The PS27 Stromag OEM Drive Coupler is a precision-engineered flexible coupling used in industrial drive systems where vibration control, torque stability, and mechanical reliability are critical. Stromag couplers are widely trusted across compressor systems, generators, pumps, and heavy industrial equipment due to their robust construction and proven torsional damping performance.
This coupler connects rotating shafts between the prime mover and driven equipment, transmitting torque efficiently while absorbing mechanical shock and compensating for minor shaft misalignment. By isolating torsional vibration, the PS27 helps protect bearings, shafts, gearboxes, and connected components from premature wear and fatigue.
Designed for continuous operation, the PS27 Stromag coupler supports smooth, quiet performance in harsh industrial environments where load variation and vibration are common.

Functional Design and Performance
The PS27 Stromag Coupler utilizes a resilient elastomeric element combined with precision-machined metal components to create a torsionally flexible shaft connection. This configuration allows the coupling to act as a mechanical buffer, absorbing vibration and load fluctuations before they propagate through the drive system.
In compressor and generator applications, torsional oscillations can lead to bearing fatigue, shaft wear, and alignment drift. The elastomer element within the PS27 coupling reduces these forces, improving system stability and extending the service life of rotating components.
The coupling also compensates for minor installation tolerances and thermal expansion that naturally occur during operation, helping maintain proper alignment over time and reducing mechanical stress throughout the drive train.
Applications and Compatibility
The PS27 Stromag Drive Coupler is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and power transmission systems, including:
-
Rotary screw and piston air compressors
-
Engine-driven generators and alternators
-
Industrial pump and motor assemblies

Performance Advantages
The PS27 Stromag Coupler delivers stable, vibration-controlled torque transfer that improves reliability across the entire drive system. By isolating torsional vibration, it reduces mechanical noise, minimizes wear on bearings and shafts, and helps prevent costly downtime caused by premature component failure.
Compared to generic flexible couplers, OEM Stromag couplers are engineered with specific elastomer stiffness and internal geometry matched to industrial drive requirements. This ensures consistent damping characteristics and predictable performance under varying loads and operating speeds.
Using the correct OEM coupler helps preserve original equipment performance, alignment accuracy, and long-term operational efficiency in compressors, generators, and industrial machinery.
