Applications

In less than 50 years RU-STEEL has introduced his couplings in various industries: petrochemical, paper, textile, cement, etc. The following list of sectors and applications is only partial and incomplete, since Couplings find infinite applications due to different solutions. We would like to point up a thing: otherwise the normal executions, RU-STEEL can build a special execution for that type of coupling, if you require that. 


PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY

RU-STEEL Couplings of the "RS" type are completely metallic, flexible though torsionally rigid, available in various manufactures, with 4, 6 or 8 holes, plain or with two flexible elements. "RSP" manufacture complies with the API 610 regulations (API 671 upon request). It can be applied to Pumps and can be produced in spark and explosion proof versions.  


PAPER INDUSTRY

Various types of Couplings are used in the paper industry. RU-STEEL Couplings of the "RS" type are completely metallic, flexible though torsionally rigid, available in various manufactures, with 4, 6 or 8 holes, plain or with two laminar packs. They are used to guarantee the drive of continuous forms and allow high speed. The "GD" type Couplings applied to beaters allows for under-torque axial movements. Elastic Couplings of the "A" or "ULISSE" series are used for Liquid Pumps. All the Couplings described above enable a quick replacement of frequently consumed parts without having to uncouple machinery;
furthermore they do not need recurrent greasing and lubrication maintenance.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY

RU-STEEL Couplings of the "RS" type are completely metallic, flexible though torsionally rigid, available in various manufactures, with 4, 6 or 8 holes, plain or with two flexible elements find use in the textile industry. Sizeable length spacers can also be manufactured upon design. 


CEMENT INDUSTRY

This industry uses various types of joints. "A" or "ULISSE" series elastic Couplings, "GD" or "ZEUS" series toothed Couplings, "GRM" and "GRFA" rigid joints to connect particularly long shafts. 


CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

This industry uses various types of Couplings. "RS" type Couplings are completely metallic, flexible though torsionally rigid, available in various manufactures, with 4, 6 or 8 holes, plain or with two flexible elements. "RSP" manufacture complies with the API 610 regulations (API 671 upon request). It can be applied to Pumps and can be produced in spark and explosion proof versions. Elastic Couplings of the "A" or "ULISSE" series are used for Liquid Pumps. Ventilation towers use "RS" series Couplings with spacers manufactured upon design, even for sizeable lengths.


FOOD INDUSTRY

For this specific sector we propose alternatives to our standard range, produced in stainless steel, which can satisfy all pairing needs, in conformity with this sector’s hygiene regulations.  


CO-GENERATOR

For generator sets we suggest the "A" series with various flange-mounted three pieces manufactures, which allow for replacement of elastic items without having to uncouple motor and alternator. 


VENTILATION

For application to ventilators we suggest the "RS" type joints which are completely metallic, flexible though torsionally rigid, available in various manufactures, with 4, 6 or 8 holes, plain or with two flexible elements. An alternative can be the "ZEUS" series Couplings.


COMPRESSORS

For application to compressors we suggest the "RS" type Couplings which are completely metallic, flexible though torsionally rigid, available in various manufactures, with 4, 6 or 8 holes, plain or with two flexible elements. An alternative can be the "ZEUS" series Couplings.
