FLENDER ZN Gear Coupling
- Double-jointed gear coupling
- Nominal torque range from TKN = 1,020 Nm up to 162,500 Nm with 12 sizes
- Temperature range: from –20 °C to +80 °C
Strong and reliable: ZAPEX ZN® couplings connect machine shafts and compensate for angular and radial misalignment.
ZAPEX gear couplings from the ZN series are made of high-quality quenched and tempered steel and are manufactured according to the modular construction system.

Did you know?
The design of the hub of the ZAPEX ZN coupling has been optimized for maximum bore capacity (up to 288 mm). The smaller and more compact coupling reduces the load on the bearings in the drive and driven machines. This ensures a long service life for the drive.
