This range of torsional couplings solve torsional vibration problems typical of those found in diesel engine driven equipment applications.
The torsional coupling dampens torsional vibrations and tunes the system to have critical speeds outside the operating range.
jbj Techniques Ltd can analyse the application and determine the exact torsional coupling needed for almost any application.
LF torsional couplings
Substantial shock, vibration and misalignment capabilities, maintenance free, fail-safe operation.
Characteristics and benefits of LF Torsional Couplings
The basic component of the LF torsional coupling available from jbj Techniques is the unique and highly versatile elastomeric element (1). This element can be easily mounted in a number of different ways depending on the application, and without special design changes or complex hardware modifications. The element, which is available in different materials for optimum performance, is connected to a cylindrical hub (2) with radial screws (3) and then to a flanged hub by axial (4) screws. This unique coupling design is remarkably simple, highly effective, and gives the LF torsional coupling unmatched performance capabilities.

Damper Couplings
The damper coupling (sometimes referrred to as the intermediate coupling) is used with universal joint (U-joint) and Cardan shafts to eliminate torsional vibrations from the diesel engine being transmitted to the driven equipment.
The damper coupling assures that the drive systems are free of dangerous resonance speeds in the operating speed range and eliminates damage to gears, bearings, seals and spline fretting the driven equipment.
LK Torsional Coupling System
Salient features and advantages
» Compact, light, robust and safe in operation with a long service life.
» Oil resistant and suitable for temperatures of -40°C up to +150°C.
» High torsional stiffness allowing operation below critical speed without resonances, provided it is correctly selected.
» Service free combination of sintered metal with highly shock resistant, temperature stabilized special polyamide.

LM Torsional Coupling System
The LM torsional couplings are made especially for diesel engine drives. In particular, the LM couplings are highly elastic torsionally, allowing the engine to drive a relatively small inertia load safely from damaging torsional resonance over a wide speed range from low idle RPM to full engine speed. They accomplish this task by shifting the critical speeds far enough below the idle speed to allow full use of the entire working speed range of the engine without limitation. In essence these sophisticated couplings effect an attenuated level of stress throughout the whole drive train by reducing vibratory torque to a very low level.
The shape of the elastomeric element distributes operating stresses equally over its working section, allowing for a large angle of twist, 6° to 12° at nominal torque load depending on size, while minimizing stress. This feature places the LM coupling amongst the highest torsional elasticities of all couplings available on the market. At the thick centre portion near the hub, as well as the cogs, stresses are further reduced to a very low level, providing a very reliable and robust drive.
