Bowex 42HE OEM Drive Coupler

The Bowex 42HE OEM Drive Coupler is a Bowex HE-series flexible coupling element for industrial compressor, pump, and power transmission applications. This coupling provides torsional damping and accommodates shaft misalignment in engine-driven and motor-driven equipment.

The Bowex HE series is designed for applications that require a highly elastic coupling element with significant angular and axial misalignment capacity. The 42HE size is specified on European-manufactured compressor skids, pump packages, and generator drive systems where the equipment designer selected Bowex for its specific torsional stiffness characteristics. The elastomeric element in the HE design provides progressive stiffness that increases with torque, giving the coupling a soft start characteristic that protects connected equipment during engagement.

Replace the 42HE element by separating the coupling hubs, removing the old elastomer, and inspecting hub teeth for wear. Install the new element with proper tooth engagement and verify the axial hub gap per the Bowex specification before startup.
