Quadraflex 4-way flexible coupling
Parallel
Quadra-Flex® couplings absorb parallel misalignment without wear and with minimal loss of energy.
The amount of parallel offset handled varies by size from .015 on the size 5 up to .062 on the size 16. This minimizes the radial loads on bearings when parallel misalignment occurs.
Angular
Due to the flexing characteristics of the sleeve and the locking action of the teeth, Quadra-Flex® couplings easily handle angular misalignment up to 1 degree without any appreciable wear.
Torsional
Quadra-Flex® sleeves are torsionally resilient and are well suited to absorbing shocks and dampening vibrations that would otherwise be transmitted between the equipment.
S/B
The axial flexibility of the sleeve allows the Quadra-Flex® coupling to accept a limited amount of end float. This serves to reduce thrust loads transferred to bearings. Quadra-Flex® units will accept axial movement of approximately.
