General

ARCUSAFLEX coupling design AC with bolted hub

The ARCUSAFLEX coupling which is a highly flexible flywheel coupling with axial plug-in facility, establishes a
torsionally soft connection between an internal combustion engine and a driven machine.
The highly flexible torque transmission characteristic is achieved by a disc-shaped rubber element that is subjected
to torsional thrust and enables both, absorption of torsional vibrations to a great extent and compensation of major
misalignments. To reach an optimum adaptation to the conditions of application there are three different kinds of
vulcanisates available, a natural/synthetic caoutchouc mixture as standard version up to 80C, a more heat
resistant mixture up to 100C and for high temperatures up to 130C ambient temperature a silicone caoutchouc.
The inside diameter of the rubber disc elements is vulcanized directly to a taper hub or bolt-on sleeve. The spline
on the circumference of the element provides in service a nearly backlash-free, positive plug-in connection to the
coupling flange.
The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling series comprises sizes for a torque range from 200 - 110000 Nm (corresponding to approx. 6500 kW at 1000 rpm). Element versions of different torsional stiffnesses are available for
optimizing the torsional vibration range. The flange connecting dimensions of the ARCUSAFLEX couplings comply
predominantly with the SAE J 620 and DIN 6281 standards. Other flange dimensions or overall lengths can be
provided on request.
Requirements for shaft-to-shaft connections can be met by ARCUSAFLEX shaft couplings which actually consist of
ARCUSAFLEX flywheel couplings of standard design being equipped with a second hub.
Type approvals by a number of leading classification societies are on hand. If required, couplings with fail safe
devices can be supplied as well.
The ARCUSAFLEX couplings comply the explosion protection according to ATEX 95. They are certified according
to the directive 94/9/EC and may be used in hazardous locations (categories M2, 2 + 3).

Taper bush

Flange

ARCUSAFLEX type AC-T with taper bush

The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling type AC-T...F2 is equipped with a taper bush for shaft mounting. The rubber
disc element is vulcanized directly to the taper hub. After completion of the assembly, a shrink-fit-like connection,
free from backlash in the bore, is established between the coupling hub with rubber disc element and the shaft.
Thanks to the use of commercially available taper bushes with a number of different bore dimensions, the need for
finishing the bores and keyways of the coupling hub is omitted for the ARCUSAFLEX coupling type AC-T.
Advantage: Ease of assembly and disassembly with no need for special tools.

ARCUSAFLEX type AC...F2 with bolted hub

The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling type AC...F2 has the rubber disc element vulcanized to a bolt-on sleeve
which in turn is bolted to a hub or similar component in a frictionally engaged manner.
Advantage: Depending on the arrangement of the rubber disc element, two different mounting lengths can be
achieved using one and the same coupling hub.

Element versions: WN = 55 Shore A; NN = 65 Shore A; SN = 75 Shore A, UN = 85 Shore A

Due to the manucaturing process and the properties, tolerances of the shore hardness are inevitable. Because of the in-house
manufacturing, the tolerance of the shore hardness is only 2 and +5 Shore A.

General technical hint:

The specified technical data apply ony to the proper coupling or the corresponding coupling elements. It is the
customers/users responsibility to ensure no inadmissible load of all components. Especially existing SAE bolt
connections have to be checked regarding the transmittable torque. If necesarry other measures are requested,
e.g. additional reinforcement by pins. As well it is the customers/users responsibility to make sure the right
dimensioning of the shaft and key connection or any other connection. At type AC-T...F2 the transmittable torques
are determined by the the used taper bush.
Reich-Kupplungen has an extensive programme of couplings to select for nearly every drive the right designs.
Furthermore different calculation programms for the all necesarry selection are available.

Additional information about selection of couplings with silicone elements:

1.6 - 2.0 TAN TKN

TAN = nominal torque of the drive

TKmax1 is the highest permissible maximum torque of the application caused by starting and stopping procedure with
run through the resonance speed.
TKmax2 is the highest permissible peak torque, which can be occured conditioned by the application with a limited
number, e.g. short-circuit, failure synchronization, emergency stop.

The coupling size to be used in conjunction with internal combustion engines is dimensioned and selected with a
view to torsional vibration. For a rough dimensioning using the engine torque TAN, a general safety factor of
S = 1.3 - 1.5 shall be applied for ARCUSAFLEX coupling with flexible rubber disc element of natural/synthetic
caoutchouc.
The following requirements shall be satisfied for a proper selection of the coupling size:
1. The nominal torque capacity TKN of the coupling
shall be at least equal to the max. engine torque TAN
at any operating temperature while taking the temperature factor St into account.
Calculation of the nominal engine torque:

TKN TAN St

P[kW]
TAN[Nm] = 9550
n[rpm]

The temperature factor St allows for a decreasing load

carrying capability of the coupling at elevated ambient
temperatures. In this connection St = St1 is valid for
the standard version and St = St2 is valid for silicone
caoutchouc.
2. The maximum torque capacity TKmax of the coupling
shall be at least equal to the highest torque Tmax at any
operating temperature while taking the temperature
factor St into account.
3. The permissible continuous fatigue torque under
reversed stresses TkW of the coupling shall be at
least equal to the highest fatigue torque under
reversed stresses TW encountered throughout the
operating speed range while taking the temperature
and frequency into account. The frequency factor Sf
allows for the frequency dependence of the permissible continuous fatigue torque under reversed
stresses TKW (10 Hz) for other frequencies fx.

The dimensioning of the coupling should be checked for the permissible coupling load by means of a torsional
vibration analysis which will be conducted by us on request. When using ARCUSAFLEX couplings in drives with
great torque transmission variations, an additional safety factor shall be applied for torque transmission to the
driven machine. Lists specifying couplings assigned to different ratings and torsional vibration conditions are
available for all common internal combustion engines operating at constant speeds to facilitate your selection of an
operationally safe coupling.
The coupling can be equipped with an additional balancing mass on the primary or secondary side if this is
required due to the torsional vibration conditions or for control reasons.
Further technical details for the torsional vibration calculation and for use of the ARCUSAFLEX rubber disc
coupling are available upon request.

Alignment
Careful alignment of the coupling is an essential requirement for detached, non-flanged machinery in order to
ensure proper functioning of the coupling and to avoid premature wear of the rubber element.
Flywheel couplings shall be aligned from the shaft-side coupling half to either one of the machined surfaces of the
engine flywheel or engine housing. Where shaft couplings are used, the angular and radial displacements between
the two coupling halves are determined by applying the usual dial indicator method. The alignment rules of the
other application componentes have to be considered.

ARCUSAFLEX shaft coupling

Permissible shaft displacement

The permissibility of major shaft displacements depends on a number of factors such as coupling size, shore
hardness of the rubber element, operating speed and torque load of the coupling. The following reference values
refer to an operating speed of 1500 rpm.
Precise alignment of the shaft orientation prevents premature wear of the rubber element.

Larger displacements of short duration, as they may occur when starting and stopping the diesel engine, are permissible. The maximum displacements must not occur simultaneous.
*) At types AC...F2K and AC...TK the axial fitting length LF of the coupling should always offer a plus tolerance
within the possible tolerance range in order to reach max. axial movability of the dismantled coupling element.

Safety precautions
It is the customers and users responsibility to provide proper guards over rotating machinery and to
observe the national and international safety rules and laws.
Check all bolted connections for proper fit preferably after the test run.
