Overview
The Dodge 011110 PX100 Para-Flex elastomeric coupling element is a standard tire-style flexible coupling component engineered for harsh industrial power transmission applications. Constructed from natural rubber with reinforced textile cord, this non-lubricated element absorbs shock loads and accommodates shaft misalignment without restricting coupling life or requiring realignment of connected equipment.
Key Features
- Natural rubber compound — proven durability and flexibility in demanding industrial environments
- Patented torque-carrying cords — transmit power reliably while damping vibration and shock loads
- Split-end reinforcement — reduces element fatigue during shock loading and extends coupling life
- Wear indicator — visual inspection identifies when replacement is needed for preventive maintenance
- No lubrication required — maintains trouble-free operation and eliminates maintenance complexity
- Replaceable element design — can be changed without disturbing coupled equipment or requiring realignment
