Did you know?
The design of the ZAPEX ZN coupling’s hub has been optimized with regard to the maximum capacity of the bore range (up to 288 mm). Due to the smaller and more compact size of the coupling, bearings within the driving and driven machine are less loaded. A long service life of the drive can be ensured.
