PH116 Para-Flex Flywheel Coupling

This PH116 Para-Flex Flywheel Coupling is a highly flexible, elastomeric “tire” style element known for its ability to accommodate large shaft misalignments and absorb shock loads. The PH116 designation refers to a specific size element, typically made from natural rubber, which connects a driven machine to the flywheel of an internal combustion engine. Because the element is split, workers can perform radial installation and removal without moving the connected equipment. Consequently, this size handles a significant rated rotational force for its class.

Product Quality and Function

Stark Industrial Products provides only high-quality drive couplings. We guarantee all of our drive couplings are Original Equipment Manufacturers’ (OEM) equipment. Therefore, we offer nothing but OEM unless we are matching up a discontinued item.

• The split, flexible tire element specifically engineers the coupling to accommodate high angular, parallel, and axial misalignment.
• Furthermore, the elastomeric material effectively dampens torsional vibration and absorbs high shock loads, protecting the engine and driven equipment.
• The design is maintenance-free, and it requires no lubrication.
• Workers can install or replace the element radially by simply loosening the clamping ring fasteners, which greatly reduces downtime and maintenance complexity.
• The coupling operates reliably across a wide spectrum of operational heat.

Industry Applications and Brands

Our couplings see wide use in drives for equipment across various demanding sectors.

• The Para-Flex flywheel coupling is widely used for heavy-duty applications; specifically, it connects diesel engines or other prime movers to various driven machinery.
• Typical applications include large-scale industrial pumps, blowers, compressors, cooling towers, and generator sets (GenSets).
• In addition, the element is a core component in the broader Para-Flex coupling family, which is renowned for being a reliable “problem solver” in systems with high misalignment concerns.
• Some of the leading equipment and heavy machinery brands we supply drive couplings for include Lovejoy, Dodge Industrial, and other major manufacturers of rotating power transmission equipment.
