100 FLE-PA
The BoWex® 100 FLE-PA is a torsionally stiff curved-tooth flange coupling from KTR-Kupplungstechnik, designed for direct mounting on diesel engines in marine propulsion, generator sets, and industrial machinery.
Produced in D-4440 Rheine, Germany, each original element is marked with BoWex, FLE-PA, >PA6-GF25<, ensuring authenticity and OEM-certified quality.
Technical Data (Catalogue Reference):
- Nominal torque (TKN): 2,050 Nm
- Maximum torque (TKmax): 5,150 Nm
- Standard SAE size: SAE 11.5″
- Material combination: Polyamide >PA6-GF25< with steel hub
- Design: Torsionally stiff, curved-tooth
Key Features & Advantages:
- Torsionally stiff connection – reliable torque transfer without twist.
- Maintenance-free operation – polyamide/steel design with excellent friction coefficients.
- Compact design – suitable for direct mounting to internal combustion engines (I.C. engines).
- Precise alignment – centering through the engine flywheel ensures long service life of both the coupling and the drive train.
- OEM installation options – available in SAE 11.5″ and other standardized dimensions; poka-yoke version on request.
For light inertia drives, a simplified selection is sufficient. For heavy flywheel-driven applications with large inertias, torsional vibration analysis is recommended to ensure long-lasting performance and safety.
⚠️ Only original KTR BoWex FLE-PA couplings guarantee the correct stiffness, material quality, and dimensional accuracy. Non-original copies may look similar and sometimes save the buyer up to 100 EUR on the purchase price, but the risks are far greater. Once such an imitation is mounted on equipment worth 200,000 EUR or more – for example a John Deere harvester – the potential cost of premature wear, vibration problems, or even serious drive train damage far outweighs the small savings. For critical machinery, there is simply no sense in using non-OEM parts that can shorten service life and lead to expensive downtime or repairs.
