When you’re dealing with large, heavy industrial loads, your system must be designed from top to bottom to withstand daily punishment. That means connecting components with rugged couplings manufactured to tolerate high-torque, high-horsepower situations – which is where Falk G couplings shine.
Falk’s Lifelign gear (G) couplings boast unparalleled strength, thanks in part to the naturally high torque density inherent in gear-type couplings. Not only can they withstand more torque than universal joints, but they feature such high torque ratings that engineers can often get away with using a smaller-sized G coupling for a given application. This allows more versatility when designing for limited-space applications that require large bores and high torque loads.
Falk G couplings are employed in a wide range of industries, as outlined below.
High-torque applications: The standard flanged sleeve G coupling is the go-to for most high-torque applications such as bulk handling systems, mixers, pumps, cranes, crushers and sugar mills.
Very high-torque applications: There’s also a larger flanged sleeve G coupling for the roughest high-torque jobs, such as those performed in mining operations, steel and metal mills and other large industrial plants within the paper, sugar rubber and cement industries.
High-speed, low-inertia applications: The continuous sleeve G coupling is commonly found on high-speed equipment with low inertia requirements, as well as for applications that require a low initial cost.
