Overview
The Baldor Dodge Raptor 60HSB coupling hub (part number 015730) is a 3-3/8″ elastomeric coupling hub designed for flexible power transmission in industrial machinery. The Dodge Raptor elastomeric coupling features a patented split natural rubber element that significantly decreases total costs of ownership and extends driven equipment life. This hub is ideal for both close-coupled and spacer coupling applications where reliability and easy maintenance are critical.
Key Features
- Built for drop-in interchangeability with innovative design offering easier installation, reduced maintenance, and improved reliability in a wide range of new and existing applications
- Horizontally split element design that does not require locking shafts during installation, providing faster installation with fewer tools and eliminating shaft damage
- Reversible hubs accommodate a wide range of shaft gaps
- Setscrew locking mechanism with two setscrews at 65° angle for optimized radial and torsional holding power
- Manufactured under guidelines of the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU
- Designed as a drop-in interchange that meets or exceeds torque, bore and speed ratings for commonly used couplings like Rexnord Omega and TB Wood’s Dura-Flex
