As the first to introduce advanced composite couplings to the cooling tower industry in 1987, Rexnord Addax is recognized as the benchmark in the industry. The lightweight, advanced composite material design increases critical speed, reduces vibration, and extends bearing life compared to alternative all-steel couplings. Rexnord Addax delivers best-in-class performance and lowest total cost of ownership.

=== Rexnord Addax CT Disc Couplings ===

= '''What makes Addax different than the rest?''' =

=== Proven & Trusted Performance ===
With over 50,000 couplings installed across the world, Rexnord Addax is the most specified coupling globally in the cooling tower industry. Customers continually select Addax Composite Couplings when dependable performance is a must.

=== Extended System Life ===
Low weight design reduces coupling inertia and overhung bearing loads, resulting in lower vibration and extended service life of connected components.

=== Rapid Installation & Maintenance ===
Superior design and high misalignment capability enable simplified installation process and ultra-fast replacement of wearable components. Low coupling weight eliminates need for special lifting equipment.

=== Low Total Cost of Ownership ===
The superior performance and reliability of Addax Composite Couplings along with Rexnord’s unmatched service and quick turnaround capability, combine to deliver the coupling solution with lowest Total Cost of Ownership.
