ARPEX ARP-6 series

Coupling can be used for potentially explosive environments in accordance with 94/9/EC.

Область применения

ARPEX series ARP-6 couplings have been specially developed for pump drives and specifically for centrifugal pump drives. Special care was taken to meet the requirements of API 610 and API 671 (API = American Petroleum Institute). Power is transmitted via close-fitting bolts and nuts from size 310-6 with conical screw connection and plate packs in hexagonal design. Torques of between 100 and 17000 Nm can be transmitted at a permitted angular misalignment of 0.7°. The closed flange shape and a compact construction permit high peripheral speeds and high speeds. The intermediate spacer can be fitted radially without moving the connected units.

Main areas of application for the ARP-6 series:

Centrifugal pumps
Boiler feed pumps
Propeller pumps
Wing pumps
Pipeline pumps
Turbo compressors
Screw compressors
Turbo blowers
Axial, radial blowers
Rotary-piston blowers
Fans

Дизайн

NAN: The design of an ARPEX NAN coupling of the ARP-6 series is shown in the following illustration. The plate packs are bolted alternately between the flanges of the coupling hubs and the intermediate spacer. Up to size 298-6 close-fitting bolts and from size 325-6 conical screw connections are used for fastening. The intermediate spacer is available from stock in various fixed lengths. Hubs are designed with threaded pull-off holes.

MCECM: The design of an ARPEX MCECM coupling of the ARP-6 series is shown in the following illustration. Bolted between two hubs is the CEC transmission unit, the preassembled plate packs of which are bolted alternately between flanges and intermediate spacer. Up to size 275-6 close-fitting bolts and from size 310-6 conical screw connections are used for fastening. The intermediate spacer is available from stock in various fixed lengths. Jumbo hubs for large bore diameters can be optionally used.

Особенности

ARPEX couplings of the ARP-6 series are outstanding for their application-optimized construction. The two types NAN and MCECM have been specially designed for drives with uniform to medium loads and at the same time meet the requirements of API 610. The type MCECM with preassembled CEC intermediate unit can also be optionally designed to API 671. A special catcher device serves to secure the intermediate spacer in the event of plate breakage. Their use in potentially explosive environments in accordance with Directive 94/9/EC is possible.

The permitted shaft misalignments ΔK_a, ΔK_rand ΔK_w are maximum values and must not occur at the same time (see following table). The permitted shaft misalignment ΔK_r applies to the shaft distance S specified in each case.

The values for torsional stiffness apply to the complete coupling. The torsional stiffness of the plate packs applies to the rated coupling torque T_KN. To determine the torsional stiffness for a specific operating point, e.g. for calculating torsional vibration, the manufacturer must be consulted.

T_Kmax permitted only five times per hour.
