Euroflex Disc Couplings are designed by engineers who have been in the Disc Coupling business since its very early days, including the developer of the original profiled disc coupling.
Over the last 40 years the design criteria for Flexible Disc Couplings have been, and are still being, continually improved to take account of modern analysis tools, materials, etc.
The results of this are Euroflex Couplings that ensure:
- Minimal size & mass for a given torque rating.
- High misalignment capacity
- Extreme reliability and long life with low maintenance costs.

The Euroflex Disc Coupling offers the following advantages:
- NO LUBRICATION & ZERO MAINTENANCE COSTS - The Euroflex coupling is a dry coupling not requiring any lubrication. The coupling also has no relative moving parts and maintenance is reduced to a periodic visual inspection, during any convenient shut down.
- DESIGNS TO SUIT INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS - Euroflex design philosophy is to examine the requirements of our customers and offer designs to best suit the application. This philosophy, in conjunction with our specialist machining capability, means you get the most suitable and commercially attractive unit, not just the nearest fit!
- HIGH TORQUE / SPEED CAPACITY WITH LOW MASS - Due to the unique Euroflex approach to design we can offer couplings to meet all torque and speed requirements. By using light and high strength alloys for components even lower mass can be achieved.
- GOOD DYNAMIC BALANCE - By ensuring excellent accuracy in manufacture residual unbalance is kept to a minimum. All couplings can be dynamically balanced to international standards as required.
- TORSIONAL RIGIDITY - Euroflex couplings are essentially torsionally rigid with zero backlash although adjustment to stiffness can usually be made at design stage to suit the requirements of any torsional analysis.
- MISALIGNMENT CAPABILITY - Euroflex couplings offer the capability to accept significant angular, radial & axial misalignment with no sacrifice of operating performance.
- EXTREME TEMPERATURE & HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT OPERATION - The absence of lubrication and options for use of special materials make the Euroflex coupling suitable for operation in chemically adverse and extremely low or high temperature environments.
- COMPLIANCE TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS - Euroflex couplings conform to most International Standards including API 671 and ISO 10441.
- EMERGENCY DRIVE FEATURES - All Euroflex couplings have inbuilt emergency drive features to ensure continued, short term, torque transmission in the event of a flexible disc failure due to misuse.
- SPARK FREE - All Euroflex couplings can be supplied for operation in potentially 'explosive environments'.
- ELECTRICAL INSULATION - Euroflex couplings can be built to incorporate insulation to prevent the flow of eddy currents between machines.
- TORQUE LIMITATION / OVERLOAD PROTECTION - Euroflex couplings can incorporate overload protection by designing in a 'shear system' or incorporating any of many alternatives available on the market.
- TORQUE MEASUREMENT - The Euroflex coupling design can be made to suit many available Torque Measuring systems.
