Shaft Couplings |
The Industry's Most Flexible Steel
Shaft Couplings Featuring the Exclusive "Strut" Design!
 The
Ultraflexx shaft couplings are the newest innovation from Coupling
Corporation of America. Their unique "strut" design
offers the most flexibility and the lowest spring rates of any
coupling presently available. Its exceptionally light-weight design
does not compromise performance or reliability.
Since 1968, CCA has been making shaft couplings by focusing on the driving and driven machines, and then designing couplings to complement them. Because the UltraFlexx shaft couplings have the lowest spring rates in the industry, all coupled machines
benefit from longer life and outstanding performance.

UltraFlexx shaft couplings are a unique assembly of tension struts that transmit torque from the driver to the driven member. Typically, the driver hub connects to an outer ring which is connected through the flexible struts to a center member.

Unmatched Benefits of the UltraFlexx Shaft Couplings
Feature |
Value to User |
|
Multiple struts share the load |
Scratch on the strut will not destroy coupling |
|
High torque capability in small diameter package |
Easy replacement for other couplings, including gear couplings |
|
No lubrication |
Reduces maintenance cost |
|
Very low axial and angular spring rates |
Very low forces exerted on shafts, bearings, and seals so
they last longer |
|
Spigot fit – element to hub |
Repeatable assembly and no loose parts |
|
No loose parts |
Continual balance |
|
Dynamically balanced |
No coupling related vibrations |
|
Captured element |
In the unlikely event of a failure, the spacer element is piloted
inside the hub rings |
|
Easy hub adjustment for flange to flange spacing |
Faster installation and no hot work permits required |
