(openPR) - The use of ST series safety couplings substantially reduces downtime in the aftermath of a machine crash, thereby increasing the availability and production performance of the equipment.

Designed for use in shredders, crushers, rolling mills, steel mills, conveyor equipment and extruders, the compact, simple, yet robust design of the coupling makes maintenance-free operation possible throughout its entire service life. In comparison to other couplings currently available on the market, an ST coupling possesses as little as 25% of the mass.

The fact that disengagement torque can be very easily adjusted is another advantage. This can be changed simply, without any aids (such as a datasheet for example), by virtue of the force range, marked on the individual actuation segments.

This safety coupling can reliably limit torque up to values of 160 000 Nm, with an available shaft diameter range of 40 - 290 mm.

The ST1 series was developed for inline mounting to cardan shafts, as well as for indirect drives with consideration for belt or chain tension on the shaft. Model ST2 (vibration-damping version) and ST3 (torsion resistant version) are available for direct drive applications and involve integral flexible shaft couplings.
