Flexible couplings
ELBO-R
Flexible pin coupling, flagship of the ELBO series, fail-safe and low-maintenance.
ELBO-R transmits torque through flexible pins, damps shocks and compensates shaft misalignment. With 26 sizes covering 200 to 1,300,000 Nm it serves a wide range of requirements and is the flagship of the REEL programme. Hubs are made from cast iron EN-GJL-250 or steel S355J2G3, and from ductile cast iron, C45/C60 or stainless steel for special designs. The pins are made of 42CrMo4 steel with a fine-machined surface.

Design variants of the ELBO-R pin coupling
Besides the standard version, the ELBO-R is available in special designs combined with a brake, a freewheel or an axial play limiter. All variants are supplied on request.
-
ELBO-R-ASBWith axial play limiter
Limits the axial play between the two coupling halves.
-
ELBO-RBSWith brake disc as holding brake
Brake disc that holds the drive at standstill.
-
ELBO-RSBSWith brake disc as service brake
Brake disc that brakes the drive during operation.
-
ELBO-RSBS-ASBWith brake disc and axial play limiter
Brake disc and axial play limitation in one coupling.
-
ELBO-RGBTWith brake drum
Coupling and brake drum as one unit.
-
ELBO-ER-GFRWith freewheel hub
Roller freewheel in the hub: transmits torque in one direction of rotation and overruns in the other.
-
ELBO-RS-DHWith divided hub
Version with a divided hub.
Spare and wear parts
We also supply matching spare and wear parts for this coupling.
