ACH8UN Reich OEM Drive Coupler

The ACH8UN Reich Arcusaflex Drive Coupler is one of the largest standard couplings in the Reich ACH product line. Size class 8 is engineered for very high torque industrial applications including large stationary compressor systems, heavy-duty generator drives, and major industrial process equipment.

At the ACH8 size, the coupling handles torque levels associated with large industrial prime movers – engines and motors in the 400+ HP class. The elastomeric element at this scale is a substantial component providing significant torsional damping and misalignment compensation. Equipment running ACH8 couplers includes large stationary rotary screw compressors, mine ventilation systems, and heavy industrial drives.

Installation and alignment at the ACH8 size requires precision equipment and experienced technicians. The forces involved mean that even small misalignment errors have outsized consequences for coupling life and driveline component wear. Follow the manufacturer’s procedure exactly.
