STEELFEX

In a grid coupling, a continuous corrugated steel spring grid connects the toothed hubs of the two coupling halves. The grid seats into the axial slots and transmits torque through its spring sections. Under load the contact point of the grid shifts within the slots, making the coupling torsionally flexible and damping torsional shocks and load peaks. Lubrication inside the closed housing ensures low wear and defined friction conditions.

Grid couplings combine high torque transmission with good damping and a limited compensation of shaft misalignment. The replaceable spring grid is the central wear element and can be exchanged without dismantling the hubs. This makes the design particularly suitable for drives with shock-loaded or fluctuating load profiles.

REEL supplies the Falk Steelflex grid coupling (Regal Rexnord) including spring grids and spare parts and supports selection and replacement.
