JBJ Techniques offers ATEX-compliant JXL torsionally resilient couplings, of pin and bush design.
They comprise two fully machined steel flanges, coupled via a series of drive pins and hytrel flexible elements.
The elements have the ability to absorb shock loads and dampen vibration. The couplings do not produce static and do not sustain burning. Maximum shaft diameters up to 400mm with torques of 300,000Nm and speeds up to 11,000rpm can be accommodated.
The JXL range of resilient couplings can cope with angular, radial and axial misalignment.
Furthermore, they are torsionally resilient, non-lubricating and capable of operating between temperatures of –50°C and +105°C.
The elements are flame resistant, anti-static and have NCB acceptance for use underground in coal mines (number A2032).
The couplings are ATEX certificated to Directive: 94/9/EC II2GD-IM2-T6. Harmonised standards are EN13463-4, EN13463-5, EN50303 and EN13463-1.
‘Archaic rules’ torn up to green light new nuclear
Lack of data about windpower being cheaper than nuclear was, I felt, the question that you replied to. and as the context is energy security it would...
