The VULKARDAN F is the successor of the well-established VULKARDAN E and complements the VULKAN highly flexible couplings product portfolio below the RATO R torque range. In comparison to similar couplings, the VULKARDAN F is characterized by a very compact design, resulting in a weight reduction and a very short installed length. Furthermore, the optimized design of the element increases heat dissipation considerably, which results in high power loss. Accordingly, VULKARDAN F highly flexible couplings can also be installed in applications with high alternating torques, and temperature-induced aging processes are efficiently reduced.
The VULKARDAN F is suitable for flexibly mounted drive systems and makes it possible to compensate radial, axial, and angular offsets by using a very soft element in combination with a high-performance membrane. The Vulkardan F is available in four rubber qualities as well as in silicone, enabling perfect torsional tuning of the drive train. With its highly flexible torsial elements, the Vulkardan F is specially designed to avoid gearbox rattling in small gearboxes. In addition, a modular tuning mass is available that can be attached after the installation of the coupling to achieve the highest comfort requirements.

Benefits

• Compact and short-build design for the smallest possible space requirements and easy handling. Vulkardan F rubber and silicone couplings achieve effective vibration protection and high displacement capacity, which guarantees the protection of connected machinery and therefore the highest system availability.
• Low weight for the protection of engine bearings and reduction of service costs
• Optional tuning mass is used for subsequent fine-tuning and the achievement of the highest possible comfort.
• Due to the high permanent power loss, Vulkardan F highly flexible couplings are suitable for all propulsion and generator applications.
