Overview
The Dodge 010602 PX60 Para-Flex Taper-Lock flange assembly is a high-performance elastomeric coupling component engineered for demanding industrial shaft connection applications. This Type H flange features a 1-7/16 in bore diameter, 6-1/2 in outside diameter, and 1 in length through bore, with sintered steel construction for durability and precision. The assembly integrates with standard 1310 Taper-Lock bushings for tool-free installation and removal, making it ideal for frequent maintenance cycles.
Key Features
- Patented cording design transmits torque while absorbing shock loads and providing wear indication
- Type H reversible mounting supports both H and F style flange configurations on PX50–PX120 coupling sizes
- Sintered steel flanges deliver superior strength and dimensional accuracy
- Taper-Lock bushing compatibility enables quick assembly, disassembly, and bushing replacement without special tools
- Pre-assembled configuration reduces installation time and assembly errors
