Thomas
Thomas Disc Couplings are torsionally rigid, all-metal flexible couplings that require no regular maintenance or lubrication. Angular, parallel, and axial misalignment are accommodated through flexible disc packs which can be visually inspected without disconnecting equipment.
Thomas couplings are engineered for infinite life and optimized for motor, engine, and turbine-driven applications. With over 100 years of coupling manufacturing history and Rexnord’s dedication to conservative design practices, the Thomas brand is trusted for its reliability on the most critical power train systems.
Features & Benefits:
- All-metal construction providing minimal backlash and low restoring forces
- Require no lubrication
- Visual inspection of disc packs without need to disconnect equipment
- Inherently balanced as manufactured, delivering low vibration even at maximum allowable speeds
- Compensate for angular, parallel (radial), and axial misalignment
- Application flexibility – More than 25 standard sizes with close-coupled, spacer, and floating shaft designs
- API 610 / ISO 14691 & API 671 / ISO 10441 compliant designs
- Engineered-to-order capabilities for custom features or special requirements
Product Range
Thomas Series XTSR Couplings
Optimized coupling design delivering low weight and high torque density for general purpose and critical ANSI/API process pump, fan, and compressor drive applications. The modularity of XTSR platform extends across various models to offer broad application coverage:
- XTSR52: Non-adapter style spacer model enhances legacy Series 52
- XTSR71: Adapter-style spacer model enhances legacy Series 71
- XTSRLS: Long span / floating shaft
- XTSRS: Single flexing
- XTSRGA: Long span gear coupling replacement.
Thomas AMR & CMR Heavy-Duty Couplings
Ideal solution for applications with high starting torque, shock loads, and torque reversals. Typically used with engine or motor-driven reciprocating gas compressors.
- AMR: Shaft-to-shaft connection
- CMR: Shaft-to-flywheel connection
Thomas Series 54 Close-Coupled Couplings
Maintenance-free solution for close-coupled applications where gear and grid style couplings are commonly used.
- Series 54RD: Axially-split center spacer permits “replace-in-place” functionality
- Series 54RDG: Axially-split center spacer with piloted adapter feature
Thomas DBZ Couplings
General purpose couplings used when shaft-to-shaft spacing is minimal.
- DBZ: Two inverted hubs for minimal shaft-to-shaft spacing
- DBZ-A: One extended hub to accommodate tapered bores
- DBZ-B: Two extended hubs for larger shaft gaps
Thomas Legacy Series Spacer Couplings
Industry-proven spacer coupling solutions for general purpose and critical ANSI/API process pump & compressor drive applications.
