This composite coupling is optimized for efficient cooling tower operation with improved flexibility and reduced drivetrain stress.
- Lightweight composite spacer lowers rotational inertia and bearing load
- Patented flex elements eliminate fretting and stress-crack corrosion
- 316 stainless steel hardware resists aggressive cooling tower environments
- Flexible long-span configuration supports stable drivetrain alignment
- A composite structure absorbs vibration and reduces harmonic transfer
- Dynamically balanced for smoother high-speed operation
- High misalignment tolerance handles structural movement effectively
It is engineered for stable long-span industrial operation and reliable cooling tower drivetrain performance.

The Rexnord Addax Composite Cooling Tower Coupling delivers the best value for the cooling tower industry by providing excellent features such as:
- Corrosion resistance
- High-misalignment capacity
- Excellent fatigue resistance
- Low weight
Low Weight Means Easy Installation
The advanced composite, full-floating center section of Rexnord Addax Composite Couplings weigh less than 25% of a comparable steel spacer. In fact, most of these couplings weigh less than 100 (45.36 kg) pounds, which can often eliminate the need for special lifting equipment and simplify handling and installation.
