Falk Lifelign Gear Couplings’ triple-crowned teeth are crowned on the root, tip and face to articulate freely and minimize wear caused by misalignment. By eliminating tip-loading while reducing backlash and radial clearances, Lifelign’s triple-crown teeth can help protect equipment from damaging loads.

Falk Gear Coupling[edit | edit source]

The unmatched bore capacities and torque ratings of Falk Lifelign couplings often allow you to select a smaller sized coupling for a given application. In fact, selections for T frame, 60 hertz electric motors result in a drop of one coupling size for half of the 28 motor frames available. The result: quality, reliability and performance with average savings of 15-20% over competitive offerings. The smaller overall size also makes Lifelign couplings well suited for limited space applications that still require large bores and high torque loads.

Design Attributes & Advantages[edit | edit source]

  • The high torque ratings and large bore capacities result in savings of up to 35% compared to the competition
  • Long Term Grease (LTG) lubrication and a four-point seal provide maximum lubrication retention, extend the coupling life and contribute to reduced maintenance needs.
  • 3 year heavy duty warranty when used with LTG
  • Lifelign’s triple-crowned teeth are crowned on the root, tip and face to articulate freely, minimizing wear caused by misalignment. The triple- crowned teeth protects equipment from damaging loads by eliminating tip- loading while reducing backlash and radial clearances.

Falk Steel Flex Coupling[edit | edit source]

Rexnord has been manufacturing and improving our Falk Steelflex Grid Couplings for nearly a century. Known for durability in critical applications, proven performance and versatile design, these couplings are the most frequently specified grid coupling in North America.

Grid couplings are common in a variety of industries and applications because they are able to operate under extreme conditions and handle high levels of torque. There are several brands of grid couplings and they all appear to be identical. However, third party tests discussed in this paper show a wide range of results measuring the performance and durability of Falk, Dodge, and Lovejoy branded grid couplings. These results demonstrate that there can be a significant impact on the uptime and production on your system, plant or mine by the brand of grid coupling that is specified.

Design Attributes & Advantages[edit | edit source]

  • The unique “replace in place” design eliminates the need to move hubs or realign shafts, reducing element change-out time.
  • High Strength alloy steel taper grid member are quenched and tempered to spring hardness. The grid surface is shot peened resulting in dramatic increase of Fatigue strength and torque ratings.
  • Steelflex tunes the drive system. It absorbs impact energy by spreading it over an increment of time. It damps vibration and reduces peak or shock loads by as Much as 30%.
  • Durable Nitrile Seals are heat resistant to 275°F (135°C).
  • Pipe plugs with Steel Material Zinc Plated Finish to ensure an adequate grease reservoir during initial start-up and application run.
