INTEGRATED SHAFT COUPLING (ISC) GENERAL INFORMATION

GeNeRaL iNFORMaTiON, WORKiNG PRiNCiPLe The new VULKAN Integrated Shaft Coupling (ISC) combines in a unique way the well proven RATO DS torsional rubber coupling with a double cardanic intermediate shaft. The working principle of the ISC is based on the fact that the RATO DS cou- It was found that the angular deflection of the RATO DS causes – even at high pling transmits the torque primarily by shear stresses in the rubber which misalignment levels – a rather low strain level compared to the torque load have a pre-dominant radial/circumferential component. Therefore the RATO and thus a low...

posite iate shaft adVaNTaGeS Compared to pure torsional or conventional misalignment couplings the Integrated Shaft Coupling (ISC) offers the following advantages: Significant reduction of parts due to bearing less design. high misalignment capacity, low reaction forces. advantageous weight saving of the entire coupling. No noise transmission path through metallic or bearing parts. Up to seven meters long Composite intermediate shaft. extended torsional vibration tuning capabilities. iSC arrangement between electric motor and Z-drive gearbox RATO DS dual Adapter flange plate Hub
