VULKAN RATO-R Highly Flexible Couplings
VULKAN RATO-R highly flexible couplings cover a torque transmission range of 5.0-160.0 kNm. As a complement to the “all-round” RATO-S highly flexible coupling, the specially designed RATO-R is used in drive systems that require high torsional flexibility and strong misalignment compensation capability. With its low rotational inertia, the inherent features of the RATO-R coupling include high dynamic load capacity and excellent torsional vibration characteristics. Its main applications are in high-speed main propulsion systems and PTO systems driven by diesel engines or electric motors.
In the low to medium torque range, handling and installing the complete rubber element is relatively convenient, making the VULKAN RATO-R coupling a suitable option. By utilizing different torsional stiffness levels and single-row/multi-row rubber element configurations, the system’s torsional vibration characteristics can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
