The RINGSPANN WKE coupling is a precision coupling with an elastomeric insert that transmits torque and compensates for misalignment between shafts. It is used in drives where smooth running and overload protection are required. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line in Argentina as exclusive representative of RINGSPANN. If you need a specific size, send us the part number on WhatsApp and we will quote you promptly.

The WKE designation identifies RINGSPANN's series of couplings with elastomeric insert. The number following the abbreviation indicates the coupling size: for example, WKE size 5, WKE size 24 or WKE size 64. Each size accommodates a range of shaft diameters and nominal torque. The elastomeric insert is the part replaced due to wear, and it is often ordered separately. To choose the correct size, have the shaft diameters and the application torque on hand.

These couplings are used in industries such as food, chemical, petrochemical and general manufacturing, in pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor belts and machine tools. In Argentina, they are commonly found in process lines that require soft starts and vibration absorption. Because there are no metal parts in contact, the elastomeric insert reduces noise and prevents wear between hubs. They also protect the drive against torque peaks, because the elastomer acts as a mechanical fuse.

To select a WKE coupling, check the nominal and maximum torque of the application, the shaft diameters and the permissible misalignment. The elastomeric insert comes in different hardnesses; the higher the hardness, the greater the stiffness and the lower the compensation capacity. During assembly, align the shafts precisely before tightening the hubs and verify that the insert seats without forcing. Lubrication is not required for the elastomer, but do check the tightness of the screws and the condition of the insert periodically.

RINGSPANN WKE couplings can be interchanged with other brands of elastomeric couplings of equivalent dimensions, but there is no single standard that guarantees compatibility. Therefore, before replacing one coupling with another, compare the torque, the hub dimensions and the type of insert. If you have the original part number, it is the safest reference. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on the equivalence without compromising the operation of your machine.

If you already know the WKE coupling size you need, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number or model. You can also send us a photo of the nameplate or the old coupling and we will help you identify the part. At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote promptly and advise you so that the replacement is the correct one. You do not need to have the data sheet on hand: the part number is enough.
