Coupling description
BoWex® Curved-tooth gear couplings® are flexible shaft connections for a positive torque transmission and
specifically suitable to compensate for axial, radial and angular shaft misalignment.
According to the well-known effect of curved-tooth gear couplings any edge pressure in the spline in case of
angular and radial displacements is avoided so that BoWex couplings are almost free from wear.
Additional Information
For drives subject to dangerous torsional vibrations to transmit the torque flexibly for the combination of diesel
engine with splitterbox, generator, compressor, feed pump, highpressure pump, etc.:
BoWex-ELASTIC® is highly flexible combining the benefits of the well-approved BoWex® system in a compact
design with the option of an axial plug-in assembly inside the curved toothing. Torsional vibrations and shock
loads are damped and reduced. Also, the coupling allows for compensation of radial, angular and axial
inaccuracies in alignment with extremely low restoring forces.
BoWex-ELASTIC® consists of a highly flexible, rubber element made from natural rubber which is governed by
the size of the coupling. The internal axial plug-in hub with external spline corresponds to the BoWex® basic
design. BoWex-ELASTIC® is available in different kinds of elastomer hardness with engine flywheel connection
flanges to SAE J620 and special dimensions for a power up to 1,000 kW.
