Torsiflex couplings are specifically designed for the process pump and general industrial markets. Torsiflex is an all-metal disc coupling requiring no lubrication which incorporates a plug-in feature to allow installation and removal without disturbing the pump alignment.
Standard units are compliant with API 610 (American Petroleum Institute) and the more demanding API671 standard can be achieved.
In addition, the coupling is certified to meet ATEX 94/9/EC.
