Renold Couplings" Hi-Tec range now available off the shelf
Renold Couplings’ Hi-Tec range of pilot bored RB rubber-in-compression couplings, are now available ‘off the shelf’. Used across a variety of production industries, the Hi-Tec RB coupling transmits torque using compressed rubber elements to dampen vibration and eliminate backlash. This results in the efficient operation of the drive train, while removing the risk of failure and the consequential risk to health and safety.
In addition to this, Renold's Hi-Tec RB couplings are ‘fit and forget’, requiring no lubrication – not only saving money on maintenance costs, but also in downtime and coupling failure.
Nigel MacVean, managing director of Renold Couplings, commented: “A reliable coupling is critical to any production line and coupling failure will prove costly in terms of downtime and loss of production. To have a high quality, replacement coupling available ‘off the shelf’ is a huge reassurance and Renold Couplings are delighted to be able to meet that demand.”
The Hi-Tec RB ranges are universal sizes and can replace couplings by most manufacturers. Alan Dean, business development director added” “This is also good news for anyone who has planned maintenance scheduled in over the Christmas shutdown, because we can have a coupling with you in time for this.”
