Effi cient power transmission and driveline component
durability are among powertrain designers’ most impor-
tant concerns. Increased durability and up-time are two
characteristics demanded by purchasers of today’s
complex and expensive machinery. These demands can
only be met with reliable, trouble-free, smooth-running
powertrains free from damaging loads which compro-
mise component life.
Powertrain component life is determined by the load
spectrum each component will experience during the
machine’s service life. Reciprocating engines, such as
spark-ignited gasoline and compression-ignited diesels,
produce alternating torque loads which, when super-
imposed on the steady driving torque, create alter-
nating stresses in driveline system components which
shorten component life and reliability. High transient
start-up torques and misalignment caused by skewed
rotational axes between driver and driven in electric
motor, hydraulic and pneumatic drives also cause high
imposed forces on driven components. These unwanted
forces loosen bolted joints and cause spline fretting,
clutch disk wear, bearing failure, gear tooth fatigue and
shaft fatigue, among an array of other problems.
Elastomeric fl exible couplings solve these problems.
They prolong driveline component life because they
reduce the magnitude of imposed loads, attenuate vibra-
tion in multiple planes, accommodate misalignments
in multiple planes, and act as barriers impeding noise
created by meshing gears, engaging clutches, etc.
Elastomeric fl exible couplings are also maintenance-
free. They require no lubrication or other maintenance
throughout their service life. Among the large variety of
coupling types available, LORD Corporation’s elasto-
meric couplings offer the most comprehensive package
of benefi ts available to the powertrain designer. LORD
Corporation’s product lines include fi ve different elas-
tomeric coupling styles which cover a wide range of
application requirements.
Application
Application requirements suggest the coupling style
needed to optimize powertrain performance and
component longevity. Misalignment accommodation,
torsional vibration isolation, transient shock dissipation
and required service life are important parameters
to consider when selecting a coupling to fi ll specifi c
application requirements.

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Dynafl ex® Shear-Type Couplings
Rated: 1/50 to 1 hp at 1750 rpm
LORD Dynafl ex Shear-Type Couplings are compact,
one-piece fl exible couplings economically constructed to
isolate low-frequency vibration and accommodate multi-
directional misalignment.
These couplings reduce the adverse effects of transient
shock torques, torsional vibration, noise and misalign-
ment associated with small equipment drivelines. This
results in longer service life, smoother, quieter operation,
less maintenance, and lower cost for your end product.
Shear-Type fl exible couplings are useful in many small
equipment driveline applications. Multi-directional
misalignment capabilities make them ideally suited for
fractional horsepower drivelines demanding noise reduc-
tion, vibration isolation and maintenance-free operation.
Typical applications include:
• Information Systems – Motor drive, printer rollers,
indexing devices, linear actuator, drives and card
sorters
• Hospital Bed – Actuator drive
• Dynamometer – Driveline
• Tachometer – Driveline
• Pumps, Blowers, Compressors – Driveline
Features and Benefi ts
• High torsional defl ection
• Easy installation
• Versatile application potential - fractional horsepower
couplings are available in a range of sizes to permit
matching a specifi c coupling to your application.
• One-piece construction – convenient for small
equipment with fractional horsepower requirements.
Specifi ed torque rating allows 15° angular defl ection
for excellent vibration isolation.
• Multi-directional misalignment accommodation – elas-
tomeric fl exibility accommodates misalignments up to
1/32 inch parallel, 2° angular.
• Vibration isolation – low torsional stiffness is achieved
with the shear-type fl exible coupling because
the rubber is loaded in shear. This allows for low
system natural frequencies and excellent driveline
disturbances.
• Shock protection – torsional shock loads are attenu-
ated by torsional defl ection of the elastomer. Torsional
fl exibility smooths out rotational disturbances and
protects system components from early fatigue
failure.
• Noise reduction – no metal-to-metal contact; elasto-
meric barrier reduces gear noise, transmission and
motor hum between shifts.
• Maintenance-free – elastomer fl exibility accommo-
dates all motion without metal-to-metal wear, elimi-
nates the need for lubrication.
• Long service life – Dynafl ex Shear-Type Couplings
have proven themselves under demanding service
conditions. Elastomers resist effects of abrasive mate-
rials, oil and grease.
• Attachment – shear-type fl exible couplings are avail-
able in an assortment of bore sizes. Refer to Table 1.
• Constant velocity – inherent design properties
produce a rotational constant velocity.

