GL Series represents our high-performance solution for maintenance-free power transmission
These Lamellar Couplings are designed to compensate for angular and axial misalignments through the flexibility of stainless steel disc packs.
Cardan and Transmission Lamellar Couplings (GL Series) are engineered for industrial drives requiring high torsional stiffness and zero maintenance. The torque is transmitted through a pack of stainless steel discs (lamellae) that allow for misalignment compensation:
- Standard Single Disc Pack (Type GL-S)
- Double Disc Pack with Spacer (Type GL-D)
- Backlash-free design
- High-speed rotation stability
- Maintenance-free execution
Technical Performance
DESIGN RANGE: Up to 130.000 Nm max transmittable torque and operating temperatures up to 280°C.
Materials & Construction
| Component | Manufacturing | Heat Treatment |
