HercuFlex® Continuous Sleeve Style (CX)
The HercuFlex coupling family has expanded to include the continuous sleeve gear coupling. Utilizing the same industry leading design expertise as seen in the FX style, Lovejoy has incorporated multiple innovations to yield previously unseen bore and torque capacity in the Continuous Sleeve gear coupling segment.
- Unequaled bore and torque capacity
- 1.5° of misalignment per gear mesh
- Improved fastener corrosion resistance
- Advanced seal design intensifying contamination resistance
