The Guardian SUPERFLEX Coupling consists of two cast iron (GGG40) hubs, a super elastic flexible rubber element of 55° shore "A" hardness, and bolts with self locking nuts required for assembly.
The rubber elements are provided with an outer metallic band that is to be removed after mounting. This allows the rubber to expand from its original pre-stressed condition. As a result of this, the allowable torsional load of the rubber element is influenced favorably, i.e., a lower tensile stress and a higher permissible vibratory torque load.
The SUPERFLEX Coupling has been used world-wide on a variety of applications including light towers, gen-sets, compressors, welding sets and other construction machinery with large driven inertias.
