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 […]