Dynafl ex® Bushing-Type Couplings
Rated: 10 to 600 hp at 2000 rpm
LORD Dynafl ex Bushing-Type Couplings accommo-
date misalignment, cushion torsional shock, and do not
generate or transmit noise. Since relative motion is taken
in the elastomer rather than sliding metal surfaces, no
lubricant is involved or ever required. Dirt and grit cannot
effect the coupling bushings. The elastomer has been
compounded to provide long service life.
Typical applications include driveline installations where
multi-directional misalignment must be accommodated
and torque loads are medium to high.
Specifi cation, selection and dimension information
provided on the following pages facilitate design of the
coupling assembly. The bushings are standard parts,
and the fl anges can be supplied by the end user or by
LORD as a special design.

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Selection Guide
Compression bushing-type couplings are assembled
by pressing the elastomeric bushings into sockets of a
coupling fl ange. Once assembled, the coupling can be
used two ways:
• Parallel Arrangement
The driving shaft can be connected to all of the bush-
ings, and the driven shaft connected to the coupling
fl ange. This arrangement loads all bushings in parallel
and produces maximum torque capacity and a less
resilient coupling.
• Series Arrangement
This arrangement requires an even number of bush-
ings per fl ange. Mating fl anges of the driving and
driven shafts are attached to alternate bushings. This
arrangement transmits the torque through the bush-
ings in an N x N series arrangement, thereby making
the torque capacity one-half of the parallel arrange-
ment. The coupling is also more fl exible.
When high torque and small space are the control-
ling factors, the parallel arrangement is recommended.
When misalignment is the controlling factor, the bushings
should be applied in series arrangement.
Table 1 provides selection criteria for parallel arrange-
ment, Table 2 provides data for the series arrangement.
Bushing selection is dependent upon torque require-
ments, angular, parallel and axial misalignments, as well
as bolt circle diameter, number of bushings and bushing
size. The torque values shown on the charts are nominal.
The bushings are capable of withstanding higher torques
due to the shock loads or other short duration surges.
Torsional Flexibility
Bushing-type couplings are relatively stiff torsionally
compared to other elastomeric couplings. The torsional
spring rate of a coupling assembly can be calculated by
using the equation and data provided on the curves.
Example
Required torque capacity – 3400 lb-in

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Dynafl ex® LCR Series Couplings
Rated: 4 to 135 hp at 2000 rpm
LORD Dynafl ex LCR Series Couplings are ring-type
couplings developed to overcome numerous torsional
problems associated with vehicular and industrial drive-
line systems. These easily installed couplings reduce
noise transmission and increase bearing and driveline
life through greater misalignment accommodation,
isolation of low frequency disturbances, and isolation of
torsional shock.
These highly fl exible elastomeric couplings for acces-
sory drives are also designed to eliminate lubrication and
maintenance.
Features and Benefi ts
• Misalignment accommodation – elastomeric fl exibility
allows for large angular misalignment. For permissible
misalignments, including axial and radial, Refer to
Table 1.
• Vibration isolation – low torsional spring rate is
achieved with the elastomeric ring-type coupling
using rubber in compression. This allows for low
system natural frequencies and isolation of fi rst mode
driveline disturbances in most driveline systems.
• Shock protection – isolates torsional shock, prevents
backlash and protects system components, including
bearings, from fatigue failure.
• Long service life – Dynafl ex LCR Series Couplings
have proven themselves under demanding service
conditions.
• Maintenance-free – elastomer fl exibility accommo-
dates all motion without wear, eliminates the need for
lubrication.
• Noise reduction – no metal-to-metal contact; elas-
tomer attenuates structure-borne noise and isolates
vibration from components that would act as noise
generators.
• Systems Engineering – LORD has in-house computer
capabilities for multi-torsional analysis to assist in
proper coupling selection.

