ARPEX couplings of the ARC-8 and ARC-10 series are outputand speed-optimized coupling solutions. Power transmission is by means of patented conical screw connections and plate packs of the octagonal and decagonal types. Torques of between 8.5 and 1450 kNm can be transmitted at a permitted angular misalignment of 0.2° to 0.4°. The closed flange shape and a compact construction permit high peripheral speeds and high speeds. On most types, the intermediate spacer can be radially fitted without moving the connected units.

Main areas of application for the ARC-8/-10 series:

• Paper-making machines
• Printing machines
• Compressors
• Fans and blowers
• Generators
• Presses
• Conveyors
• Crane systems
• Pumps
• Mills
• Rotary furnaces
• Stirrers
