Propeller Shaft Couplings – PROPFLEX T Torque range 2.80 kNm – 53.20 kNm Double-cardanic displacement coupling with thrust mounts For structure-borne sound insulation and for compensation of high radial and angular transmission movements. Absorbs the propeller thrust and offloads the transmission. Applications Elastically set-up drives with the highest level of comfort characteristics The PROPFLEX coupling […]
Vulkan MESLU
Torque range 8.0 kNm – 315.0 kNm Applications Specific data on request only The VULKAN MESLU clutch is a pneumatically operated double-cone friction clutch for dry running. It is backlash-free, possesses no rubbing surfaces in its internal construction that could be subject to wear and tear, and thanks to the external friction sheaths, features high […]
Vulkan Propflex N
Torque range 2.80 kNm – 53.20 kNm Double-cardanic displacement coupling For structure-borne sound insulation and for compensation of radial, axial and angular transmission movements. Applications Elastically set-up drives with the highest level of comfort characteristics The PROPFLEX coupling is a flexible displacement coupling for different application areas. Torque transmission with simultaneous compensation of displacement occurs […]
Vulkan VULKARDAN L highly flexible coupling
Torque range 0.16 kNm – 12.5 kNm Applications Flexibly mounted engines When the driven machine is not in line with the prime mover or when long distances have to be bridged, cardan shafts are used. With a diesel engine as the prime mover, a highly flexible coupling will be required for shifting resonances and damping […]
Vulkan on COVID-19
Currently, there is one dominant topic worldwide: COVID-19, which is of course also important for VULKAN at the moment. Vulkan states they plan to do everything to minimize the virus spread to protect our global community. They have already implemented measures to minimize the risk of infection. Their crisis team meets daily and advises on […]
Vulkan components in all-electric, medium-sized ferry application
ÆrØ is an island off the coast of Southern Denmark. Since the 70s and 80s, the island has been a pioneer community for renewable energy projects. The mayors have obligated themselves to make ÆrØ CO2-neutral before the year 2025. Windpower plants, district heating based on solar thermal energy, and photovoltaic power cover most of the […]
Vulkan couplings and the largest suction dredger in Asia
In 2016, Inai Kenanga, with 33,356 m3 hopper volume the largest suction dredger in Asia and the third largest worldwide, was put into operation. At that time VULKAN supplied a whole range of couplings for the drive train and the sand pump gearboxes, including RATO R and S couplings for the propeller drive and the […]
Vulkan RATO S for flexibly mounted engines and rigidly mounted engines
The highly-flexible RATO S coupling is a torsionally flexible rubber coupling that compensates radial, axial and angular shaft displacements of the connected machinery. The torque is transmitted by elements loaded in shear. The different torsional stiffnesses and damping factors available provide the possibility to satisfactorily tune the torsional vibration behaviour of the drive system. The […]
VULKAN awarded Platinum Level SQEP from Caterpillar
American VULKAN Corporation (AVC) attained the Caterpillar Inc. Supplier Quality Excellence Process (SQEP) platinum-level certification. Certification levels include bronze, silver, gold and platinum and reflect an order of increasing difficulty. AVC is the only platinum-level supplier for Caterpillar globally. Suppliers are certified through SQEP by meeting or exceeding Caterpillar’s stringent supplier performance standards, such as […]
