MANUFACTURED BY Dodge Industrial

Dodge Industrial Inc. announced the launch of its StratoLink disc coupling line expanding the company’s couplings portfolio. The first model, the D71 Series, meets API 610 standards and is designed for high torque, easy maintenance and compatibility with existing installations.

StratoLink sets a new performance standard for disc couplings, giving engineers an alternative for critical industrial applications. Its key features include:

• An average of 26 percent higher torque capacity than existing designs
• About 11 percent larger bore ranges than previous models, allowing for lighter couplings that reduce loads and extend equipment life
• A patent-pending bushing engagement system that removes the need for hammering and other unsafe rebuilding methods, making rebuilds simpler and up to twice as fast as loose disc pack couplings
• A drop-in interchangeable center member assembly that enables easy replacement in existing applications without modifying or moving connected equipment

For more than 70 years, Dodge has provided coupling technologies trusted worldwide to extend equipment life and reduce downtime. From elastomeric to metallic solutions, Dodge offers a broad range of couplings for industrial use. With the introduction of StratoLink, Dodge continues its work in coupling design, helping engineers improve system performance and productivity in industries such as oil and gas, mining, pulp and paper and power generation.
