Market Launch of the VULKARDAN F35 and F42

The VULKARDAN F is the further development of the VULKARDAN E, which has been established for many years, and complements highly flexible VULKAN couplings below the RATO R torque range. The highly flexible coupling, which is used in freely installed systems and flexibly installed systems for main drives, auxiliary drives and power generation, is now also available in sizes F35 and F42. The F35/42 follow the same design principles as the other VULKARDAN F couplings, but are significantly less rigid than their VULKARDAN E counterparts.

Thus, the VULKARDAN F35 and F42 are - together with their predecessor VULKARDAN E K40 - currently the softest couplings in their class on the market and specially designed to avoid gearbox rattling noise.

The following product advantages are characteristic:

  • Compact and short design for the smallest possible space requirements and easy handling. VULKARDAN F rubber and silicone couplings achieve effective vibration protection and high displacement capability, which guarantees the protection of connected machinery and therefore the highest system availability
  • Low weight for the protection of engine bearings and reduction of service cost
  • Optional tuning mass used for a subsequent fine-tuning and achievement of the highest possible comfort
  • Due to the high permanent power loss, VULKARDAN F highly flexible couplings are suitable for all propulsion and generator applications
  • For high performing transmissions: Highest torsional flexibility for an efficient avoidance of gearbox rattling sounds especially for size F35, F42 and F50

With the introduction of the VULKARDAN F35 and F42, the team has reached another significant milestone in expanding our product portfolio. “These new sizes now offer customers even more flexibility and performance” says Stefan Hörstker, Product Manager of the VULKARDAN F.”
