 Couplings REX® THOMAS® FLEXIBLE DISC COUPLINGS
CLOSE-COUPLED SERIES 54RDG
Series 54RDG couplings are reduced diameter gear and grid replacement couplings. Applications include any situation where the overall
shaft to shaft spacing is minimal. The center member of the 54RDG is split axially, which permits maintenance of the couplings without moving
the hubs or the connected equipment. Center member is piloted into the adapter providing high speed potential at high torque density.
Construction Other materials such as Tomaloy, Monel and
Hubs and Center members: Carbon Steel Inconel are available; please consult Rexnord
Bolts: Alloy Steel Industries, Inc.
Disc Packs: Stainless Steel Misalignment: 1/3° per disc pack
Coatings Available: Black Oxide, Zinc, Cadmium
When Specified, Series 54RDG couplings meet all requirements of API 610, or API **NEW DESIGN**

REX® THOMAS® FLEXIBLE DISC COUPLINGS Couplings

SPACER TYPE SERIES 71

Series 71 couplings are designed for applications requiring a spacer-type coupling such as ANSI, API and other process pumps. Series 71
couplings are most commonly applied on motor, turbine, and gear driven pumps, compressors and blowers.
Series 71 is a simple three piece design. Hubs are piloted fit to the factory assembled center member. The piloting provides repeatable
assembly of components for better dynamic balance characteristics. The center assembly simply “drops out” for fast installation or removal
without special tools. The disc design allows for low flexing forces and high overload capacity.
Construction Other materials such as Monel and Inconel are
Hubs and Center Assembly: Carbon Steel available; please consult Rexnord Industries, Inc.
Bolts: Alloy Steel Misalignment: 1/2° per disc pack for 4 and 6 bolt
Disc Packs: Stainless Steel for 4 & 6 bolt designs Stainless Steel Tpack™ for 8 bolt design designs, 1/3° per disc pack for 8 bolt design
Coatings Available: Black Oxide, Zinc, Cadmium
When Specified, Series 71 couplings meet all requirements of API 610, or API 671.
If application requires API specification, please consult Rexnord Industries, Inc.
Benefits
Three piece design features unitized center member assembly and two piloted hubs
Unique jacking bolt feature compresses coupling for easy installation and removal of
center section assembly.

FLYWHEEL ADAPTER TYPE CMR

CMR couplings are used in heavy duty slow to medium speed applications, where high starting torque, shock loads, torque reversals or
continuous alternating torque is present. The open lug type center member provides ample clearance for assembly while minimizing the
space required for coupling installation.
The CMR couplings are designed with a flywheel adapter plate which bolts directly to the flywheel of an engine or compressor. The adapters
are made to fit accurately into the recess in the flywheel, and external strains on the crankshaft resulting from the misalignment of the driven
equipment is minimized.
Construction Other materials such as Stainless Steel, Monel

FLOATING SHAFT TYPES SN, SF, SV

Floating shaft couplings are used to connect units which are relatively far apart. Such arrangements are particularly suited to transmit power
into areas where moisture, dust or corrosive conditions would adversely affect the driving machinery.
Floating shaft couplings’ operating speeds are dependent upon the length of span required. Refer to the speed/span table for speed
recommendations. In addition, special balancing may be required for high speed service or for extended shaft lengths. Consult Rexnord
Industries, Inc. for intended applications at speeds not covered in the table.
The SN, SF and SV type couplings are furnished with stainless steel disc packs unless otherwise specified.

Corrosion Resistant Materials

Types SN, SV and SF couplings are particularly suited to applications involving wet or
corrosive conditions, for this reason they are all furnished with 300 series stainless steel

Monel disc pack materials are available on request. As standard, these couplings are

REX® THOMAS® SINGLE-FLEXING DISC COUPLINGS Couplings

TYPE ST
ST couplings are designed for applications which require the coupling to support a substantial radial load while accommodating angular
misalignment. Typical installations include units where one shaft is fully supported in its own bearings, and the other shaft is single-bearing
supported. The radial load is transmitted through the coupling to the inner bearing of the other shaft.
Belt drives can be designed to utilize this type of coupling to eliminate a jack shaft bearing and transfer radial loading directly to a machine
bearing. Such arrangements are economical and space saving. See the sketches below.

 Couplings REX® THOMAS® FLEXIBLE DISC COUPLINGS
HIGH PERFORMANCE THP
THP couplings are designed for use on high speed equipment where coupling size and weight must be kept to a minimum. Typically, these
couplings connect prime movers such as motors, steam and gas turbines, rotary engines and gas expanders, to centrifugal and rotary
compressors, generators, process and boiler feed pumps. Test stand and marine propulsion drives also benefit from this unique coupling
design.
The flexing elements are precision-stamped from a high strength 300 series stainless steel. This material has been used successfully for
many years in Thomas couplings manufactured for helicopter drive shaft applications. Special materials for hubs, spacers and/or flexing
elements are available to meet unique application requirements.
Construction Other materials such as, Monel and Inconel
Hubs and Center Member: Heat Treated 4140 and 4340 Alloy Steel are available; please consult Rexnord
Bolts: Aircraft quality Alloy Steel with twelve point wrenching pattern Industries, Inc.
Disc Packs: High Strength 300 Series Stainless Steel
Coatings Available: Black Oxide, Zinc, Cadmium, other coatings available per
customer specifications
System Analysis
A coupling is a critical component of any drive system. The basic coupling selection
criteria is used to determine the size and style only. It is recommended that the system
be analyzed for torsional and lateral stability using the specific coupling mass elastic
data. The coupling weight, inertia, lateral stiffness, and torsional stiffness are available
for this system analysis. It is the responsibility of the coupling user to assure the system,
with the coupling as a component, properly functions.

UNITIZED FLEXING ELEMENT

NOTE: A coupling is a critical component of any drive system. The basic coupling selection criteria is used to determine the size and
style only. It is recommended that the system be analyzed for torsional and lateral stability using the specific coupling mass elastic data.
The coupling weight, inertia, lateral stiffness, and torsional stiffness are available for this system analysis. It is the responsibility of the
coupling user to assure the system, with the coupling as a component, properly functions.
