Market Launch of New MEGIFLEX B Sizes

With its modular design in combination with a pressure-loaded element, the MEGIFLEX B complements the VULKAN product portfolio, which covers the torque range of the VULKARDAN E and F and VULASTIK L small couplings. This versatile, highly flexible coupling is used in flexibly and rigidly mounted diesel main and auxiliary drives in the low power range in both, marine and industrial applications, and is now available in three additional sizes: J25 / J38 / J47.

This means that VULKAN can now offer the MEGIFLEX B in 19 sizes, each with 3 rubber stiffnesses, as a radially removable or axially inserted version. 
The rubber element contained in the MEGIFLEX B can meet a wide variety of requirements thanks to its torsionally soft, shock-absorbing behavior and its high radial, axial and angular misalignment capability. Typical applications are the main drive, especially with small pods, or auxiliary drives such as PTO/PTI with connected units. In industrial applications, the focus is on drives for stationary power generation with diesel or gas engines. 

The following product advantages are characteristic of the
MEGIFLEX B:

  • Thanks to its modular design, it can accommodate high radial, axial and angular displacement. As a torsionally flexible cardan shaft, the MEGIFLEX B can be used in various applications for maximum solution flexibility.

  • Effective vibration damping and a high displacement capacity guarantee the protection of connected machinery and thus a high availability of the drive shaft system

  • Easy installation as elements are either assembled axial bolted or plugged in

  • Noise dampening for highest comfort standards

  • 1-to-1 interchangeability, enabling retrofitting of competitor products.
     

More system expertise to open up new markets

“With the introduction of the new MEGIFLEX B sizes, VULKAN has reached another important milestone in the expansion of its own product portfolio,” says Stefan Hörstker, the responsible Product Manager. “With these new sizes, we are creating even more system expertise and can open up further markets with the additional variance,” he says.
