Disc pack coupling with high misalignment/high torque, max. torque capacity to 260000 Nm., bore capacity to 370 mm. Because of the high torque, bore and misalignment capacity of the Escodisc DMU coupling range, its high degree of natural inherent balance (AGMA class 9) up to size 85 and the fact that it meets the API 610 standards, this coupling is the ideal solution in a multitude of applications up to 260000 Nm (and larger upon request).
The DMU disc pack consists of an optimised number of discs or separated links (for sizes greater or equal to size 190) and has been factory assembled for easy field assembly. To eliminate fretting corrosion (which limits disc type coupling life), stainless steel fillers between the discs are used.
The Escodisc DMU coupling is also available in close coupled design (DMUCC). The high torque/bore capacity makes it an ideal maintenance free alternative for close coupled gear and elastic type couplings and can be modified in such a way that replacement of gear and elastic couplings is possible without modifications to an existing installation. Furthermore, thanks to the split spacer design, disconnection of the two machines and replacement of the disc pack is possible without axial displacement of the connected machines.
