Bibbigard safety element torque limiters incorporate a number of safety element modules of a specific size mounted between two flanges and preset to release at a specified torque value in order to protect the drive system from expensive damage and lost production. They can be used with various types of drive medium many of which are available from Altra Industrial Motion. Bibbigard has been successfully utilized in many different industries where, subject to space availability, the release torque capacity is virtually unlimited.

•	Accurate release torque repeatability
•	Simple fast manual re-engagement
•	Low-cost maintenance
•	Versatile mounting capability

These torsionally stiff, light weight couplings are capable of transmitting high torques at high speeds while accepting significant levels of angular, radial, and axial misalignment. They are easy to install, suitable for hostile environments, require no lubrication and feature a high torque to weight ratio. Specific designs are available which meet the customer’s exact requirements. Standard units are compliant with API 671 (American Petroleum Institute) and ATEX 94/9/EC.

•	No maintenance
•	Standard and reduced moment designs available
•	Capable of being torsionally tuned to suit specific machinery requirements

Floating shaft couplings are specifically designed for long span applications from 24” to over 300”. Tru-Tube composite tubes (shown) can be specified for spans up to 220” (6 meters). Composite tubes weigh up to 80% less than steel and can eliminate the cost of bearing supports and other structures.

•	Horizontal or vertical applications
•	Custom designed to specification

Form-Flex metal disc couplings consist of two hubs, a spacer and two high strength carbon or stainless steel flexible discs. Modified and special designs are commonly supplied to meet specific application conditions. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel or with corrosion resistant coatings.

•	No maintenance
•	Zero backlash
•	Close couple, spacer and floating shaft designs available
•	Easy interchangeability

GC Series couplings feature unitized, straight-sided flexible discs for ease of installation. Up-to-date design targeted specifically for heavy industrial applications. These couplings provide increased torque capacity per size by taking advantage of the latest materials and design technologies.

•	Unitized Flex Packs
•	Easier, faster installation
•	Interchangeable with industry standard designs
•	Fewer sizes to cover a full range of applications
•	Reduced spare parts inventory
•	Lower total cost of ownership
•	Special designs avaiable for higher-torque applications

CECON units are available with a disconnect feature that provides physical separation of the input and output shafts. This allows maintenance to be performed on the non-energized driver while the disconnect CECON is locked out in the disconnect position.

•	Designed for high-speed, continuous operation
•	View port allows visual confirmation of disconnect/connect status
•	Full-speed testing of isolated equipment prior to reconnection
•	Operates in adverse atmospheres
•	Reduced downtime
•	Long Service Life
•	Minimum maintenance