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Typical Applications
Dynafl ex LCR Series Couplings are useful for a wide
range of rotary drive applications, from lawn and garden
tractors to large construction equipment, including U-joint
replacement. Typical applications include:
Typical End Product Application
Farm Tractor Trouble-Free Hydraulic Pump Devices
Lawn & Garden Tractors Maintenance-Free Main Drive Couplings
Dynamometer Protects Driveline from Failure
Snowmobile Reliable Main Drive Coupling
Vibratory Rollers Absorbs High Torsional Shock Loads in
Eccentric Drive Units
On- & Off-Highway Isolates and Protects Vehicles Auxiliary
Driveline Systems
Industrial Machinery Provides Inexpensive Coupling for
Maximum Angular Misalignment and
Vibration Control
Agriculture Equipment Replaces Conventional Universal Joints
and Provides Torsional Flexibility
Dynafl ex LCR Series Couplings were designed and
developed by LORD and have been in service since the
early 1960s. The basic concept was intended for specifi c
applications requiring low-cost, fl exible couplings to
accommodate all forms of misalignment and provide
torsional resilience.
The coupling design incorporates metal inserts bonded
in an elastomeric ring, which loads the fl exing element
in compression to transmit torque. Misalignment motion
is accommodated by defl ecting the elastomer in shear,
which allows extreme misalignment without high reaction
forces.
They are ideally suited for light-duty elastomeric universal
joints, particularly where noise reduction or shock attenu-
ation is required.
Absence of metal-to-metal contact through the coupling
eliminates the need for lubrication and maintenance,
while also reducing noise transmissions. Installation
is accomplished by insertion between simple parallel
fl anges. This lightweight coupling element can be
arranged in a single or double series confi guration to
match specifi c torsional stiffness and misalignment
requirements.
Static Load Defl ection Characteristics of
LCR-300-600-046A Reference Curve
Ring-type couplings isolate torsional vibration and
reduce the harmful effects of torsion shock. Torsional
resilience is one important characteristic. Figure 1 shows
the torsional spring rate.
Accommodating axial misalignment along the axis of
shafts without high reaction forces is a unique feature
of ring couplings. Figure 2 shows this load defl ection
relationship.
Ring-type couplings accommodate parallel misalign-
ment with relatively low radial reaction forces imposed
on driving and driven equipment. Figure 3 shows typical
radial load defl ection curves. Load defl ection charac-
teristics for other LCR couplings are available upon
request.

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Specifi cations
Materials: The elastomer used in Dynafl ex LCR Series
Couplings is high-quality natural rubber, which meets
LORD specifi cations (available upon request) and
exceeds SAE standards. Natural rubber is used because
of its excellent physical properties such as tensile
strength, tear and abrasion resistance, fatigue resistance
and low temperature characteristics. Other elastomers
are available to meet special applications needs. The
elastomer-to-metal bonds are even stronger than the
elastomers.
Dynafl ex LCR Series Couplings listed on the following
pages have aluminum alloy inserts. Many other
insert confi gurations are possible to meet attachment
requirements.
Environmental: Ring-type couplings will perform satis-
factorily when exposed to the normal fl uid, temperature
and other environmental conditions found in drive-
line systems. Special oil-resistant elastomers can be
provided where total or partial oil immersion is necessary.
For operation in ambient temperatures exceeding 170°F
(77°C), consult LORD Engineering.
Misalignment: Misalignment capability applies for
speeds up to 3500 rpm. Operation up to 7000 rpm is
permitted with reduced misalignment (consult LORD
Engineering).
Note: For speeds above 4000 rpm, shielding is required
and/or balancing of assembly may be required.
Installation: Normal installation involves simple through
bolt attachment to fl anges. For fl ywheel attachment appli-
cations, metal inserts can be tapped/counter-bored to
permit easy installation.
Remote Driven Units: Multiple U-joint shafts (especially
longer shafts) and the speed at which the shaft rotates
(especially higher rpm’s) can create complex stability
problems. To assure satisfactory coupling performance,
all design layouts for remote mounted driven units should
be reviewed by LORD Engineering. LORD analytical
capability is only one part of the engineering service
available on all coupling applications.
LCR ring-type couplings can be selected based on
horsepower or maximum torque requirements. The data
listed on the next page provides the necessary informa-
tion to select a coupling and design it into your system.
New equipment designs and retrofi ts involving recipro-
cating engine drives and unusual driveline arrangements
should be analyzed to avoid potential vibration and
misalignment problems. Contact LORD Engineering for
assistance.

