The Baldor-Dodge Grid-Lign couplings have the following ATEX ratings:
T20 Covers
I M2 c 200°C
II 2 GD c 200˚C (T3)
Ambient temperature range of -30˚C to +50˚C
T10 Covers, T31 and T35 Spacers
II 2 GD c 200˚C (T3)
Ambient temperature range of -30˚C to +50˚C
Baldor-Dodge Grid-Lign couplings feature a high-strength, spring steel flexible tapered grid element capable of transmitting high torques while cushioning shock loads. Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, Baldor-Dodge Grid-Lign coupling’s versatile design is the ideal choice for everything from general process pumps to industrial fans and bulk material handling conveyors.
