Stiff couplings connect two aligned shaft ends and transmit torque reliably and maintenance-free. REEL manufactures them as clamp coupling similar to DIN 115, as flange coupling to DIN 116 and as flanged coupling, in grey cast iron GG-25, steel C45 or stainless steel 1.4305. Power transmission since 1950, Made in Germany.
Stiff coupling · two shaft ends Disc couplings are not stiff couplings but torsionally stiff: they compensate shaft misalignment. Thanks to their high power density they are considerably more powerful than flexible couplings.
REELDISC is an all-steel disc coupling with hubs of steel S 355 J2G3 (St-52.3) and disc packs of stainless steel. It transmits torque in a torsionally stiff way while compensating shaft misalignment. Technical specifications and sizes available on request.
If shocks and torsional vibrations also need to be damped, you will find the right design among the flexible couplings.
Stiff couplings connect two aligned shaft ends and transmit torque reliably without compensating shaft misalignment. REEL manufactures them as clamp coupling similar to DIN 115, flange coupling to DIN 116 and flanged coupling.
Stiff design with two bolted shells, maintenance-free. Technical specifications and sizes available on request.

Stiff flanged coupling in cast iron EN-GJL-250 (GG-25) or steel 1.0503 (C45), also with a shrink disc. Technical specifications and sizes available on request.
To product pagePlease note: ring inserts for the clamp coupling similar to DIN 115 and axial thrust washers for the flange coupling to DIN 116 are not included in the scope of supply. They must be ordered separately.
The REELDISC disc coupling is made entirely of steel. REEL manufactures its stiff couplings in grey cast iron GG-25, steel C45 and stainless steel 1.4305. The right material depends on torque, speed and operating environment.
Robust standard material for stable, durable designs in general mechanical engineering.
Higher strength, suitable for higher speeds and more heavily loaded drives.
Corrosion-resistant for demanding operating environments.
Confirmed specifications for the torsionally stiff and stiff designs at a glance. Torque, speed and size values are provided application-specifically on request.
Disc coupling: torsionally stiff torque transmission with compensation of shaft misalignment, high power density.
All-steel: hubs of steel S 355 J2G3 (St-52.3), disc packs of stainless steel.
Stiff connection of two aligned shaft ends, no compensation of shaft misalignment.
Clamp coupling similar to DIN 115, flange coupling to DIN 116.
Cast iron EN-GJL-250 (GG-25) or steel 1.0503 (C45), also with a shrink disc.
Grey cast iron GG-25, steel C45, stainless steel 1.4305.
Horizontal; in design C also vertical.
Wear-free, maintenance-free, both rotation directions, reversing duty, steel version for high speeds.
Clamp coupling without ring inserts, flange coupling without axial thrust washers. Both must be ordered separately.
