Overview
The Falk 1015G Seal End Flex Hub is a compact, high-torque coupling hub designed for demanding industrial shaft alignment applications. Manufactured by Rexnord (formerly Falk Corporation), this flexible coupling component transfers power between two shafts while accommodating misalignment, protecting equipment and extending service life. The sealed design minimizes lubricant leakage and environmental contamination, making it ideal for food processing, packaging, and enclosed machinery environments.
Key Features
- Sealed Design: Four-point seal prevents lubricant leakage and contamination ingress
- Misalignment Tolerance: Handles offset, angular, and axial misalignment without binding
- Extended Service Life: Triple-crowned gear teeth and superior grease formulation reduce wear and maintenance intervals
- Versatile Bore Range: Accommodates shaft diameters from 3/4″ to 2-3/8″, supporting multiple OEM configurations
- AGMA Interchangeable: Drop-in compatible with other standard AGMA-rated gear coupling brands
