Is it necessary to limit the end float of Euroflex Disc Coupling?
If a rotating equipment has its shafts located in thrust bearings, there is no reason for a coupling to have any form of limited float. If however, one of the machines has no axial location for rotor and the float of the rotor is purely limited by the end stops in the machine, then it may be necessary, to consider some form of end float limitation in the coupling, to prevent rotor hitting or running against its own end stops. It is in this situation that the Euroflex Disc coupling offers a very good advantage. The flexing elements in the Euroflex Coupling behave as springs having a non linear characteristic, consequently any axial movement of the rotor is restrained by a force of increasing magnitude. Under normal running conditions, the rotor will tend to run at its magnetic center and any attempt to move it from its natural position will induce an axial restoring force, increasing non-linearly, in proportion to the axial movement. In view of the above inherent design advantage of the
