REX-VIVA
Manufacturer: RexnordThe REX-VIVA is an elastomeric tyre coupling by Rexnord on an Omega base. A special polyurethane allows higher torque transmission at a smaller coupling size.
The REX-VIVA (Rexnord Viva Elastomeric Coupling) is a torsionally flexible elastomeric tyre coupling. The ring-shaped elastomer element connects both shaft ends and transmits torque while accommodating shaft misalignment and damping torsional vibration. The design follows the established Omega principle.
Its defining feature is a special polyurethane in place of the classic elastomer. As a result, the coupling transmits higher torque without a corresponding increase in size, which is an advantage where high power density is required in limited installation space. As is typical for tyre couplings, the elastomer element can be replaced for maintenance or exchange without axially moving the connected machines.
REEL carries the REX-VIVA as a trade product in its supply programme. Existing couplings can be sized, replaced or reordered as spare parts.
