ZAPEX
Manufacturer: FlenderThe FLENDER ZAPEX is a torsionally rigid, lubricated steel gear coupling for compensating shaft misalignment in heavy drives. It is available as the ZW and ZN series.
The ZAPEX transmits torque by positive engagement through crowned external teeth that mesh with an internally toothed sleeve. The tooth backlash and crowned flank geometry allow the shafts to move relative to one another. In this way the coupling compensates for angular, radial and axial misalignment and relieves shafts and bearings. The gearing runs in lubricant, which minimises friction and wear in the tooth mesh.
As a torsionally rigid steel coupling, the ZAPEX transmits high torque in a compact envelope with high power density. It is designed for demanding drives with shock loads and load reversals and is available in the ZW and ZN versions, which cover different designs and connection variants. This makes it suitable for continuous duty in heavy industrial plants.
REEL supplies the ZAPEX in the ZW and ZN series including matching gearing and wear parts and assists with selection, sizing and replacement.
