INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS<br />
VULKAN Drive Tech provides a wide range of fl exible couplings,<br />
braking systems and resilient mounts, based engineering and<br />
know how applied into more than 20 different types of applications,<br />
within six different industrial markets segments.<br />
OIL & GAS – Onshore & offshore plants involve the<br />
large-scale use of compressors, blowers, pumps and fans within<br />
the processing chain of fl uids and gasses. Our torsional fl exible<br />
& torsional rigid couplings and brakes will preserve the best<br />
functionality of diesel engines, electric motors and turbines in<br />
the vast majority of working profi les and environments.<br />
MINING – Stackers, reclaimers, regenerative conveyors<br />
belt, mills and crushers are just a few examples of the heavy<br />
duty machinery that requires specifi c high speed & low speed<br />
couplings, service & emergency braking systems, backstops and<br />
resilient mounts. Our approach to such demanding applications is<br />
to deliver engineered tailor-made solutions.<br />
BULK MATERIAL HANDLING – Gear couplings,<br />
electromagnetic service brakes, hydraulic emergency brakes,<br />
hydraulic rail clamps for E.O.T. gantry cranes, torsional highly<br />
fl exible couplings and resilient mounts for construction machinery<br />
underline the wide product portfolio and engineering capacity of<br />
VULKAN Drive Tech.<br />
ENERGY – Power generation by means of wind turbines,<br />
hydro turbines and steam turbines, requires drive solutions that<br />
are capable of withstanding high dynamic torque load and high<br />
speed. VULKAN Drive Tech responds to such requirements with<br />
high-quality hydraulic brakes, composite materials and integrated<br />
electronic power controls.<br />
IRON & STEEL – Continuous ingot castings and hot<br />
& cold laminating machinery are typical examples of steelwork<br />
equipment where the drives are subjected to dust, dirt and high<br />
temperatures. Operational safety and reliability of the drive components<br />
and minimum service downtime are the main requirements<br />
that our pneumatic disc brakes, maintenance-free fl exible<br />
couplings and disc couplings must fulfi ll.<br />
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS – The unique skills and<br />
knowhow developed during more than 120 years of experience<br />
makes VULKAN Drive Tech a reliable partner for drive components<br />
that simply cannot be selected out of a catalogue. Test benches,<br />
railways, agricultural machinery and gantry cranes for aerospace<br />
equipment are just a few of the challenges that we deal with on a<br />
daily basis.

REQUIREMENTS<br />
2 Vulkan Drive Tech Drive Solutions for Compressors and Blowers
Large and powerful compressors with a high level of<br />
efficiency, long service life and a high degree of reliability are<br />
used in the oil and gas industry, chemical industry and in<br />
special industrial applications.<br />
In general, the requirements of the drive are met either by<br />
a powerful electric motor, which is connected with the compressor<br />
via a coupling or by a combustion or gas-powered<br />
engine, which is coupled to the compressor via a coupling and<br />
gearbox. This is independent of whether the compressor is a<br />
reciprocating one, a screw-type one or a rotary compressor. The<br />
most important functions of the coupling are: Minimisation of<br />
torsional vibrations, balancing of the offset between prime<br />
mover and the compressor and torque transmission.<br />
Complementary products such as resilient mounts are also<br />
used to minimise structural borne noise generated by<br />
the compressor or the prime mover and the transmission to<br />
the surrounding environment.<br />

SolutionS<br />
The main task of VULKAN Drive Tech into compressors app<br />
and torque from either high and low speed shafts, according to<br />
requirements of the different type of prime mover (electric mot<br />
and compressors. These requirements are met by the technica<br />
flexible and rigid couplings. The portfolio is then completed wi<br />
designed to minimise dynamic displacement and optimize the s<br />
We focus on the following three major key aspects:<br />
Efficiency<br />
Tailor-made solutions<br />
VULKAN Drive Tech supports the compressor<br />
system manufacturer with the determination<br />
of the characteristics of the flexible coupling<br />
by an in-house developed torsional<br />
vibration calculation tool. A mathematical<br />
model, which takes the stiffness and inertia<br />
of the individual construction elements into<br />
consideration, is created for the calculation<br />
of the torsional vibration. If desired by the<br />
customer, contact-less stress and vibration<br />
measurements are carried out for different<br />
load cases after installing the coupling. In<br />
this manner, the actual vibration-specific<br />
characteristics of the system lie within the<br />
limits of the torsional vibration calculation<br />
and trouble-free operation.<br />
VULKAN Drive Tech offers a comprehensive<br />
range of products for compressors intended<br />
for use with liquid and gaseous media. The<br />
portfolio includes flexible, highly flexible,<br />
rigid couplings and resilient mounts. For<br />
use in explosion-prone environments, the<br />
couplings may be designed based on the<br />
area of application and even in accordance<br />
with the ATEX guidelines. Custom solutions<br />
to fit specific requirements such as: built<br />
in length of the coupling, shaft couplings<br />
dimensions, etc. are available on demand.<br />

