » A small angular misalignment on the coupling teeth results in an advantageous distribution of the lubricant film and a very low wear rate. This favourable condition can be deliberately set by aligning the drive with the machine shafts with a slight radial misalignment.
