Thomas Disc Couplings

Thomas Disc Couplings are torsionally rigid, all-metal flexible couplings that require no regular maintenance or lubrication. Angular, parallel, and axial misalignment are accommodated through flexible disc packs which can be visually inspected without disconnecting equipment.

Thomas couplings are engineered for infinite life and optimized for motor, engine, and turbine-driven applications. With over 100 years of coupling manufacturing history and Rexnord’s dedication to conservative design practices, the Thomas brand is trusted for its reliability on the most critical power train systems.

Features & Benefits:

Compensate for angular, parallel (radial), and axial misalignment
Application flexibility – More than 25 standard sizes with close-coupled, spacer, and floating shaft designs
API 610 / ISO 14691 & API 671 / ISO 10441 compliant designs
Engineered-to-order capabilities for custom features or special requirements

Product

Thomas Series XTSR Couplings

Optimized coupling design delivering low weight and high torque density for general purpose and critical ANSI/API process pump, fan, and compressor drive applications. The modularity of XTSR platform extends across various models to offer broad application coverage:

XTSR52: Non-adapter style spacer model enhances legacy Series 52
XTSR71: Adapter-style spacer model enhances legacy Series 71
XTSRLS: Long span / floating shaft
XTSRS: Single flexing
XTSRGA: Long span gear coupling replacement

Thomas AMR & CMR Heavy-Duty Couplings

Ideal solution for applications with high starting torque, shock loads, and torque reversals. Typically used with engine or motor-driven reciprocating gas compressors.

AMR: Shaft-to-shaft connection
CMR: Shaft-to-flywheel connection

Thomas Series 54 Close-Coupled Couplings

Maintenance-free solution for close-coupled applications where gear and grid style couplings are commonly used.

Series 54RD: Axially-split center spacer permits “replace-in-place” functionality
Series 54RDG: Axially-split center spacer with piloted adapter feature
