Featuring good vibration damping characteristics, and a design that simplifies installation, the coupling consists of two hubs, which use a simple clamping arrangement to locate the coupling to the drive shaft, and a spider which is available in two different materials, depending on the application.

End-users can specify between material type 98A, which features good vibration damping, or 64D, which offers good rigidity and high wear resistance.

Currently there are six couplings available in the LN Series range with the ability to deliver a torque transmission range of 60Nm to 405Nm and accommodate shaft diameters from 12mm to 42mm.
