Geislinger GESILCO® DISC Lightweight Coupling

Lightweight, electrically insulating composite membrane coupling for close-coupled gensets and diesel-electric drives, with torque up to 10 MNm and diameters up to 3.5 m.

Description

The Geislinger GESILCO® DISC is a lightweight, maintenance-free composite membrane coupling designed for close-coupled (single-bearing) generator sets, diesel-electric drives and integrated wind turbine drivetrains. It connects the generator to the engine and electrically isolates it, protecting crankshaft bearings from electric corrosion.

Key features

  • Flat membrane of carbon and glass fibres transmits high vibratory torques and radial forces at high speeds
  • Homokinetic, non-magnetic and non-conductive
  • Single disc compensates angular and axial misalignment; two membranes also compensate radial misalignment
  • Low, almost linear reaction forces and high shock resistance
  • Maintenance-free and easy to install; 100% in-house engineering and production in Austria

Technical data

  • Torque range: up to 10 MNm
  • Ambient temperature: -45°C to 100°C
  • Angular misalignment: up to 0.2°
  • Diameter: up to 3.5 m

Applications

Marine (gensets, electric propulsion systems with acoustic insulation), wind power, power generation, rail and industrial applications.
