General description:
BoWex couplings are designed to transmit torque between drive and driven components via curved tooth hubs and a nylon sleeve.
The combination of these components provides a torsionally stiff connection and accommodation for misalignments. This product is
available in materials and elements that are optimized for close coupled applications.
The design of the BoWex allows the nylon sleeve to float independently of the two hubs thus minimizing restoring forces. The result is
a double-cardanic coupling with high torsional stiffness, low inertia and chemical resistance while accommodating large axial move-
ment. Unlike other gear couplings, BoWex does not require lubrication and can be used for shaft to shaft and engine flywheel drive
applications.
BoWex is available in a variety of standard mounting options to accommodate shafts up to 4.813 inches and a maximum nominal tor-
que of 22,120 lb-in while still accommodating blind assembly. As defined by the sleeve, BoWex couplings are suitable for moderate
industrial temperature ranges. All these design features reduce the maintenance required during the life-cycle of the coupling.

Coupling selection
The BoWex coupling is selected in accordance with DIN 740 part 2. The coupling must be selected so that the allowable coupling load is not
exceeded in any operating condition. For this reason, the actual loads must be compared to the capacities of the coupling.

The assembled hubs must always be flush with the shaft ends. If it is difficult to determine the distance dimension E, reference may be made to the overall assembled length.
The shaft ends to be connected should be supported close to each coupling half.
1) The listed distance dimension E must be observed in every case, particularly for parallel and angular misalignments.
2) If the coupling hubs have been shortened or lengthened on the outside, the overall length of the coupling assembled will be reduced by the corresponding figure.
3) The allowable misalignment figures depend on speed and performance.
Prior to operation of the BoWex coupling please make sure that the coupling sleeves are capable of axial movement.
The customer must provide guards in order to ensure that rotating parts cannot cause injury (Safety of Machines, DIN EN 292 part 2).

BoWex - FLE-PA-Flange couplings
for I.C.-engines
Operating description
BoWex FLE-PA General description:
BoWex FLE-PA couplings are designed to transmit torque on flywheel driven appli-
cations via a curved tooth hub and nylon engine flange. The combination of these
components provides a torsionally stiff connection for low driven inertias. This product
is available in materials and elements that are optimized for close coupled applications.
Function and Design
BoWex FLE-PA - couplings, intended for flywheel driven applications, are construc-
ted from materials designed to provide a torsionally stiff solution while optimizing the
BoWex - ELASTIC
balance between coupling performance and ease of assembly. The double-crowned
BoWex - FLE-PA
MONOLASTIC
tooth reduces edge loading while accommodating misalignments and transmitting tor-
que. The compact two-piece coupling design enables the hub to be securely fastened
to the driven shaft eliminating the need for lubrication, reducing fretting and corrosion,
BoWex
while allowing for minimal maintenance in an engine drive coupling.
The two-piece design of the BoWex FLE-PA allows the nylon flange to provide high
stiffness, low inertia, corrosion resistance, and allows for blind assembly. Nylon flan-
ges are available from stock in standard SAE, metric and engine specific configurati-
ons.
BoWex FLE-PA is available in a variety of standard mounting options to accommo-
date flywheels up to SAE 18 and a maximum of 1,075 HP nominal, while still accom-
modating blind assembly. They are suitable for low inertia drives typically found in
hydrostatic applications.

Coupling selection
1. BoWex-ELASTIC couplings should be selected in accordance with DIN 740 part 2. The coupling must be sized to ensure that the maximum
allowable coupling torque is not exceeded during operation. It is therefore necessary to compare the actual loads with the rated parameters
of the coupling according to tables 1.1 - 1.4 listed below.
For drives subject to torsional resonance it is necessary to review the drive by means of a torsional vibration calculation to ensure
proper operation.
Maximum torque TK max. Torque that can be transmitted as dynamic load Vibratory torque TW Amplitude of the vibratory torque effective on the cou-
of coupling 105 times or 5 x 104 as vibratory load, respectively, of machine pling.

Damping power PW Damping power which is effective on the coupling
of the machine due to the load produced by the vibratory torque.