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Dynafl ex® LCD Series Couplings
Rated: 75 to 2000 hp at 2000 rpm
LORD Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings have been
developed to overcome numerous torsional problems
associated with vehicular and industrial driveline
systems. These couplings increase equipment life
by protecting against torsional vibration, shock and
misalignment.
Typical application attachments include:
• Flywheel to shaft
• Flywheel to hub (splined)
• Shaft to shaft
• Floating shaft
Features and Benefi ts
• Protection from torsional shock loads
• Design fl exibility
• Safe for occasional severe overloads
• Vibration isolation – extremely low torsional spring
rate is achieved with the Dynafl ex LCD Series
Coupling, using elastomer in shear. This allows for low
system natural frequencies and isolation of fi rst mode
driveline disturbances.
• Damping at resonance – the elastomer used in
Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings effectively reduces
vibration at resonance.
• Shock protection – torsional shock loads are attenu-
ated by large shear defl ection of the elastomer. In
the case of severe overloads, equipment damage is
prevented by slippage between the elastomer and
the outer housing.
• Misalignment accommodation – elastomer fl exibility
allows for angular, parallel and axial misalignment.
• Long service life – Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings
have proven themselves under demanding and
rugged service conditions.
• Maintenance-free – elastomer fl exibility accommo-
dates all motion without wear, eliminates the need for
lubrication.
• Noise reduction – no metal-to-metal contact; elas-
tomer attenuates structure-borne noise and isolates
vibration from components that would act as noise
generators.
• Attachment – fi ts many standard SAE fl ywheels.
• Design fl exibility – standard rubber molds are used
to produce each different size coupling shown in
this catalog. Often it is necessary to change metal
components for custom applications. This is common.
• Systems Engineering – LORD has in-house computer
capabilities for multi-mass torsional analysis to assist
in proper coupling selection.

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Standardization of Proven Concept
Using the experience gained in designing and producing
special Dynafl ex couplings, LORD has developed a new
standard product line of heavy-duty Dynafl ex couplings.
These couplings have a specially designed elastomeric
element bonded to a metal inner member which is then
preloaded and friction-fi t into an outer member.
This unique concept provides low torsional spring rates
which effectively isolate critical vibratory disturbances in
driveline and accessory systems, thus prolonging equip-
ment life. Misalignment and torsional shock loads are
absorbed by shear defl ection in the elastomeric element.
The ability of the coupling to slip at the outer member
with short duration shock overloads protects the drive-
line and accessory components from premature failure.
The Dynafl ex LCD Series Coupling has been particularly
successful for diesel driven applications.
Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings are available in 75 to
2000 hp ratings at a nominal 2000 rpm. Each size is also
available in two stiffness values. These are referred to
as the A and C stiffness values. The C stiffness parts are
normally stocked.
Load Defl ection Data
Figures 1 through 3 illustrate the torque or load versus
defl ection characteristics for the -A and -C stiffnesses of
the LCD-0400 size couplings. The general characteristics
of these curves are typical for all Dynafl ex LCD Series
Couplings.
Figure 1 shows the linearity of the coupling spring rate
at (and well above) the rated capacity of 12,500 lb-in
torque. The curves also demonstrate the unique overload
slip characteristic at about 60,000 lb-in torque. It should
be noted, however, that the overload protection results
from slipping of the coupling. This slipping generates
heat, and therefore continuous running at overload could
be injurious to the coupling.
Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the fl exibility of Dynafl ex LCD
Series Couplings to accommodate axial and radial
misalignment. The -A variation is made in a softer elas-
tomer to produce a lower torsional spring rate and there-
fore had the lower axial and radial spring rates. All spring
rates are ideally linear over the normal operating range of
defl ection.

