QUICK FLEX Couplings
When your equipment operates in harsh environments, you need coupling products you can count on. QUICK FLEX elastomeric couplings are designed to withstand those harsh conditions, yet need minimal maintenance. They’re easy-to-install and require no lubrication. With a lifespan that can match that of your equipment, QUICK FLEX couplings can keep your overall cost of ownership competitively low.
Quickflex Coupling Features[edit | edit source]
Efficiency[edit | edit source]
QUICK FLEX couplings, with its versatile design, provide a solution to a wide variety of coupling applications. Plus, you won’t need large inventories of spare parts – the only replacement part needed is the insert itself and it can be replaced in a matter of minutes without removing the hubs.
Durability[edit | edit source]
There’s no metal-to-metal contact with QUICK FLEX couplings, so you’ll save money by avoiding damage to hubs or other metal components. For harsh environments, including wash-downs for food processing, we offer a stainless-steel version of each coupling.
More Uptime[edit | edit source]
Your hubs and metal components can remain intact when you use QUICK FLEX couplings. Our design helps eliminate interference between coupling hubs that can damage your equipment. As needed, you can replace the urethane insert quickly and easily.
Innovative Design[edit | edit source]
Our couplings withstand up to 2 degrees of misalignment, as well as dampening vibration and shock loads in your equipment.
Reduced Inventory[edit | edit source]
The versatility of the QUICK FLEX design promotes standardization across your plant, reducing the need to stock multiple coupling styles and configurations.
