1889<br />

1918<br />

1928<br />

The foundation of Maschinenfabrik Louis Schwarz<br />

in Dortmund.<br />

Merger with the company Heinrich Behrend resulted in the<br />

establishment of the Dortmunder VULKAN AG.<br />

1941<br />

1945<br />

1951<br />

Maschinenfabrik Hackforth & Co. in Wanne-Eickel<br />

took over production for VULKAN.<br />

The war brought an abrupt end to the successful<br />

process made by the company.<br />

VULKAN received the sole rights for the manufacture and<br />

world-wide distribution of a highly flexible coupling.

HISTORY<br />

VULKAN GROUP<br />

1967<br />

1978<br />

1988<br />

VULKAN was entrusted with the construction of the largest highly<br />

flexible couplings that had ever been built - the EZ 560 with a<br />

nominal torque of 981 kNm.<br />

The VULKAN Lokring GmbH & Co. KG was founded.<br />

Continuous growth led to further expansion. VULKAN<br />

purchased another 22.000 square metres in Herne-Crange.

ACOTEC – TORSIONAL VIBRATION ANALYSIS<br />

The starting point of every coupling design process at VULKAN Couplings is<br />

a comprehensive analysis of the torsional vibration characteristic of the drive<br />

train in ships from the engine to the propeller. The specialists in the TVC<br />

(Torsional Vibration Calculation) department calculate steady and transient<br />

operating states, taking into account the particular properties with regard to<br />

stiffness and damping of the elastomers used.

ACOTEC – VULCANIZATION<br />

VULKAN Couplings has the necessary technical expertise to identify,<br />

quantify and optimize all critical process parameters. The measurement of<br />

transfer moulding pressures and duration as well as temperature and<br />

pressure profiles in the vulcanization tool. This in conjunction with the<br />

programmable heating times and tempering curves ensure satisfactory<br />

vulcanization with reproducible quality for small and large elastomer<br />

components with volumes from 0.4 to 140 litres. To verify the process<br />

parameters and minimize development time beforehand, the vulcanization<br />

process is accompanied by filling simulations and heating time calculations.

ACOTEC – TEST CENTER<br />

VULKAN Couplings has a highly equipped test center with 15 test stations,<br />

all performance parameters and technical data. These include a rotation test<br />

station for speeds of up to 2,200 rpm, a test station with a maximum test<br />

torque of 5,000 kNm and a dynamic test station with an average static load<br />

of up to 315 kNm, onto which a dynamic oscillating torque of 120 kNm can<br />

be superimposed with a frequency of 22 Hz. Using a highly dynamic test<br />

station limit loads for couplings are established as a function of elastomer life<br />

and core temperature.

Torque range – 12,5 kNm to 800,0 kNm<br />

<strong>Applications</strong> – Flexibly mounted engines, rigidly mounted engines<br />

The highly-flexible RATO S coupling is a torsionally flexible rubber coupling<br />

that compensates radial, axial and angular shaft displacements of the<br />

connected machinery. The torque is transmitted by elements loaded in shear.<br />

The different torsional stiffnesses and damping factors available provide the<br />

possibility to satisfactorily tune the torsional vibration behaviour of the drive<br />

system.

<strong>Applications</strong> – Flexibly mounted engines, rigidly mounted engines<br />

The highly-flexible RATO S coupling is a torsionally flexible rubber coupling<br />

that compensates radial, axial and angular shaft displacements of the<br />

connected machinery. The torque is transmitted by elements loaded in shear.<br />

The different torsional stiffnesses and damping factors available provide the<br />

possibility to satisfactorily tune the torsional vibration behaviour of the drive<br />

system. The newly developed ACOTEC series products are characterized by<br />

improved performance in the essential technical data.

RATO R<br />

Torque range – 12.5 kNm to 270.0 kNm<br />

<strong>Applications</strong> – Flexibly mounted engines, rigidly mounted engines<br />

Complementary to the all-round RATO S coupling the highly flexible RATO R<br />

coupling has been specially designed for use in installations requiring a high<br />

level of torsional flexibility and misalignment capacity. Inherent features of<br />

the design include the high dynamic load capacity and good rotational<br />

dynamic properties due to the low rotating inertias. The area of application is<br />

primarily in high-speed main/PTO systems driven by a Diesel engine or<br />

electric motor.

MESLU l RATO<br />

Torque range – 8.0 kNm to 315.0 kNm<br />

<strong>Applications</strong> – Specific data on request only<br />

Technical Data MESLU – The VULKAN MESLU RATO clutch coupling<br />

combination is a pneumatically operated double-cone friction clutch for dry<br />

running. It is backlash-free, possesses no rubbing surfaces in its internal<br />

construction that could be subject to wear and tear, and thanks to the<br />

external friction sheaths, features high maximum shifting and good heat<br />

radiating capacity. The clutch produces no axial load, either when engaged<br />

or disengaged. Through the arrangement of the double-cone an automatic<br />

adjustment is afforded during gradual wear of the friction linings.

The VULKARDAN G coupling has been especially designed for modern<br />

auxiliary and main generator applications with SAE flywheels. The torque<br />

range for this coupling is between 5 and 25 kNm, which suits engines up to<br />

4300 kW. The design also compliments the requirements of free standing<br />

propulsion systems and allows efficient and time-saving assembly and<br />

disassembly of the elastomer. In addition, VULKAN Couplings offers<br />

VULKARDAN G product types for bell housing applications as well.

The VULASTIK L coupling is a torsionally flexible rubber coupling, that<br />

compensates axial, angular and, to a certain degree, radial displacement of<br />

the connected machines. Four rubber qualities and silicone are available in<br />

order to tune the coupling to the various system requirements. VULASTIK L<br />

couplings are available with one elastic element in standard design or with<br />

two elements acting in parallel in Dual design. The main parts of the<br />

INTEGRAL SHAFT SUPPORT<br />

Torque range – 0.63 kNm to 20.0 kNm<br />

<strong>Applications</strong> – Cardan Shaft drives, flexibly mounted engines<br />

In addition to the cardan shaft series coupling program VULKAN has<br />

developed a bellhousing with an integral bearing. This design fitts in<br />

installations where the cardan shaft has a large angle of inclination. The<br />

resulting lateral and axial reaction forces from the cardan shaft are supported<br />

by the bell-housing so reducing the engine crankshaft loading.

VULKARDAN L+P<br />

Torque range – 0.16 kNm to 12.5 kNm<br />

<strong>Applications</strong> – Flexibly mounted engines<br />

When the driven machine is not in line with the prime mover or when long<br />

distances have to be bridged, cardan shafts are used. With a diesel engine as<br />

the prime mover, a highly flexible coupling will be required for shifting<br />

resonances and damping of torsional vibration. This coupling protects the<br />

cardan shaft and the driven machinery from inadmissible vibratory loads. The<br />

highly flexible VULKARDAN L+P couplings have been specifically developed for<br />

application in conjunction with cardan shafts.

<strong>Applications</strong> – Bell-housing installation<br />

Increased demands on drive systems require special concepts in highly<br />

flexible couplings. This demands include low idle-running speeds and silent<br />

operation of gearboxes in lower speed ranges. To meet this need, VULKAN<br />

has developed a multi-stage coupling with progressive stiffness<br />

characteristics. The TORFLEX coupling is exclusively intended for<br />

installation in bellhousings and can be used where the gearbox input shaft<br />

has an external spline or oilpressfit.
