ECOLIGHT - Plastic Jaw Coupling Model TX: Function
The equilizing element of an Elastomer Coupling is the convex elastomer insert. It transmits the torque without backlash and vibration. The elastomer insert defines the features of the entire coupling and/or the entire drive system. The ECOLIGHT®-Coupling compensates for lateral, angular and axial misalignment.

Spider Couplings: Specification of the Elastomer inserts
| Type | Shore hardness | Color | Material | Relative damping ( ψ ) | Temperature range | Properties |
| A | 98 Sh A | red | TPU | 0,4 - 0.5 | -30°C to +100°C | high damping |
| B | 64 Sh D | green | TPU | 0,3 - 0,45 | -30°C to +100°C | high Torsional stiffness |
| C | 80 Sh A | yellow | TPU | 0,3 - 0,4 | -30°C to +100°C | very high damping |
The values of the relative damping were determined at 10 Hz and +20˚C.
* Due to the electrically conductiv properties of the insert electrostatically charge of the coupling is prevented. This eliminates sparks during normal operation (Explosive areas). Technical datas available.
