The new BoWex® FLE-PAC flange coupling for hydrostatic drives

The engineers at KTR have improved the world renowned BoWex® FLE-PA coupling for construction machinery with a hydrostatic drive. The new BoWex® FLE-PAC coupling is a torsionally rigid curved-tooth flange coupling made from a nylon disk with a steel flange. Hydrostatic applications in agricultural and construction machinery have an increasing demand for longer working lifetime between service intervals. Using standard materials design engineers are pushing these to the limit, but based on the successful design of the BoWex® FLE-PA and the combination of new materials a new coupling has been developed specifically for these increased demands. The polyamide part of the BoWex® FLE-PAC is reinforced with carbon which improves the abrasion wear, therefore extending the product’s lifetime. The nylon flange is manufactured as an integral part of the thin steel plate resulting in a very compact solution to the drive train. Another benefit of the design is the very short mounting length of the coupling. In addition to all the advantages of its design, the coupling is cost effective too. The combination of nylon disk and steel flange allows the coupling to be produced at a lower cost whilst axial plug-in enables easy assembly with no need for expensive additional alignment tools and adapter solutions. The new BoWex® FLE-PAC flange in combination with the proven curved teeth technology of BoWex® hubs offer new possibilities for agricultural and construction applications throughout the world.
