Baldor has announced the expansion of the Raptor tire coupling product line, designed to deliver up to 5.9x longer coupling life, to include sizes E100, E120 and E140, with a maximum torque rating of 340,340 in-lb.

The Raptor coupling uses patented WingLock technology, an optimized elastomeric element designed to provide longer driven equipment life and increased reliability. This technology increases surface area at the most critical regions of the element, resulting in higher bond strength, improved fatigue resistance, and significantly longer coupling life than competitive urethane designs.

A non-lubricated natural rubber element results in lower stiffness, improved vibration damping and industry leading misalignment capabilities. For reduced maintenance, the Raptor offers a split element for easy replacement without having to move or re-align connected equipment. Slotted clamp ring holes offer extra clearance for mounting hardware, resulting in a noticeably easier installation.

Suitable for a broad range of industrial applications, Dodge Raptor couplings are third-party ATEX certified for use in hazardous environments. Raptor elements are also available as an armored element that exceeds ASTM 1149-07 rubber deterioration standards for use in extreme environments.

Available in both close-coupled and spacer designs for a wide range of ANSI and ISO shaft gaps, Raptor couplings are offered with finished bore, Taper-Lock, and QD bushed hubs, with bore sizes up to 9 inches and a torque range up to 340,340 in-lb. Every Dodge Raptor coupling is backed by an industry leading 5-year warranty.
