The grid is the wearing member of a Steelflex coupling and it is a fraction of the complete coupling cost. Tapered grids are accessible through the quickly removable cover.
The replace-in-place design of the replacement grids allows them to be dropped in without the need to remove or reposition hubs or realign shafts as required with gear couplings and many elastomer designs.
When coupling-connected equipment must be moved, the job takes longer and costs a lot more.
Equipment Protection Against Shaft Misalignment
The grid is free to rock, pivot and float within the hub teeth. Generous misalignment capacity is provided without producing detrimental bearing side loads created by other couplings.
