Theory of Operation
  • Transmit torque through flexible, stainless steel disc packs instead of gear teeth.
  • Compensate for misalignment by deflection of disc packs instead of gear teeth.
  • No wearing parts - flexing instead of sliding.
  • Kop-Flex® design is a pack design with no loose discs to lose.
