SGFLEX-3FD-CONNECT

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SGFlex-3FD-CONNECT is a flexible drive shaft system developed by Süddeutsche Gelenkscheibenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG. It merges the advantages of traditional drive shafts and flexible couplings, providing a vibration-damping alternative to universal joint drive shafts. The system features a unique centering system, SGFlex-3F-ALIGN, and is available in six standard sizes.
Key Features:
  • Design and Versatility: The SGFlex-3FD-CONNECT has a distinctive 3-edge design and incorporates a patented centering system, enabling smooth operation at high speeds without shifting drive units.
  • Maintenance-Free: The system is lubricant-free and maintenance-free, with millions installed globally.
  • Easy Assembly: It can be radially disassembled and reassembled without moving the drive or driven machines.
  • High Torque Transmission: Thanks to Tenpu® fiber technology, it is capable of high torque transmission in compact spaces.
Applications:
  • Drivetrain of track vehicles
  • Connection between electric engines and roller conveyors
  • Drivetrain of jet impellers for boats
  • Combustion engines and generators
  • Fan propellers for cooling towers
Technical Specifications:
  • Torque: Nominal torque (TKN) and maximum torque (TKMax1, TKMax2) values are provided for different sizes, ensuring the system can handle various operational demands.
  • Displacement: The system compensates for axial and angular misalignments, with specific values for maximum radial and angular displacements.
  • Material and Construction: Includes high-quality bolts and washers, with options for corrosion protection through electroplated coating or paint.
Installation and Maintenance:
  • Installation should be performed by qualified personnel, with technical support available from SGF.
  • Technical data sheets and further information are available upon request.
Disclaimer: SGF reserves the right to make technical changes and does not guarantee the completeness or correctness of the information provided, except in cases of intent or gross negligence.
Specifications:
The document outlines the specifications for the elastic drive shaft, focusing on torque values and operational limits. Emergency operation is only possible after the application of the TKMax2 load, which is rare and typically due to machine damage or emergency shutdowns. It is recommended to replace the elastic drive shaft and screw connection parts after such events.

Torque Specifications:
- TKMax2 Torque: This is a rare torque value that occurs in emergency situations. Replacement of parts is advised after its occurrence.
- Permissible Continuously Oscillating Torque (TKW): This is the maximum permissible torque that can be superimposed on the nominal torque, specified as a vibratory amplitude.

Speed Specifications:
- Maximum Permissible Speed (nmax): This speed can be utilized continuously, provided the operating temperature limits are adhered to as per the SGF-TL-016 instructions.

Technical Data:
- Nominal torque values are specified up to 40,000 Nm and 13,200 Nm.

Company Information:
SGF GmbH & Co. KG is located in Waldkraiburg, Germany, with contact details provided for further inquiries. The company has multiple locations and agencies worldwide, including in Asia Pacific, North America, and various cities in Germany.

All parts can be protected against corrosion by either electroplated coating or paint, which protects the steel parts against aggressive media and environmental impacts. Applications in corn harvesting machines, inside biogas fermenters and in the salty area of the marine industry prove the excellent resistance against unfriendly environment. SGFlex-3FD-CONNECT flanges and all other coupling parts are built together by a simple screw connection, using high quality bolts (grade 10.9) and high quality washers (300 HV hardness). The screw connection is easy to install, as the bolts are bolted directly...
