General

ARCUSAFLEX coupling design AC

The ARCUSAFLEX coupling is a highly flexible flywheel coupling with an axial plug-in facility. It provides 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 a torsional load and enables both, the absorption of high torsional vibrations and the compensation of major
misalignments. For an optimum adaptation to the conditions of application three different kinds of vulcanisates are
available: For application temperatures up to 80°C a natural/synthetic caoutchouc mixture as a standard version,
up to 100°C a more heat resistant mixture and for higher application temperatures up to 130°C a silicone mixture.

The inside diameter of the rubber disc element is vulcanized directly to a taper hub or bolt-on sleeve. The toothed
profile on the circumference of the element provides in service a virtually backlash-free, positive plug-in connection
to the coupling flange.

The ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling series covers 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 connection dimensions of ARCUSAFLEX couplings comply predominantly
with the SAE J 620 and DIN 6281 standards. Other flange dimensions or overall lengths can be provided on
request.

Shaft-to-shaft connections when required can be met by ARCUSAFLEX shaft couplings which consist of
ARCUSAFLEX flywheel couplings of the standard design equipped with a second hub.

Type approvals by a number of leading classification societies are available. If required, couplings complete with
fail safe devices can also be supplied.

ARCUSAFLEX couplings comply to 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).

Main features of the highly flexible ARCUSAFLEX couplings

• Very high torsional flexibility with a linear torsional deflection characteristic
• High torsional vibration and shock load absorbing capability
• Backlash-free torque transmission
• Ease of assembly thanks to the plug-in type design with ample axial float
• Compensation of major misalignments
• Torque limitation protecting the drive against overload
• ATEX 95

Types

Taper bush

Taper hub with rubber element

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 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 bore and keyway of the coupling hub is omitted for the ARCUSAFLEX coupling type AC-T. The
torque, which can be transmitted, depends on the particular taper bush.

Advantage: Ease of assembly and disassembly with no need for special tools!

Bolted hub

Flange

ARCUSAFLEX type AC...F2 with bolted hub

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

Technical note :

The technical data applies only to the complete coupling or the corresponding coupling elements. It is the
customer’s/user’s responsibility to ensure there are no inadmissible loads acting on all the components. Especially
existing SAE bolt connections have to be checked regarding the transmittable torque, if necessary other measures,
e.g. additional reinforcement by pins, may be required. It is also the customer’s/user’s responsibility to make sure
the dimensioning of the shaft and keyed or other connection is correct. With the type AC-T...F2 the transmittable
torque is dependant among others on the torque capacity of the taper bush.

REICH-KUPPLUNGEN have an extensive programme of couplings to cover nearly every drive configuration.
Furthermore customized solutions can be developed and be manufactured also in small series or as prototypes.

Selection of the proper coupling size

The coupling size to be used in conjunction with internal combustion engines is dimensioned and selected with a
view to torsional vibration. For a preliminary selection use the engine torque TAN, a general safety factor of S = 1.3 -
1.5 should be applied for ARCUSAFLEX couplings with flexible rubber disc elements of natural/synthetic
caoutchouc.
The following requirements should be satisfied for a proper selection of the coupling size:

1. The nominal torque capacity TKN of the coupling

should be at least equal to the max. engine torque TAN TKN TAN S t
at any operating temperature while taking the tem-
perature factor S t into account.

Calculation of the nominal engine torque:

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

The temperature factor St allows for a decreasing load

carrying capability of the coupling at elevated ambient 60°C 70°C 80°C 90°C 100°C 110°C 120°C 130°C
temperatures. In this connection St = St1 is valid for S t1 1.25 1.4 1.6 on request - - -
the standard version and S t = S t2 is valied for the S t2 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.7 1.9 2.1 2.3 2.5
silicone version.

2. The maximum torque capacity TKmax of the coupling

should be at least equal to the highest torque Tmax at TKmax Tmax S t
any operating temperature while taking the tem-
perature factor St into account.

3. The permissible continuous fatigue torque under

reversing stresses TkW of the coupling should be at TKW(10Hz) TW St Sf
least equal to the highest fatigue torque under
reversing stresses TW encountered throughout the
operating speed range while taking the temperature
and frequency into account. The frequency factor Sf fX
allows for the frequency dependence of the permis- Sf =
10
sible continuous fatigue torque under reversing
stresses TKW (10 Hz) for other frequencies fx.

The dimensioning of the coupling should be checked for permissible coupling loads 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 should 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 information for the torsional vibration calculation and for use of the ARCUSAFLEX rubber disc coupling are
available upon request.

Tightening torques
for ARCUSAFLEX flywheel couplings
All boIts and screws must be tightened to the specified torques during assembly in order to ensure a reliable torque
transmission. Prior to putting the machinery into operation, all bolts and screws of the coupling must be checked for proper fit
and tightness. The indicated torques apply to an total friction factor of µ = 0.14. For further questions please ask REICH-
KUPPLUNGEN.

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 requirements of
the other application components have to be considered additionally.

ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling ARCUSAFLEX flywheel coupling ARCUSAFLEX shaft coupling

Type AC...F2 Type AC-T...F2

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 prevents premature wear of the rubber element.

Larger displacements of short duration, as may occur when starting and stopping the diesel engine, are per-
missible. These maximum displacements must not occur simultaneous.

*) At types AC...F2K and AC...TK the axial fitting length L F 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 customer’s and user’s 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.
