Dampen Vibes with Geislinger torsional coupling from Eaton. The unique design of the Geislinger* Coupling offers a simple, economical solution to torsional vibration problems. Proven worldwide in more diesel driven ships than any other coupling. Using highly elastic leaf springs for torsional flexibility combined with oil displacement damping, the Geislinger Coupling shifts major critical speeds outside of the engine operating speed range and effectively dampens torsional vibrations. Damping is 5 to 10 times higher than a comparable rubber coupling. Since the unit has no axial stiffness, axial vibration cannot be transmitted. Thermal shaft growth and Trademark of Dr. Ing. Geislinger & Co. angular and parallel misalignment are easily accommodated with the standard Geislinger Coupling. Mates perfectly with Airflex® drum-type air clutches for compact installation between the engine and driven machinery. Available in a wide range of sizes from Eaton, exclusive agent in the U.S. and Canada. Write Eaton Corporation, Industrial Drives Division, 9919 Clinton Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44111.
