1.Product Introduction
Fiber reinforced coupling
AIOFLEX flexible coupling is a very strong, durable, stable and reliable coupling. The body is made of high-quality elastomer covered with a high-strength fiber coil reinforcement structure.
The coupling body can be combined with alloy steel forged flanges or flywheels to form an assembly, suitable for various mechanical equipment and various industries. It can be used in any place and can transmit torque output safely and smoothly, eliminate resonance, and provide comprehensive protection for mechanical equipment.
AIOFLEX products have a third-party inspection unit, SGS, issue reports, and pass the torsion impact test (1,000,000 times starts or sudden stops)
It is sufficient to prove that the strong structure of AIOFLEX coupling can withstand the load and the long-term product life.

AIOFLEX flexible coupling has excellent performance in anti-vibration. And can eliminate the effect of thermal expansion and contraction.
The elastic structure of AIOFLEX coupling eliminates the resonance phenomenon during mechanical operation.
The reduction of resonance phenomenon not only reduces the damage to internal parts, but also improves the strength of the transmission system and increases the service life of the machine.
Based on the multiple advantages at the same time, AIOFLEX flex coupling can provide high torque and load buffer for power transmission in extreme environments, making it a perfect coupling combination system..
Suitable for all machine types and operating systems. Commonly used systems include pumping system, hydraulic system, conveyor drive system, reducer system, generator system,... Machine tools machinery and various industries.

3.Forged flange
The triangle-shaped flange is forged from high-quality alloy steel with material certification. The inner hole diameter can be processed to suit your needs. Including various mechanical requirements such as keyway/slot or multi-spline groove. Other special triangle shapes can also be customized (Larger machining apertures can be provided like triangle fixtures.)
The flange is rust-proof and protected by electroplating coating. It has the advantages of easy storage, anti-rust, anti-corrosion, and not easy to peel off after painting, especially in corrosive environments. Suitable for food processing industry, biogas fermentation tank, salted area, agriculture and fishery industry and other marine industries that require excellent anti-rust performance.
The screw used to connect the flange and the coupling body is a high-rigidity 12.9 screw with a tensile strength of 1200Mpa and a gasket with a hardness of 300HV.
The screws are pre-coated with anti-loosening screw glue or matched with medium-strength screw glue to prevent the screws from loosening. When you need to replace the coupling, you only need to loosen the coupling screw, without disassembling the metal flange parts, and the operation is simple.

4.Coupling series
AIOFLEX flexible coupling series has 7 standard sizes.
Each size provides 3 types of variations.
The torque range is from 100Nm-20000Nm.
The aperture of the flange group can be processed to cover all the shaft centers, and it can be operated independently during installation, and it is not necessary to remove the flange during repair and only replace the coupling body.
AFC 100 D
Flywheels, pulleys or gears on existing equipment can be retrofitted with unilateral couplings, which is very beneficial for future product life and maintenance.
AFC 100 S
This type of coupling is mainly connected to engine flywheel shaft equipment, such as generators and gearboxes. The flywheel is standardized and conforms to the SAE 620 J standard.
AFC 100 F
AIOFLEX flanges all have pilot holes. You can adjust the size of the aperture to your specific needs, and match the key and keyway to connect with the object. The keyway can be processed according to DIN6885-1 or ASME B17.1 standards.

6.Principles of fiber reinforcement
AIOFLEX coupling's unique internal high-strength and high-tension fiber coil design allows mechanical torque to be transmitted between the fiber coils and offset all vibrations.
Rubber provides fiber coil protection and interrupts noise transmission. The overall effect of shaft position correction, torque transmission, anti-vibration, noise blocking, and electrical insulation.
Advantages of fiber reinforced coupling
- The unique fiber design allows high-power torsion to be transmitted in the fiber.
- Can withstand higher dynamic shock loads. (About five times that of TN).
- Commonly used in engines, internal combustion engines, generators, power plants, and power-related drive equipment.
- The anti-vibration capability can be used for vibration screening machines and vibration testing machines.
- The axle position correction capability is used for hydraulic pump systems, cement trucks, mixers, agricultural machinery, etc.
- When connected to the gearbox, it can be used in various fields such as vehicles, trains, marine ships, military equipment and so on.

8.Torque transmission description
The max torque
The maximum torque output (Max torque) refers to the maximum torque generated during the gear shift or acceleration or emergency braking during operation when the machine is started or stopped. It will be generated regularly or irregularly when the machine is running. The torque can be transmitted by the coupling.
The normal torque
The normal torque value is the standard torque output value set by the coupling. There is no problem with power transmission.
The maximum operating speed of the coupling in the working environment temperature range (-40∘C to 100∘C)
Maximum torque of coupling (Torque limit)
This value is 5 times the torque of the normal output. Generally speaking, the machine under normal operation will not produce this value, unless the machine fails, abnormal operation, the coupling is damaged, or the screw is broken. If this happens, replace the coupling body and all screws.
Vibrating torque
If the output of the machine is a continuous torque output, you should use this as the basis for the data to select a suitable coupling.
