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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
