Comparison with Other Composite Drive Shafts |
Features | Benefits |
Greater Misalignment Capacity | When misalignment occurs due to mechanical equipment shifting, greater than one degree of angular misalignment per flex disc allowed. |
Composite Flex Discs | Color coded by size for easy identification. Includes integral 316 SS bushings. |
Registered Bushings & Flanges | Lower stress concentrations and better assurance of alignment. |
High Strength Composite Flange Hubs | Spacer tube flange hubs are strong and corrosion resistant, while at the same time lightweight, reducing overhung loads. |
316 SS Flange Hubs | Corrosion resistance of stainless steel for motor & gearbox hubs. |
Standard 316 SS Hardware | Since precision hardware is not required, fasteners are easily replaced, and at lower costs. Optional monel hardware available. |
High Service Factor Rating | Capable of withstanding repetitive high start-up torques. |
Balancing | All drive shafts are dynamically balanced to AGMA 9000-C90, Class 9 specifications. |
Process Verification | Each Amarillo composite drive shaft is tested to 4 times continuous operating torque prior to shipment. |
Easier Installation | Fewer parts required at each flex disc connection. |
Special Shipping Tubes | Designed to give ultimate drive shaft protection for both international and domestic shipments. |
