Samiflex Elastic Couplings

About Samiflex Elastic Couplings

Compania Internacional Transmisiones S.A. (CITSA) was established in Barcelona (Spain) at the end of the 70-ies. Their aim was to offer mechanical transmission solutions for industry with elastic coupling Samiflex. The development of Samiflex elastic couplings is the result of 27 years of experience and continuous improvement. Through their involvement with various industrial sectors they have gathered valuable insights and feedback allowing them to refine their products and ensure their effectiveness across different applications.

Through accumulated experience in the field of mechanical transmission they develop Samiflex couplings in all versions as well as provide other coupling.

The new Samiflex elastic couplings provide a significant advantage by allowing the inspection and replacement of the central element without the need to disturb the driver or driven equipment. This feature minimises the maintenance process and reduces downtime making it a convenient option for various applications.

Samiflex elastic couplings have gained wide popularity and are utilized in diverse applications. from light-duty pumps to high-torque drives like Bucket wheel excavators these couplings have demonstrated their versatility and reliability.

Increased productivity by saving time whilst replacing and installation of the central elastic member. Proven its worth under the most difficult operating conditions, Samiflex has been successfully introduced in compressors, paper plants, chemical plants, steel plants.

SAMIFLEX couplings are characterized by:

1. The option of attaching the ring to the elastic insert to prevent it moving axially.

2. The option of working vertically, using the standard retaining ring and the new design of elastic insert.

3. Expansion of the range of polyurethane elastic inserts, colour coded according to characteristic and performance. We would highlight the high-performance elastic insert, with which we have increased the torque rating by 40%.

4. Limited end float coupling for all sleeve bearing motor applications. One of the major advantages of this coupling is that the standard hub can be easily modified for this requirement.

5. Increase of the performance, with the incorporation of the new models A45, A55 and A11.

6. Expansion of the range of materials used in the standard design, incorporating high resistance aluminium alloy, stainless-steel, high-performance polyurethane, shock-resistant polyamide and carbon fibre composites.

Superior Misalignment Compensation

Samiflex Elastic Couplings provide exceptional axial, angular, and radial misalignment compensation, safeguarding equipment against shaft displacement. Their flexible jaw structure ensures smooth transmission even when circumstances cause slight movements, minimizing wear and expanding operational tolerances for improved machine longevity.


Zero Maintenance and Exceptional Durability

These couplings are built for a dry, non-lubricated operation, specifically to eliminate the need for regular servicing. The combination of steel and polyurethane spider delivers enduring performance while reducing downtime, making them ideal for demanding environments and continuous operations.


Vibration Damping for Optimal Performance

Engineered to absorb shocks and curb vibrations, Samiflex couplings provide a more stable operation with reduced resonance. This not only protects sensitive machinery but also ensures a quieter and smoother power transmission, vital for precision industrial tasks.
