1 COUPLING COMMENTS The No Maintenance, Easy Assembly, Resilient Coupling with High Angular Misalignment up to 0 degrees Center Assembly 70 Deg. Neoprene Rubber in Compression Grade 5 Bolts Steel Flanges Interference Lock Nuts Zinc Plated Surface Pilot Fit Steel Bushings The MORFLEX coupling, a proven winner, can compensate for high angular misalignment and is torsionally flexible. Misalignment working angles range from.5 to 0 degrees, making the MORFLEX a unique resilient coupling. 50 years of Reliable Field History The MORFLEX Coupling also has a Universal Driveshaft Series for greater shaft separations with a slipjoint construction, allowing universal action to accommodate angular or parallel misalignment. The shaft members are full spline connections, and slide freely under load. The MORFLEX Center Assembly with specially developed neoprene biscuits is responsible for the flexibility of the coupling. Preloading the biscuits in assembly permits them to allow considerable deflection, even with light loads. It also cushions shock loads and absorbs vibration. The Center Assembly design prolongs bearing life of equipment and is failsafe in operation. Applications for the MORFLEX coupling are abundant, from Small Engines to Fire Truck Pumps, including: Commercial Lawn and Garden Equipment Hydraulic Pumps & Compressors HVAC Units PTO Units Diesel Engine Drives Marine Drives 6

3 THE MORFLEX PRINCIPLE PRINCIPLE Specially developed, resilient, non-cold-flow neoprene biscuits are responsible for the flexibility of the MORFLEX coupling. Relative movement between shafts is confined to the controlled displacement of the neoprene. Preloading the biscuits in assembly permits them to allow considerable deflection, even with light load. The shape of the neoprene biscuit has been carefully designed for uniform stress and deflection an important operational advantage and one which contributes greatly to the life of the coupling. MORFLEX couplings can be used in ambient temperatures ranging from 0 F to 0 F. FIG. - PRELOADING OF THE NEOPRENE TRUNNION BLOCK A Diameter of biscuit in free state. B Diameter of biscuit after insertion into the housing showing the biscuit in a preloaded condition. This preloaded condition and the special shape of the biscuit accommodated any movement through the controlled internal displacement of the neoprene. FIG. - ANGULAR DEFLECTION A Centerline of biscuit before angular deflection. B Displacement of the neoprene, as indicated by arrows, compensates for angular misalignment of the connected shafts. FIG. - AXIAL DISPLACEMENT RESULTING FROM THRUST LOADS A Position of biscuit prior to imposition of thrust load. B Position of biscuit after thrust load has been imposed. The flow of the neoprene permits controlled end float. Thrust loading is transmitted smoothly and uniformly. FIG. 4 - TORSIONAL DEFLECTION RESULTING FROM TORQUE LOADS AND TORSIONAL VIBRATION A Centerline of biscuit before application of horizontal load. B Imposition of a torque load increases pressure in the direction of the load, and reduces pressure in the opposite direction. Because of the initial preloaded condition, the neoprene biscuit is still under compression throughout its volume even at maximum torque load. 65

6 CUSTOM DRIVES MORFLEX DRIVE SHAFTS MORFLEX COUPLING UNIVERSAL DRIVESHAFT SERIES T These driveshafts provide full universal action for applications requiring a cushion drive between units of remote or angular location. This combination has the structural advantages of the double MORFLEX Coupling, plus additional capacity for offset and parallel misalignment, which is directly proportional to the length of the floating shaft. Another distinct advantage over conventional driveshafts is that MORFLEX Coupling Driveshafts do not require maintenance or lubrication. They are commonly used with gas or diesel power plants where they contribute greatly toward smooth, quiet operation and long life. 6
