GUMMI APF is a coupling reference, within Power transmission. Request a quote for APF via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The GUMMI APF flexible coupling is a power transmission component that connects two shafts and also incorporates a brake pulley. It is used in equipment where motion must be transmitted and braked at the same time, such as overhead cranes, conveyor belts or lifting machines. Its Type A design absorbs misalignments and vibrations between shafts, protecting bearings and gearboxes. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this GUMMI line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you to choose the correct model according to your application.

This item is a GUMMI Type A flexible coupling with brake pulley configuration (APF). It is identified with code APF and is ordered by that model from the manufacturer. The brake pulley is integrated into the coupling, which simplifies assembly by eliminating a separate part. As a flexible coupling, it transmits torque between shafts and compensates for small angular, radial and axial misalignments. The APF designation corresponds to the variant with brake pulley within the GUMMI Type A line.

Typical applications for this coupling with brake pulley are lifting and transport equipment that needs controlled stopping: overhead cranes, hoists, conveyor belts, machines for the food and process industries. It is also used in drives where space is limited and it is convenient to combine flexible transmission with braking in a single assembly. In all cases, the coupling works together with a drum or disc brake that acts on the pulley, and helps reduce impact on the gearbox and bearings.

To select the APF coupling, consider the nominal and maximum torque of the drive, the rotation speed, the shaft diameter and the load type. The brake pulley must be compatible with the existing brake on the machine. Assembly requires aligning the shafts as precisely as possible and verifying the tightening of the connecting elements according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the coupling works in a dusty or humid environment, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the elastic elements.
