    Flexible coupling

    Double Cam Coupling REEL

    The double cam coupling REEL is a flexible coupling with a tradition. It transmits torque via elastic elements and compensates unavoidable shaft misalignment in the process. Like all flexible couplings by REEL, it shifts critical torsional vibrations, damps plant-induced shocks through the high material damping of the elastic elements and thus protects the coupled machine components.

    Heritage

    A product with a tradition

    The double cam coupling REEL is firmly anchored in the company's history and stands for what has defined REEL since 1950: power transmission technology from its own design and manufacturing, Made in Germany.

    Today we continue this heritage as manufacturer, still sizing couplings to the specific application. More on the company history since 1950.

    Function

    Flexible double cam coupling

    As a flexible coupling, the double cam coupling REEL works with torsional flexibility. This flexibility shifts critical speed ranges so they can be traversed and resonance amplification remains limited. This keeps torque transmission reliable even when shafts are not exactly aligned.

    • Torsionally flexibleElastic elements transmit torque and shift critical speed ranges.
    • Misalignment compensationCompensates unavoidable shaft misalignment even when shafts are not exactly aligned.
    • Limited resonanceCritical speed ranges can be traversed; resonance amplification remains limited.
    • Spare and wear partsWe supply the flexible packs as a set to suit the coupling size.
