FLENDER ZAPEX ZW Gear Coupling

Double-jointed gear coupling
Nominal torque range from TKN = 1,300 Nm up to 7,200,000 Nm with 31 sizes
Temperature range: from –20 °C to +80 °C

The double-jointed gear couplings of the ZAPEX ZW series compensate angular, parallel and axial misalignment of shafts. They are particularly suitable for use under rough operating conditions.

In addition to the standard series, couplings up to 13,500,000 Nm can be offered.
