L Series Bellhousing

Due to the wide variety of pumps that our bellhousings accommodate, the dimensions provided in the tables apply only to bellhousings with unmachined pump face details. Missing details include the pump spigot and fixings. For spigots smaller than the 'E' dimension, steel adaptor rings are used.

RV Series Bellhousing

Our Monobloc Bellhousings with integrated noise dampers are engineered to meet the specifications of VDMA 24 561, offering an advanced solution for reducing noise and vibration in mechanical drive systems.

The connection between the noise damping ring and the bellhousing is achieved through a molded design, incorporating a form-conclusive, vulcanized elastomer compound. This design ensures that there is no rotation or radial wind-up, providing enhanced performance and durability.
The unique construction of the bellhousing significantly improves stiffness, resulting in a tensile strength of 56 kN. This value is based on a monoblock bellhousing with a motor flange diameter of 300mm, which is suitable for use with an electric motor of frame size D132. The increased stiffness not only enhances structural integrity but also minimizes shaft misalignment, contributing to the reduction of wear and extending the service life of the drive coupling.

These Monobloc bellhousings with noise damper are the ideal choice for applications where noise reduction and high mechanical performance are critical. For more detailed specifications and technical data, please refer to the RV Series Bellhousing Data Sheet.
