REX ® THOMAS ® FLEXIBLE DISC COUPLINGS
CLOSE-COUPLED SERIES 54RDG
Series 54RDG couplings are reduced diameter gear and grid replacement couplings. Applications include any situation where the overall
shaft to shaft spacing is minimal. The center member of the 54RDG is split axially, which permits maintenance of the couplings without moving
the hubs or the connected equipment. Center member is piloted into the adapter providing high speed potential at high torque density.
Construction
Hubs and Center members: Carbon Steel
Bolts: Alloy Steel
Disc Packs: Stainless Steel
Coatings Available: Black Oxide, Zinc, Cadmium
When Specified, Series 54RDG couplings meet all requirements of API 610, or API
671. If application requires API specification, please consult Rexnord Industries, Inc.
Other materials such as Tomaloy, Monel and
Inconel are available; please consult Rexnord
Industries, Inc.
Misalignment: 1 /3° per disc pack

and WR2 with standard length hubs, maximum bore and standard "C".
➂ Extended hub length is designed longer in order to include a counter-bore for the threaded extension on a tapered shaft .
➃ Large hub length. For sizes not shown, consult Rexnord .
➄ All Thomas disc couplings meet NEMA frame sleeve bearing motor specifications without modifications or the addition of end-float restricting devices .
