Description

Lightweight aluminum version of the industry standard shaft coupling
Interchangeable with L and SS line of hubs (except AL150)
Corrosion resistant (finished bores passivated for additional protection)
Accommodates for angular and parallel shaft misalignment
Fail-safe – will still perform if elastomer “spider” fails
No metal to metal contact
Resistant to oil, dirt, sand, moisture, and grease

Spider Performance Data (Standard Catalog)

SOX (NBR) Rubber (Standard Insert) – Nitrile Butadiene (Buna N) Rubber is a flexible elastomer material that is oil resistant, resembles natural rubber in resilience and elasticity.

Urethane – Greater torque capability than NBR (1.5 times), provides less dampening effect, and operates in a smaller temperature range. Good resistance to oil and chemicals. Not recommended for cyclic or start/stop applications.

Hytrel® – Flexible elastomer designed for high torque and high temperature operations. Excellent resistance to oil and chemicals. Not recommended for cyclic or start/stop applications.

Bronze – Rigid, porous oil-impregnated metal insert exclusively for low speed (max 250 RPM) applications requiring high torque capabilities. Not affected by extreme temperatures, water, oil, or dirt.