DYNAFLEX ELASTOMERIC FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Dynamic Torsional Stiffness, Kθ
The dynamic torsional stiffness is higher than the static
stiffness at room temperature. When the LCD Series
Couplings are attached to diesel engine fl ywheels, the
elastomer gets warm. At an operating temperature in the
170° to 200°F range, the dynamic stiffness is nearly the
same as the static stiffness at room temperature. The
stiffness values shown in the performance characteristics
chart are for computer modelling and in other types of
torsional analysis work.

Curves of other LCD parts show similar characteristics
and are available upon request.
Typical Applications
Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings are useful for a wide
range of rotary drive applications, from off-highway truck
drivelines to auxiliary compressor drives on diesel loco-
motives. The soft torsional stiffness of these couplings
makes them ideally suited for diesel applications with
remotely mounted driven components. Typical applica-
tions include:

Prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 0°F range and
below produces a signifi cantly reduced slip torque prior to
driveline warm-up. This condition may result in the coupling’s
inability to transmit adequate drive torque for applications
experiencing unusual cold temperature related parasitic
loading.
Blind assembly style with a notched periphery provides
trouble-free, sliding assembly on fl ywheel drive pins when
bolted access is not possible. Outer member is a composite
material.
Use Wood’s Sure-Grip® Bushing type SK or equivalent.
See detail drawings by part number for tolerances.
Pilot diameter tolerances are + .000/ -.005 in for -A Series
diameters and + .005/ -.000 in for -C Series diameters.
Tapered.
Refer to SAE J620c for fl ywheel numbers 6-1/2, 10, 11-1/2,
16; to SAE J927a for numbers 60, 80, 100, 120, 160. See
Tables 5 and 6.
Unless otherwise noted:

Prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 0°F range and
below produces a signifi cantly reduced slip torque prior to
driveline warm-up. This condition may result in the coupling’s
inability to transmit adequate drive torque for applications
experiencing unusual cold temperature related parasitic
loading.
Blind assembly style with a notched periphery provides
trouble-free, sliding assembly on fl ywheel drive pins when
bolted access is not possible. Outer member is a composite
material.
Use Wood’s Sure-Grip® Bushing type SK or equivalent.
See detail drawings by part number for tolerances.
Pilot diameter tolerances are + .000/ -.005 in for -A Series
diameters and + .005/ -.000 in for -C Series diameters.

Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings
Installation Guide
Specifi cations
Materials: The elastomer used in the Dynafl ex LCD
Series Coupling is a high-quality natural rubber which
meets LORD specifi cations (available upon request) and
exceeds SAE standards. Natural rubber is used because
of its excellent physical properties, such as tensile
strength, tear and abrasion resistance, fatigue resistance
and low temperature characteristics. The elastomer-to-
metal bonds are even stronger than the elastomers.
Standard LCD catalog parts are all made in two stiff-
nesses of natural rubber. The A elastomer is per LORD
Spec MAP092, having a durometer of approximately
45. The C elastomer is LORD Spec MAP094, having a
durometer of approximately 57. The metal parts for this
series are of alloy steel or ductile iron.
Environmental: Extensive experience with similar
parts indicates that heavy-duty Dynafl ex couplings will
perform satisfactorily when exposed to the normal fl uid,
temperature and other environmental conditions found in
driveline systems. For operation in ambient temperatures
exceeding 170°F (77°C), consult LORD Corporation.
Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings are often recommended
for use in applications where the temperature is above
170°F (77°C). Temperatures above 200°F (93°C) could
present problems. Customers should know what the
ambient operating temperature is and whether addi-
tional air circulation can be provided. Consultation with
LORD Corporation engineers is necessary if the ambient
temperature is above 170°F (77°C).
Misalignment: Misalignment capability applies to
speeds up to 2500 rpm. Operation up to 3500 rpm
is permitted with reduced misalignment. (Consult
LORD when a potential application requires special
consideration).
At normal rated operating conditions, the Dynafl ex
LCD Series Couplings are designed to accommodate
misalignment.
Angular: 1-1/2° maximum
Parallel: 1/64 inch
Axial: +1/16 inch dynamic
+1/8 inch static
Testing/Performance: Periodic load defl ection tests are
run to assure consistency of torsional spring rate and slip
torque characteristics.
Damping Coeffi cient, Cθ: The natural rubber elastomer
used in LCD couplings offer hysteresis damping which
dissipates energy at resonance.
The “damping coeffi cient” is a function of many vari-
ables. Among them are dynamic strain, frequency,
elastomer type and stiffness, temperature and torque
loading. Damping coeffi cients for this series have been
determined and can be provided for torsional analysis
work by contacting LORD.

This arrangement must not be used. Suitable bearing
supports are required to react cardan-induced cocking
loads. Consult LORD Engineering for application review.
Installation
For engine applications, the outer member is usually
bolted directly to the fl ywheel; for other applications, to
a suitable adaptor. The inner member normally attaches
to the driven shaft. The smaller LCD couplings generally
have a tapered bore, which accommodates a standard
split tapered bushing which grips the drive shaft. (Refer
to Table 1 - Split Tapered Bushings). This confi guration
provides easy installation.
Figures 15 and 16 on the next page show typical
installations involving universal joints.

Dynafl ex LCD Series Couplings
Torsional System Analysis Input
Requirements
Dynafl ex couplings offer unique advantages with the
soft torsional spring rate that isolates torsional vibration,
mitigates shock and reduces noise transmission. In order
to benefi t from these advantages, an analysis must be
made of the application and a coupling selected which
meets the specifi c requirements. The following checklist
sets forth the information required to initiate the analysis:
Application Data
• What is the driving unit, driven unit? Include enough
information to determine disturbing frequencies
(e.g., type of engine, number of cylinders, number of
cycles).
• What is the operating torque (normal, maximum)?
• What is the operating speed (range, at normal torque
and at maximum torque)?
• What are the environmental conditions (temperature,
oil type and amount of exposure, corrosive factors,
other factors)?
Coupling Requirements
• What are the primary functions of the coupling
(torsional vibration isolation, torsional shock
mitigation, noise attenuation, shaft misalignment
accommodation – angular, parallel, axial)?
• If known, what torsional spring rate should the
coupling have?
• If the required torsional spring rate is not known, what
are the rotational moments on inertia of the driving
and driven masses?
• How much misalignment must the coupling
accommodate (angular, parallel, axial)?
• How much, if any, axial thrust will be on the coupling?
Design Parameters
• What space is available for the coupling (maximum
length, diameter)?
• What is the maximum weight the coupling can be, if
weight is limited?
• What are the shaft diameters and method of
attachment (keyway, spline, set screws, fl ange)?
• What special features are required? (Inner member
design – hubs, fl anges, splines, etc. Outer member
design – pilot diameter bolt pattern, etc.)
Remote Driven Units
Multiple U-joint shafts (especially longer shafts) and
the speed at which the shaft rotates (especially higher
rpm’s) can create complex stability problems. To assure
satisfactory coupling performance, all design layouts
for remote mounted driven units should be reviewed
by LORD Engineering. LORD analytical capability is
only one part of the engineering service available on all
coupling applications.
What Else?
If your application is unique or unusual, include any
information that you believe will have an effect on the
coupling design or selection. If you have any questions
as you prepare this data, call us. See following page for
data form.
