The high tooth contact and high-quality gearing create high torsional rigidity.
Low restoring forces are imparted while compensating for shaft misalignment.
The special geometry of the gearing also allows for large offset values during operation – whether they be lateral, angular or axial.
Secure torque transmission is achieved by precision shoulder bolts with fine threads

The low-wear, flexible gear couplings from EP are used in a wide variety of industries. Particularly in heavy-duty operation – such as on the high torque shafts of mixers, rolling mills, crushers, test stands and conveyors – gear couplings transmit torques from 1,900 to 2,080,000 Nm with high torsional rigidity and low backlash. To ensure optimal performance, EP manufactures both the coupling hubs and the flange sleeves with precise crowned gearing, made from high-strength steel.

EP Curved Tooth Flexible Gear Couplings are made for extensive use in Metal Rolling Mills, Paper Machinery, Cranes, Dredgers, Rubber and Plastic Industries, Cement Plants, Conveyors and Elevators, Compressors, Fans and Blowers, Screens and other general industries.
EP Gear Couplings are distinguished by their mechanical flexibility and compensation of Angular, Parallel and Axial misalignments of the connected shafts.
Flexible Gear Couplings basically consist of two hubs, with crowned external teeth and two outer sleeves with internal spur teeth.
Gear Hubs and the outer sleeves are manufactured from carbon steel and are hardened to the required degree. They are machined to fine tolerances for proper meshing of the gears as well as for inter-changeability.

 Functions as a resilient coupling by damping torsional vibration and cushioning shock loads, resulting in reduced vibration at the output end of the coupling. Peak loading is reduced, for smooth torque transmission, to help protect connected equipment from potentially damaging vibratory loads. During an extreme overload, the grid can shear, reducing the possibility of damage to expensive machinery and equipment.

 The Elastomeric Coupling is a non-lubricated flexible coupling with benefits such as long life, simple installation, wrap around design, rubber in compression, cushions shock loads, corrosion resistant, and dampens torsional vibrations. Simple installation of this coupling is a unique feature. Just mount the hubs, align the shafts and install the flexible element. Assembly is completely visible, with no hidden or hard to reach components. The flexible element can be replaced without disturbing foundation bolts or shaft alignment.
