BIPEX-S couplings each comprise two hub parts connected by a cam ring made of polyurethane (PU).

The couplings can be axially plugged in during assembly. The hubs can be coupled to the shafts by many different methods including set screws, key joint, slotted clamping hubs, half-shell hubs, clamping hubs or expanding hubs.

BIPEX-S couplings are positive-locking and torsionally flexible thanks to the polyurethane cam ring. Misalignment between the connected shafts deforms the cam ring.

Coupling materials:

Hubs:
Up to size 38 aluminum
Sizes 42 and 48 steel

Cam ring:
PU 80 ShoreA -50 °C to +80 °C
PU 92 ShoreA -40 °C to +90 °C
PU 98 ShoreA -30 °C to +90 °C
(standard ring)
PU 64 ShoreD -50 °C to +120 °C

The coupling types can be combined from the available range of hub versions and different elastomer grades.

Hub versions:

N: Hub with set screw
G: Slotted clamping hub
C: Slotted clamping hub, compakt
H: Half-shell clamping hub
K: Clamping hub with external taper
S: Expanding hub

Versions N, G, C and H are optionally available with keyway.
