flexible couplings & engineering solutions
for rotating equipment continually for
over 80 years.
Bibby Turboflex first developed the
profiled disc coupling in 1958 and have
constantly produced units for the "High
Performance" market since that date.
Consequently we offer over 40 years of,
unbroken, design and manufacture of
high performance disc couplings with
tens of thousands of operational units.
The latest developed models are shown in
this brochure (HS range).
This extensive experience, developed on
providing solutions to critical applications,
has been utilised to produce a range of
"General Purpose" disc couplings (D & DJ
ranges). This offers a high quality but
cost-effective solution for more general
applications.
For long-span or mass critical applications,
we offer a derivation of the general
purpose DJ range of units with composite
tube (DJCFT range).
Our policy of continuous development
using the latest technology in both
hardware and software, combined with
our commitment to product excellence,
enables us to maintain our position at the
forefront of our market. In conjunction
with our unrivalled experience, this also
means that we are able to offer assured
disc coupling solutions to precisely meet
customer’s application requirements, with
virtually no limit in torque or speed.
An unrivalled knowledge of applications
enables us to assist in the selection of the
correct type of coupling design. Our own
parametric design software enables us to
produce couplings that offer the
optimum solution for any application.
Please feel free to contact us with details
of your specific requirements.
We operate an ISO9001 approved quality
system and all our products are produced
on modern, high accuracy, CNC
machinery.
Bibby Transmissions offer a
comprehensive range of couplings and
torque limiting systems, many of which
can be used in conjunction with the Bibby
Turboflex disc coupling. For details, please
contact our sales team.
Products with Pedigree
The operating principle of disc couplings
is well documented. If you require a
greater understanding please contact our
staff who will gladly explain in detail or
send appropriate literature.
If a formal training presentation is felt
advantageous, our experienced staff will
gladly visit your site with a view to
educating any audience on relevant
topics.
The general advantages of Bibby
Turboflex disc couplings are as follows.
Those advantages relating to specific
ranges are highlighted in the individual
sections of this brochure.
• No lubrication
Bibby Turboflex disc couplings require
no lubrication for operation. (The
presence of oil in the environment will
not, however, effect the operation of
the unit).
• Maintenance free
Since the disc couplings have no
wearing parts, they require no
maintenance.
The design of Bibby Turboflex disc
couplings is such that they will accept
significant levels of angular, radial &
axial misalignment without any loss of
operating performance (See Page 17).
• High torque to weight ratio
All Bibby Turboflex disc couplings offer
excellent "power to weight" ratios.
This is emphasised on the composite
(DJCFT) and high performance (HS)
ranges.
• Torsionally stiff
By the nature of their design, disc
couplings are torsionally stiff and
backlash free. Within certain limits, the
coupling designs can be adapted to
adjust the torsional stiffness to permit
tuning of systems.
• Suitable for hostile environments
A range of materials and a variety of
surface coatings can be incorporated in
the design of the couplings, making
them suitable for operation in adverse
environments.
All standard couplings can be installed
and the flexible elements (disc packs)
changed without disturbing the
adjacent machinery.
• Spark free
All ranges of couplings shown in this
brochure can be adapted to operate in
explosive environments where the
requirement is for ‘spark free’.
• API 610 / 671
All the couplings shown in this
brochure can be supplied to meet the
requirements of API610 & API671.
• Third party approval & inspection
Bibby Turboflex can supply couplings to
the rules of, and approval/inspection
by, third parties such as Lloyds, DNV,
ABS,etc.
