🔧 Highlights

• Torsionally Soft & Vibration Damping: The polyurethane membrane cushions shock and vibration, extending equipment service life

• Easy Maintenance: Split element halves mean quick replacement without dismantling the entire coupling

• Flexible & Interchangeable: Works with standard hubs; metric capscrews; reversible hubs and hole positions mean you can adjust shaft spacing without special hardware

• Chemical and Aging Resistance: Polyurethane formula holds up better than traditional elastomers

✅ Summary

The VS170 spacer element is built for mid-range industrial torque applications (~308 Nm) and shaft separations around 54 mm. It’s well-balanced for performance, longevity, and maintenance ease.

Considerations Before You Buy

• Gap size: 54 mm — if your shafts are farther apart, look into extended spacer (VSX170) versions.

• Material: Polyurethane — excellent durability, but not suited for high-temperature (above 200 °F) or chemically harsh environments.

• Hubs/Shoes: Make sure your coupling hubs match VS170 size and type.
