The flange couplings of the "FK" and "FKB" series from TAS Schäfer are rigid solutions for connecting two shaft ends. This can be as a complete flange coupling, consisting of 2 flange halves and 2 shrink discs or optionally as a half flange coupling, consisting of one flange half and one shrink disc. The main function of a rigid flange coupling is the safe and backlash-free connection of two shafts by means of frictional connection. Flange couplings of the "FK" and "FKB" series can be separated directly at the flanges. This simplifies assembly on the respective shaft ends. The shrink discs mounted on the flange halves create a backlash-free connection by pressing the flange hubs onto the shaft ends. Flange couplings are primarily designed to transmit torques. Bending moments as well as axial forces can also be safely transmitted with the flange couplings type "FK" and "FKB".

The shrink discs mounted on the flange couplings only provide the required forces and do not themselves transmit any forces or torques between shafts and flange halves. They are therefore not in the flow of forces.

Assembly is carried out by sliding the individual flange halves onto the shaft ends and then clamping the shrink discs. In the final step, the individual flange halves are connected by means of bolting.

TAS flange couplings of the "FK" and "FKB" series are used, for example, in marine technology, wind power technology, materials handling technology, mixing and process technology, hydropower technology as well as in crushing plants and elevators.
