Rexnord Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of high-quality, durable and reliable components for power transmission equipment companies. Suppliers in Texas and other American cities understand the importance of keeping Rexnord products on the shelf including Rexnord couplings. Connecting two or more shafts, these devices absorb any misalignment existing between the connected shafts. Among the latest models available is the Thomas SR 54RDG.
Thomas SR 54RDG
Rexnord produces four basic categories of shaft couplings. These include disc, fluid, gear and grid couplings. The Thomas SR 54RDG is a metal disc coupling. It has several features that make it popular in diverse industries. This model has:
* A reduced diameter
* Is close or high coupled
* Is flexible
* Features high power density
* Possesses a split piloted center member design
The design delivers high speed and possesses high torque capacity. At the same time, it is easy to service. Maintenance people do not have to move any connected equipment of hubs to perform the necessary equipment repair or check.
Rexnord couplings meet specific standards and specifications. The Thomas SR 54RDG meets American Petroleum Institute (API) 610. This is the standard fixed for centrifugal pumps by the API for use in such common Texas industries as petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas. Companies can also obtain a version that meets APR 671 specifications.
Applications
The ability to rise above such qualifications means the couplings are effective for use in various applications. These include, but are not restricted to the following:
* Pumps
* Compressors
* General purpose machinery
* Paper machines
Rexnord Couplings
While not all Texas distributors carry a full range of Rexnord couplings, most will have the Thomas SR 54RDG in stock. If not, they will have other models available. If, however, you are determined to employ this specific component model in your equipment, a good distributor or supplier can easily order it for you.
