Rex Omega Piloted floating shaft couplings are utilized to connect equipment which is relatively far apart. Such arrangements are particularly suited to transmit torque into areas where moisture, dust or corrosive conditions would be detrimental to driving machinery.

Typical applications include cooling tower drives, steel mill roll drives and paper machine drives..

The Omega coupling's floating center member may be either solid or tubular, depending upon the system requirements. The assembly is piloted at each end by a resilient rubber bushing assembly which eliminates the need for intermediate support bearings.

Besides reliability, safety was engineered into the design by incorporation of the captured center member feature, which minimizes the possibility of a catastrophic failure due to fatigue or severe misalignment.

Omega Piloted floating shaft couplings are designed to alleviate situations where excessive misalignment in cooling tower applications are troublesome.

Optional: Backstop rotation device - eliminates windmilling effect. Consult Rexnord.

Consult Rexnord for torsional stiffness data relative to this application.
Equivalent to .026 inches per inch of shaft spacing (L dimension). *Note: Coupling alignment is directly related to equipment and coupling life. Care should be taken for best possible alignment.
