 couplings

DANGER!

Every operation performed on the coupling, either with mounting or 

maintenance, must be carried out with the machine not connected 

to the power supply. Accidental contact with the rotating parts can 

cause serious injury to the operator. It is recommended to read these 

operating instructions to ensure safety.

STOP

•  Affix proper warning signs around the machine
•  Instruct the operator before giving permission to work on the coupling
•  Operate on the coupling and on the transmission in safe conditions
•  Make sure the machine power is disconnected before carrying out any operation
•  Do not touch any moving part of the machine and wait until it stops completely
•  Protect the coupling against accidental contact with protection devices

This evaluation was carried out in accordance with the provisions of the relevant laws, directives, standards mentioned below:

TRASCO

®

 couplings are a flexible and constant-velocity coupling that ensures maximum performance with same overall dimensions.

It is very compact and allows a safe transmission of motion between the motor and the driven machine, absorbing shocks and torsional 
vibrations. It also allows, through the elastic deformation of the elastic spider, to compensate for angular, radial and axial misalignments 
due to small variations in length of the shafts. The hub teeth and spider profiles are designed so as to obtain a uniform pressure 
distribution.
The elastic element is subject only to compression stress and does not induce any axial or radial stresses, providing the TRASCO

®

 

coupling with great load capacity and durability. The coupling can be assembled both horizontally and vertically, and it correctly tolerates 
load variations and reversals.
