The RINGSPANN REK DCO series jaw coupling is a power transmission component that joins two shafts and transmits torque through an elastomer element inserted between metal jaws. It is used to absorb misalignment, dampen vibration and protect the machine against overloads. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as exclusive representative in Argentina, with technical advice to choose the right size and elastomer for each application.

The series designation combines letters and numbers: REK identifies the jaw coupling family, the four-digit number block indicates the size —for example REK 0019 DCO, REK 0024 DCO or REK 0048 DCO— and the suffix DCO distinguishes the assembly or elastomer variant within the line. The higher the number, the larger the coupling size and its torque capacity. To interpret each configuration, send us the full part number and we will verify it against the catalogue information.

These couplings are used in centrifugal pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor belts, mixers and machine tools, among other equipment. In industrial plants in Argentina —food, chemical, petrochemical, cement, paper and water treatment— they appear on motor-reducer baseplates where motion must be transmitted with some tolerance to misalignment and the torque pulsation must be dampened. They are also chosen for mobile equipment and assemblies where axial space is limited.

To select the coupling, take into account the nominal and starting torque, the rotation speed, the shaft diameters and the type of load. The elastomer defines the torsional stiffness and the ability to absorb angular, radial and axial misalignment: choose the compound according to temperature, presence of oils or chemical agents and service hours. During assembly, align the shafts precisely before tightening the hubs, check the axial clearance and avoid forcing the elastic element. Proper lubrication of the adjacent bearings and correct alignment extend the life of the assembly.

Jaw couplings are interchangeable between manufacturers when the size, shaft diameter, allowable torque and elastomer type match. When replacing an existing coupling, compare the full designation, the number of jaws, the hub material and the insert compound; the suffix often changes the behaviour without modifying the mounting dimensions. We can cross-reference the information with the equipment data sheet to find the equivalent variant within the RINGSPANN line.

If you need a RINGSPANN REK DCO series jaw coupling, send us the full part number by WhatsApp —for example REK 0028 DCO or REK 0055 DCO— together with the equipment data: power, speed and shaft diameters. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will reply shortly with the alternative that best suits your application and we will arrange the quote.
