The MULTI MONT OCTA flywheel coupling (short form: MMO) is designed specifically as a torsionally flexible drive coupling for units with internal combustion engines. It is used to dampen torsional vibrations and to compensate for misalignments. The series comprises 6 different sizes covering a nominal torque range from 340 Nm to 20 000 Nm.
MULTI MONT OCTA flange couplings give positive torque transmission with rubber elements under compression. These rubber elements can be supplied in different Shore hardnesses for optimizing the torsional vibration range. Any occurring torsional vibrations and peak torques are dampened and absorbed efficiently.
Overload protection
The manufacture of the coupling flange as a composite casting results in a positive connection between the steel plate flange and the cast-on aluminium coupling part, which acts as a rated break point. This disconnects the power transmission if the coupling is overloaded far beyond the permissible maximum torque. Thereby protecting important system components from possible damage.
