KTR as a specialist for couplings pays special attention to the demands and special requirements of the market of drive technology by permanently extending the production programme. In the range of backlash-free shaft couplings ROTEX® GS light is one of these extensions of the programme. The ROTEX® GS light clamping ring hub differs from the previous design mainly since it is fully made from aluminium. In this way the weight of ROTEX® GS light is considerably reduced and its mass moments of inertia are lower than those of the well-known design comprising a steel ring by 2/3.

The torsionally flexible ROTEX® jaw coupling has proven its worth on numerous applications for more than forty years. Now KTR has an innovation for the large ROTEX® coupling: The patented standard ROTEX® DZ does not have the well-known star-shaped elastomer spider, but the elastomer spider is rather divided up into individual segments with two teeth each.

• KTR Couplings shows its teeth with the launch of its newest product GEAREX! The compact and powerful all steel gear coupling made its world debut in Germany at the Hannover Fair held in April making it the latest addition to the KTR catalogue of Power Transmission products. Established over sixty years ago and now the world’s leading showcase for industrial technology, the Hannover Fair provided the perfect stage on which to set things in motion with the new GEAREX coupling.
• GEAREX is a double-cardanic flexible shaft gear coupling with a compact design suited for a long service life and high degree of operating safety. Its high torques and overall small dimensions make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications such as pump drives, compressors, use in the steel mill sector, and much more. ATEX approval and compliance with AGMA standards further expands the suitability of GEAREX by allowing it to meet all the necessary requirements involved in working within hazardous environments.
• Another key design feature of GEAREX is its crowned gear spines. This feature, combined with permanent grease lubrication, produces a better friction ratio and minimal amount of wear when dealing with axial, radial and angular shaft displacements.
• Numerous coupling sizes and a torque transmission capability ranging up to 135,000 Nm on shafts with a diameter as great as 276mm means there is a coupling for every size of job.
• KTR Couplings has been eagerly anticipating the launch of GEAREX and the opportunity to supply yet another quality product to its many valued customers throughout the UK.
