Both centrifugal and reciprocating pumps and axialand centrifugal fans are predominantly used in the Oil &Gas industry to either transport liquid, semi liquid or solidgoods, or to control specific environment conditions such asexhaust, cooling or air ventilation.Prime movers for these applications might be electric motors,diesel engines or turbines, with each one setting specific requirementsin terms of power transmission components. Suchrequirements include variable speed, torsional vibrationstransmission, misalignment between the prime moverand the driven machinery, shock loads, extreme environmentalconditions, heavy duty profile etc.Couplings with elastic elements working “in shear” or “in compression”and torsional rigid couplings are mainly used to fulfillsuch requirements. The compact design with limited weightand inertias are extra requirements demanded of such productsrange. Furthermore, depending on the application, complianceto different international standards, such as ATEX or API,might be requested.Drive Solutions for Pumps and FansVulkan Drive Tech3
