4. CLOSE TOLERANCE CONNECTING BOLTS       

5. 'O' RINGS

6. LUBRICATION PLUGS

CONSTRUCTION:
Full Gear type AFG Allflex Flexible Gear Coupling consists of two identical toothed hubs, two identical flanged sleeves with internal teeth, a flange gasket, a set of flange bolts nuts and lockwashers, four lube plugs with Alluminium gaskets and two oil/grease retaining Nitrile 'O' rings over the hubs.

For couplings upto size 110 flanged sleeves are made from closed die forgings and hubs from EN9/C55 steel. For the bigger couplings the sleeves are made from grade 1 cast steel and hubs from forged steel.

The flanged sleeves are identical and interchangeable and are connected with each other by means of tight fitting close tolerance bolts in jig drilled and jig reamed flange bolt holes.

The use of 'O' rings for sealing of oil/grease eliminates the necessity of dismantling the hubs from shafts for changing the oil retaining 'O' rings.
