A Poly Flex flexible disc transmission coupling provides a damper between gearbox and output flange to isolate torsional vibration from the engine and gearbox. It also reduces the shock of forward and reverse gear changes. Our flexible couplings work in conjunction with the engine mounting systems and provide the softest element in a shaft assembly improving performance and providing a sacrificial link designed to shear before gearbox damage occurs.
While Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounting systems are designed for marine use, these products are utilised in multiple driveline applications. Poly Flex is a respected company within sectors including but not limited to: Marine, Mining, Defence, Industrial, Commercial, Agricultural, and Automotive.
The applications of Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounting systems are listed below:
Marine
Poly Flex has over 200 flexible coupling models with workloads ranging from 10 to 2500 horsepower and over 1600 engine mount models with workloads ranging from 10 to 2000 kilograms per mount. Our flexible couplings are designed to cover a large percentage of gearboxes, such as: Twin Disc, ZF, Dong-I, Borg Warner, Bukh, Newage, Paragon, Technodrive, Volvo, Yanmar, and many more.
Mining
Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounts are widely used on mining sites for generator units and mining vehicles.
Defence
Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounting systems have been commissioned in a multitude of defence vessels and equipment.
Industrial
Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounts have been used in many industrial settings for machinery and equipment. A few examples include industrial washing machines, CNC lathes and mills, and industrial ovens.
Commercial
Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounting systems are used in many commercial applications. Examples include supplying to the Iceland fishing fleet, as seen on World’s Deadliest Catch, supplying for cargo trains and supplying to Hyundai Seasall.
Agricultural
Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounting systems are used in farming machinery and equipment. We also have a Hardy Spicer range, and most Hardy Spicer units are supplied with our flexible couplings.
Automotive
Poly Flex flexible couplings and engine mounting systems have been used in many automotive applications across cars, buses and trucks. We have also supplied flexible couplings and engine mounting systems for classic cars where getting the original replacements is impossible.
With an extensive range of flexible couplings and engine mounts, Poly Flex can assist any industry with advanced polymer technology for vibration control and an Australian made product that is second to none.
