BOFLEX

BOFLEX transmits torque positively through pins that engage with elastic buffer elements. These elastomer elements connect the two coupling halves and carry the actual load. As a result, torque shocks and vibrations in the drivetrain are damped before they reach the connected machines.

Being a torsionally flexible design, BOFLEX also accommodates shaft misalignment caused in operation by assembly tolerances, thermal expansion or bearing play. The yielding pin and buffer combination reduces the load on bearings and shafts and ensures smoother, lower-wear running. The elastic elements are designed as wear parts and can be replaced individually during service without removing the shafts.

REEL offers BOFLEX as a design from the Breitbach programme and supports everything from selecting the correct size to spare-part supply throughout the plant's service life.
