What are the Features of the I-flex Coupling?
2016.10.06
The I-flex disc coupling requires no lubrication, thus eliminated the risk of contamination by leaking lubricant contaminating the disc resulting in a reduction of the braking torque. In addition, the replacement of the I-flex brake disc is possible without the need of removing the motor or the gear drive unit.
On the contrary, in order to lower cost, it is common to use a gear coupling with disc brake installed between the electric motor and the reduction box, yes cheaper but many negative aspects result. The main disadvantages are as follows:
* visible maintenance confirmation is not possible
* the need to add regular lubrication which leads to leaking of oil
* spraying of excess oil which contaminates the disc and brake
* Area becomes dirty with oil and grease
As a better solution, the I-flex Coupling which offers the following positive merits:
* Parts are visible for easy maintenance
* No need for lubrication- oil/grease
* Bushings and bolts are easily replaceable
* The brake and surrounding area stays clean and oil free
