It is generally used to cover the low to medium power ranges up to torque ratings of 64 kNm. The blocks can be used in parallel leading to compactness and making the coupling suitable for high speed operation or in series to provide a torsionally soft coupling and to accommodate large mis-alignments. Advantages of layrub couplings A particular advantage of the Layrub product is the ability it provides to engineer a coupling to suit the application. As well as being able to call upon a large range of standard couplings we are able to arrange the standard blocks into customised design and to tailor the characteristics to suit the application. The large volume of the rubber blocks gives these couplings a relatively low torsional stiffness and good damping characteristics. This makes the Layrub particularly suitable for the control of torsional vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Layrub range is a long established but still unique design based on a range of twelve standard blocks.

The majority of the couplings supplied by Twiflex are for use in a shaft arrangement. Shafts are used when there is a need to bridge a distance between two pieces of equipment. The cardan shaft arrangement also permits much higher levels of misalignment that a single coupling can tolerate. Being self supporting, both Layrub and Laylink couplings are well suited for use in a shaft arrangement. The following shaft arrangements are used and can be supplied by Twiflex: Coupling-plate-coupling (close coupled assembly). Coupling-fixed length shaft-coupling. Coupling-splined shaft-coupling.
