Dodge Industrial launched its StratoLink disc coupling line as an expansion of the company’s couplings portfolio.
The first model to launch is the D71 Series, which meets API 610 standards and is engineered for maximum torque, simplified rebuilds and interchangeability in existing installations.
The company says the D71 Series offers 26 percent greater torque capacity on average and 11 percent larger bore ranges on average. The model also features a bushing engagement system that eliminates hammering and other unsafe rebuilding practices. Additionally, Dodge says drop-in interchange of the center member assembly allows for easy replacement in existing applications, without needing to modify or move connected equipment.
“For decades, engineers have faced limited choices when specifying disc couplings, and StratoLink changes that,” says Vance Chavis, global product manager for couplings at Dodge Industrial. “By combining higher torque capacity, larger bores, easier rebuilds and drop-in compatibility, we’ve created an exciting new alternative. StratoLink is a powerful example of how Dodge continues to deliver practical innovations that make a real difference for our customers in the field.”
