Fail-safe device of ELPEX-S coupling
The following versions have already been implemented a number
of times:
• ELPEX-S coupling with brake drum, brake disk or flywheel
mass
• ELPEX-S coupling with axial backlash limiter
• ELPEX-S coupling with adapter
• ELPEX-S coupling with bearing for mounting a cardan shaft
• ELPEX-S coupling for engaging/disengaging during standstill
• ELPEX-S coupling as part of a coupling combination
• ELPEX-S coupling with fail-safe device
G_MD10_XX_00023
The ELPEX-S coupling can also be designed with a fail-safe device.
If the rubber disk element fails, the coupling can continue
operating in emergency mode for a short time. This option is frequently
required e.g. in the case of marine drives.

If the rubber disk element fails, cams transmit the torque from the
inner and outer parts of the fail-safe device.
In normal operation the torsion angle of the rubber disk element
is smaller than the gap between the cams, so there is no metalmetal
contact.
■ Function
The ELPEX-S coupling's transmission characteristic is determined
essentially by the rubber disk element. The torque is
transmitted positively between the rubber disk element and the
outer flange. The outer flange can be bolted to e.g. a diesel motor
or compressor flywheel.

The ELPEX-S coupling is especially suitable for rough operating
environments. An application factor lower than that in
catalog section 3 is therefore sufficient for all applications.
In the case of machines which excite torsional vibration,
Siemens urgently recommends carrying out a torsional vibration
calculation or measuring the coupling load occurring
in the drive.
