4-FLEX COUPLINGS
VARYING SPACE BETWEEN SHAFTS POSSIBLE
Spacer couplings to be used for the most popular dimensions between the two shafts are listed below.
Mixing other flanges will produce additional dimensions.
The spacing indicated in the table Standard is achieved using identical flanges. The Combination table references are with varying type
flanges, and the Semi-Spacer table designates a spacer coupling flange (with a detachable hub) with a standard flange (without a detachable hub).
