The ACT2.6WN Reich Arcusaflex Drive Coupler is part of the Arcusaflex series of torsionally flexible couplings engineered for demanding industrial power transmission systems. Arcusaflex couplings are widely used in compressor packages, generator sets, pump systems, and engine-driven equipment where controlled torsional flexibility and drivetrain protection are essential.
Unlike rigid couplings, the Arcusaflex design incorporates a high-strength elastomer element that absorbs torsional vibration and shock loads generated during startup, shutdown, and fluctuating operating conditions. The ACT2.6WN configuration is engineered to provide predictable torsional stiffness while maintaining smooth, backlash-controlled torque transmission.
This coupling is built for continuous-duty operation in environments where vibration isolation and drivetrain reliability directly impact equipment longevity.

Functional Design and Engineering Advantages
The ACT2.6WN Arcusaflex coupling is engineered around a segmented elastomer element mounted between precision-machined metal components. This configuration allows the coupling to:
-
Absorb torsional shock loads
-
Isolate engine or motor vibration
-
Protect gearboxes, air-ends, and pump assemblies
-
Maintain consistent torque delivery
In industrial applications such as rotary screw compressors or generator drives, torsional pulses can cause premature wear if not properly dampened. The elastomer compound used in the Arcusaflex series is formulated to provide both flexibility and structural stability, ensuring predictable damping performance under varying load conditions.
Because Arcusaflex couplings are designed for high reliability, they help reduce maintenance intervals and improve overall drivetrain efficiency.

Why Arcusaflex Couplings Are Preferred in Industrial Drives
Arcusaflex couplings are widely specified in compressor and engine-driven equipment because they combine high torque capacity with controlled torsional flexibility. This balance helps:
-
Reduce peak torque spikes
-
Improve drivetrain smoothness
-
Extend bearing and shaft life
-
Lower vibration levels
-
Increase overall system reliability
Improper coupling selection can lead to vibration, imbalance, and premature component failure. The ACT2.6WN is engineered to provide stable, repeatable torsional behavior in industrial environments.
