General Technical Description

The MULTI CROSS FORTE (short form: MCF) is a highly flexible coupling with progressive torsional stiffness. The special characteristic of all MULTI CROSS FORTE couplings is the use of individual transmission elements, which are alike within the same type series, but vary in number depending on the coupling size.

This means that only three sizes of coupling elements are required to cover the entire MULTI CROSS FORTE coupling program with a torque range from 160 Nm to 54 000 Nm. The result is a really simple and therefore cost-effective spare parts inventory. Because of the use of the form-fit bolted elements they can be easily be assembled or disassembled – even with the biggest MULTI CROSS FORTE couplings.

The element bolting principle offers universal combinability, allowing the connection of parts directly to other mechanical parts that have the same connection dimensions.
