<strong>Couplings</strong><br />
THE REX ® THOMAS ® ADVANTAGE<br />
M.T. Thomas revolutionized the coupling industry by inventing the flexible disc coupling in 1919. Today Thomas’<br />
engineers continue to improve the disc coupling through design innovation, modern materials and lean manufacturing<br />
processes. The Rex ® Thomas ® disc coupling is manufactured within a certified ISO 9001 quality system and is<br />
unsurpassed in its reputation for quality, reliability and easy maintenance features. The flexible disc packs are<br />
engineered for infinite life when applied within the published ratings and environmental guidelines. Our experience<br />
and dedication to conservative design standards assures maximum reliability on the most critical drive systems.<br />

DISC PACK<br />
Rex Thomas disc couplings are known for high reliability. The Tpack advanced technology flexible disc element<br />
makes maintenance easy and provides additional torque density. This high quality design functions with our current<br />
products and already installed Thomas disc couplings, performing in a variety of applications worldwide.<br />
Unitized pack for easy assembly and<br />
maintenance, alternating single headed<br />
bushings to provide full fastener bearing area<br />
and retrofitability into Series 52, AMR, CMR, and<br />
SN style coupling sizes 225-750.<br />
Series 54RDG increased torque density and speed potential for<br />
close coupled applications.<br />
