Renold Couplings launches two new product ranges

Designed for industrial applications, the Hi-Tec RBI range takes the existing RB offering to the next level by incorporating a new block profile to increase torque throughput by 50 per cent.

The new Hydrastart couplings will come complete with Renoldflex so, unlike the current range, it will be a 'drop-in' coupling, enabling the drive assembly to remain in place while the Hydrastart is exchanged. With the only bespoke machining being the bores on the end of the couplings, which is not always required, lead times will be reduced and, in the majority of cases, Hydrastart couplings can be dispatched the same day.

In addition to the two new ranges described above, Renold Couplings is also announcing the Hi-Tec UBI range that will be available from the summer of 2016.

A low-cost, rubber-in-compression coupling range for general industrial applications, the Hi-Tec UBI will be available with standard grade rubber, or the option of a silicone alternative for use in high-temperature applications. The rubbers can be changed in situ when necessary and no further lubrication or adjustment is required.

Tom Hattersley, Commercial Director for Renold Couplings, comments: "The UBI coupling brings the advantages of a Hi-Tec rubber-in-compression coupling into the price point of our standard coupling range. Once again, our aim here is to offer customers more torque capability at a smaller size with lower costs."
