Market Launch of the VULASTIK L X50

The VULASTIK L series is a success story for VULKAN in the marine and industrial market. In order to meet market requirements for higher torque transmission and power loss, VULKAN has added an additional product to the VULASTIK L portfolio. The new design of the element with an additional integrated, vulcanized ring increases the torque transmission of the coupling by up to 50 percent. The new tooth geometry of the casing and element enables a significant increase in service life due to lower material stresses.

The VULASTIK L X50 is designed for the torque range from 33.5 to 39.5 kNm for marine applications and from 46.9 to 55.4 kNm for industrial applications and is available in the three stiffness levels 6, 8 and A. The new VULKAN coupling is the optimum solution for gensets, pod drives, pump drives and all applications where maximum torque transmission is required. 

The following product advantages are characteristic:

  • Upward expansion of the portfolio
  • Highest power loss value on the market
  • Nominal torque increase of approx. 50%
  • Optimized tooth geometry for better durability
  • 3 stiffness levels enable optimal torsional vibration tuning
  • Easy assembly
  • 1:1 interchangeability with competitor products possible

“With the launch of the VULASTIK L X50, VULKAN has reached another milestone in the expansion of its own product portfolio in the marine and industrial sectors. With its optimized design while retaining the proven operating principle of the VULASTIK L, the coupling is the leading product on the market in terms of permissible power loss,” says Matthias Bunk, Product Manager of the VULASTIK L X50.
