The Autoflex Disc Coupling is designed to provide a highly reliable connection for rotating equipment. The
coupling requires no lubrication and thus is maintenance free. Properly installed, the coupling is designed to
provide infinite life.
Autoflex Advantages
Disc coupling construction provides optimum power and
misalignment capability
Cartridge transmission unit provides for easy assembly while
maintaining an inherent balance to AGMA class 9.
The Autoflex has an optional design to handle non-standard
DBSE using Factory assembled Guard Ring Packs which are
bolted to a standard spacer tube.
Discs are made from high strength 301 stainless steel.
Hubs have been optimized to provide a larger bore capacity.
All steel parts are phosphate coated.
GUARD RING
ANTIWINDAGE
ANTIFLY
Reduced windage configuration which also provides

an inherent fail-safe feature in the unlikely event of
disc failure.
Overload collar also provides an inherent fail-safe feature,
protecting the disc in the event of severe transient torque
overloads.
Coupling performance is enhanced using high grade
washers with an optimized radius profile.
OVERLOAD COLLAR
SPACER BOLTS
Higher grades of dynamic balance are capable through the

elimination of balance tools, gagging is achieved by locking
the guard ring to the spacer flange.
The Autoflex disc has been optimized using finite element

analysis. This has resulted in a waisted link design which
provides more flexibility and thus substantially lower
reaction forces on the bearing of the connected equipment.
The stresses through the new disc design are uniform and
are inherently low due to the reduced weight and inertia of
the pack. The discs have been designed to provide for
infinite life utilizing a safety factor of 2 times on the
Modified Goodman Diagram.

Disc Configurations
The standard Flexible Disc Pack is available in four, six and eight
link designs to meet various torque, speed and misalignment
conditions.
4 Link Disc Pack
Four link disc pack designs offer maximum misalignment and are
ideal for low torque applications in which the reaction forces on
the bearings must be kept to a minimum.
6 Link Disc Pack
Six link disc pack designs offer the optimum torque carrying
capacity and flexibility making it the preferred choice for the
standard Autoflex coupling product range.
8 Link Disc Pack
Eight link disc pack designs offer high torque carrying capacity
suited for motor or generator drives with high peak torque and
lower misalignment requirements.

(1) Determine the service factor (SF) from the application

and classification lists noted below.
(2) Calculate the maximum HP/100 rpm rating:
HP/100 rpm = (HP x 100 x SF) / rpm
Select the coupling which has a higher max rating.
Service Factor for the Steam Turbine &

Reciprocating Compressor: SF=2
HP/100 rpm = ( 100 HP x 100 x 2 ) / 1800
HP/100 rpm = 11.1
(3) Check the Limiting Conditions:

a Check the hub bore capacity is suitable
b Check the speed capability and specify whether
the coupling requires balancing.
c Check coupling dimensions such as DBSE,
Overall Length and Outside Diameter.

SERIES ES (DOUBLE FLEX - SPACER)
The Autoflex ES coupling has been designed for medium and high duty
applications. The coupling has been designed with the minimal number of
parts and therefore provides an economical solution for applications
requiring a spacer coupling.
The ES coupling is manufactured to tight tolerances ensuring a high

degree of dynamic balance. The coupling has been designed to meet
AGMA class 9 as manufactured and can be balanced to meet the AGMA
class 10 or API 610 8th Edition requirements.
The coupling is offered with four, six and eight link discs. The four and six
link couplings have been optimized for medium duty application. The
eight-link design offers higher torque capacities within a given diameter.
The coupling consists of five parts, two hubs, two disc packs and one
spacer. The ES couplings use scalloped discs, which provides higher
flexibility and ensures lower reaction forces on the driving and driven
equipment. The six and eight-link coupling also utilizes overload collars
which protects it from high transient torques providing trouble free
operation.

SERIES AG (DOUBLE FLEX - DROP OUT SPACER)
The Autoflex AG is a drop out spacer style coupling designed to meet
API 610 8th Edition for industrial pump couplings. The coupling consists
of three parts, two shaft hubs and a factory pre-assembled transmission unit.
The transmission unit is piloted between the shaft providing excellent

balance characteristics. The AG has been designed to provide an AGMA
class 9 balance as manufactured. The coupling can be balanced up to an
AGMA 11 for high speed, sensitive applications. The fact that the coupling
does not require lubrication ensures that the balance will not degrade over
the life of the driving and driven equipment.
Unlike conventional disc couplings, the anti-fly guard is designed to extend

over the top of the disc pack. This features provides several benefits;
Reduces the Windage produced by the Disc Pack.
Acts as a coupling guard providing additional safety.
Increases the retaining strength over conventional couplings.
Eliminates the need for balancing tools (gag sleeves and bolts) and
therefore increases the accuracy of the dynamic balance of the coupling.
The AGS has been designed for very short DBSEs applications. The AG four
and six link couplings are used in medium duty application providing a
good combination of Torque carrying and misalignment capacity.
The AG eight-link coupling is used for high power applications.

