The RUADIGON X-16/140 elastic band is the flexible component that is mounted in the couplings of the X line. Its function is to transmit movement between shafts, absorbing misalignments and damping vibrations, which protects bearings, gears and structures. It is a wear part: with use it deforms or cracks, and it should be replaced before the coupling loses performance. MR Accesorios Industriales carries it as part of its power transmission line, with advice to choose the correct size.

This item is a RUADIGON elastic band identified as X-16/140, which is equivalent to X-200/140. It is the flexible element of the coupling, not the complete coupling: it is the part that is replaced when the assembly begins to vibrate or transmit noise. The designation X-16/140 and its equivalence X-200/140 are the data you need to cross-check with the coupling you already have mounted to make sure the band fits into the housing without forcing. If they do not match, do not force it: consult us and we will look for the corresponding variant.

Coupling elastic bands are used in equipment where torque must be transmitted with a certain tolerance to misalignment: centrifugal pumps, fans, screw compressors, conveyor belts, mixers and machine tools. They also appear in low and medium power drives where a rigid coupling would transmit too much vibration. In industrial plants, they are commonly replaced during preventive maintenance shutdowns, along with the bushings and supports of the same assembly.

To mount the band, first verify that the coupling is clean and free of burrs on the contact faces. The band should go in with slight manual pressure, without blows or tools that mark it. Check the alignment of the shafts: although the elastic element absorbs misalignments, excessive misalignment shortens the life of the band and stresses the bearings. If you notice cracks, hardening or permanent deformation, replace it. Do not mix bands in different condition in the same coupling: all parts must be of the same specification and similar age.

If you cannot find the X-16/140 or need a nearby size, send us the code of the complete coupling, a photo of the old band and, if you can, the measurements of the housing. With that data we will look for the equivalent in the RUADIGON line or evaluate another alternative that fulfills the same function. We can also cross-reference reference X-200/140 if that is the one shown on your equipment. The more precise the information, the faster we will send you the quote.

MR Accesorios Industriales carries the RUADIGON line and the rest of the power transmission components: pulleys, chains, supports and bearings. If you already know you need the X-16/140 elastic band, write to us on WhatsApp with the code and we will quote it. If you have doubts about the equivalence or the condition of the coupling, we can also guide you so that you do not buy a part that does not correspond.
