Overview
The Dodge PX80 Taper-Lock Flange Assembly 010604 is a heavy-duty elastomeric flexible coupling engineered for industrial power transmission applications. Part of the Dodge Para-Flex coupling family, this Type H flange assembly provides reliable torque transmission while accommodating minor shaft misalignment. The taper-lock design ensures secure installation on standard motor shafts without requiring a separate bushing during initial setup, making it a practical choice for machinery upgrades and replacement installations.
