Diaphragm Coupling
Simple and high-performance coupling for higher speed/larger capacity
This diaphragm coupling originally developed for helicopter drive shafts has been redesigned for general industrial purposes.
The diaphragm part employs a special profile processing (characterized by high torsional rigidity, flexible against bending/compression) to achieve high torque transmission.
This product has marked a maximum speed of 100,000 rpm and maximum torque of 2,700 kN-m in actual applications, and has gained good reputation in various fields as an ideal coupling (i.e. high speed/high load torque transmission, light weight, and no lubrication).
Characterized by the capacity to flexibly absorb misalignments (low bearing load), this diaphragm coupling has been increasingly recognized to be essential for turbines and compressors of ever higher speed/larger capacity, as well as other rotating equipment for commercial power generator, steelmaking machines, equipment for vessels, and aircraft, etc.
Feature
- Special diaphragm shape enables to transmit a large torque, low load on the bearing
- Simple structure ensures easy installation/removal, lightweight
- Optimum for high speeds (100,000 rpm max.)
- Having no movable/frictional parts, this coupling does not require lubrication nor have noise, vibration, backlash, change in dynamic balance.

Applicable ranges, performance data and figures can serve only as a guide for selection and therefore in actual use there will be some cases where general specifications cannot be applied due to unknown factors or constraints.
