BICO

The BICO connects the driving and driven shaft via an elastic rubber element that acts between the jaws of the two coupling halves. Torque is transmitted through this rubber element under compression, which deforms under load and thus yields torsionally. This compliance damps torsional vibration and torque peaks in the drive train while compensating axial, radial and angular misalignment between the shafts.

As a torsionally flexible coupling, the BICO protects the connected units from shocks and non-uniform torque, for example at start-up or on load-changing machines. The elastic rubber element also decouples vibration and thus reduces the load on bearings and shafts. The coupling is available in different versions such as BICO-TL and BICO-S, so the design can be matched to the respective mounting situation.

The rubber element is the elastic wear part of the BICO and can be replaced as a spare part, so the coupling can be maintained and reconditioned.