package to absorb the axial displacements and the connecting<br />
parts to the drive and driven machinery. The torsional flexible<br />
element can be arranged in single or multiple rows respectively,<br />
in order to be tuned to the application’s requirements in<br />
terms of torsional vibration isolation. The flexible elements are<br />
formed by several segments; which guarantee easy installation<br />
and maintenance of the coupling.<br />

coupling variant particularly for rigidly installed compressor<br />
drives. The three available stiffnesses enable a good tuning<br />
of the system with respect to both the transient and steady-state<br />
torsional vibration response.<br />
Typical to the tradition of VULKAN Couplings, a backlash-free torque<br />
transmission is achieved. When required a torque limiting device<br />
can be fitted. The flexibility of the RATO DS coupling in the radial,<br />
axial and angular directions provide favourable compensation for<br />
the shaft misalignments.<br />

The main parts of the VULASTIK L coupling are the hub and flanged<br />
casing, in between which the disc-shaped element is arranged.<br />
This disc element is connected by vulcanisation at its inner<br />
radius, while the outer radius is connected to the flanged casing<br />
by a plug-in toothing, which provides the axial plug-in feature and<br />
compensation of shaft displacements.<br />
The VULASTIK L is a highly torsional flexible coupling that compensates<br />
axial, angular and radial misalignments of the connected<br />
machinery. The permissible angular coupling displacement<br />
is 0.5°. The VULASTIK L elements are made from heat-resistant<br />
rubber for an operating permissible ambient temperatures range<br />
of -45°C to +90°C. Alternative elements in silicone are available<br />
for operating ambient temperatures ranging from -45°C to +120°C.<br />

FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS<br />
PINOFLEX<br />
The PINOFLEX is composed of one hub (or flange) where the elastic<br />
pins are fixed and another hub where specific seats accommodate<br />
the elastic pins. The torque transmission is made through<br />
the elastic pins, which guarantees torsional vibration isolation and<br />
axial, radial and angular misalignment capacity. The stiffness of<br />
the pins has also been designed to compensate shock loads. The<br />
PINOFLEX design is very compact and particularly suitable for all<br />
machinery that requires short installation length. Furthermore, it<br />
is possible to remove the single pins without disassembling the<br />
coupling from the connected machinery.<br />

and synchronous torque transmission requirements. It is a valid<br />
alternative to torsional flexible couplings in cases where environments<br />
are harsh on elastomers. Furthermore, DISCFLEX can withstand<br />
operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 280°C. Finally,<br />
the DISCFLEX coupling complies with the API 610 Standard.<br />
The DISCFLEX coupling is characterised by high torsional stiffness<br />
without backlash, high rotational speed capacity, high power<br />
transmission within limited dimensions and weight, and low axial<br />
and radial reaction forces. Furthermore, it is suitable for extreme<br />
and hostile environments. The flexible elements of the coupling<br />
are composed with stainless steel AISI 301 membranes packages,<br />
which are engineered by state-of-the-art FEM Analysis to guarantee<br />
the highest rate of misalignment capacity and torque transmission<br />
within the smallest dimensions and minimum reaction<br />
forces. Its modular design allows a wide range of customisations,<br />
which include and are not limited to the use of GFRP spools to<br />
guarantee the electrical isolation of the coupling itself. When the<br />
DISCFLEX is subjected to a nominal rotational speed over 3,800<br />
rpm then the balancing of the coupling is according to API 671<br />