SERIES CCA - CLOSE COUPLED AXIAL SPLIT
The Autoflex CCA is offered in both a six and eight link disc design.
The six link is suitable for light to medium duty applications and is often
used when replacing the Thomas DBZ.
The coupling can be installed with hubs reversed as shown offering the
maximum flexibility in DBSE selection. The coupling has been designed
to allow the user to replace disc packs without moving the driving or the
driven equipment. Simply remove the axial split spacer and remove the
disc pack from between the hub faces.
The CCA eight-link coupling has been designed for heavy-duty

applications and is often offered when replacing out gear or grid
style couplings.
The CCA has been designed to meet AGMA 8-balance classification.

Dynamic Balancing is offered which will increase the balance to an
AGMA class 9.
The Autoflex CCA is comprised of two coupling hubs, two guard rings,
two disc packs and one axial split spacer. The axial split spacer is piloted
to the guard ring to provide a good balance characteristic.
Refer to the Autoflex CCR for higher speed requirements.

SERIES CCR - CLOSE COUPLED RADIAL SPLIT
The Autoflex CCR is offered in both a six and eight link disc design.
The six-link design is suitable for medium duty high-speed applications.
The CCR eight-link coupling has been designed for heavy-duty highspeed applications and is often offered when replacing out high
performance gear couplings. This allows for easy conversion between
lubricated couplings to a non-lubricated, zero maintenance disc style
coupling.
The CCR has been designed to meet AGMA class 9 as manufactured and
can be balanced to meet the AGMA class 11 or API 610 8th edition
requirements.
The coupling can be installed with hubs reversed, offering the maximum
flexibility in DBSE selection. The coupling has been designed with
scalloped discs making one of the most flexible couplings available
today. In addition, the coupling comes with overload collars, which
protects the coupling from high peak loads.
The Autoflex CCR is comprised of two coupling hubs, two guard rings
and two disc packs. The radial split guard rings are piloted ensuring the
highest level of balance.
Refer to the Autoflex CCA for lower speed requirements.

SERIES SF (SINGLE FLEX)
The Autoflex SF coupling has been designed for medium and high duty
applications. The coupling has been specifically designed for three bearing
systems, which only require angular and axial misalignment capacity.
The coupling consists of three parts, two hubs and a disc pack.
The SF couplings use scalloped discs, which provide higher flexibility and
ensures lower reaction forces on the driving and driven equipment.
The coupling is offered with four, six and eight link discs. The four and six
link couplings have been optimized for medium duty application.
The eight-link design offers higher torque capacities within a given diameter.
The six and eight-link coupling also utilize overload collars to protect the
coupling from high transient torques.

SERIES CT - COOLING TOWER COUPLINGS
The Autoflex CT has been designed specifically for cooling tower drives
with very long shaft separations. The drive shaft is made from a corrosion
resistant, lightweight composite fiber material. Composite fiber has been
proven to provide the optimum combination of stiffness in a lightweight
package.
The CT coupling can also be supplied with optional bolted on cartridges.

The major advantage of the bolted cartridge design is, the easy of repair
and replacement and the rationalization of spares.
Two cartridge packs can spare a number of couplings.
The coupling can be supplied in two styles,

SERIES PMC - PAPER MACHINE COUPLING
The Autoflex PMC coupling has been designed as a non-lubricated,
maintenance free drop-in replacement for a standard AGMA floating shaft
gear coupling. The PMC flange has been designed to bolt up to the rigid
hubs using standard AGMA accessories.
Replacing the gear coupling with the PMC offers the following benefits,
Non lubricated, maintenance free coupling
Zero Backlash design
Superior balance characteristics which will not change over the life of
the equipment.
Overload collars provide protection against transient torques.

Scallop Discs offer higher flexibility and thus lower reaction forces on
the equipment
Superior performance in arduous environments.
The PMC is designed to fit on a floating shaft. In many situations, the
customer can modify their existing floating shafts to accommodate the
PMC coupling eliminating the cost of the shaft.
