Dodge Industrial, Inc. announced the launch of its StratoLink disc coupling line, a major expansion of the Dodge couplings portfolio. The first model to launch will be the D71 API 610 disc coupling, engineered for maximum torque, simplified rebuilds, and seamless interchangeability, StratoLink sets a new standard for performance in demanding industrial applications and addresses a critical need for engineers who have had limited options in the past.
- StratoLink is designed to deliver 26 percent greater torque capacity, reducing stress on the disc pack
- It can accommodate 11 percent larger bore ranges, allowing a lighter coupling option than comparable alternatives to extend equipment life and reduce loads
- The patent-pending bushing engagement system eliminates unsafe rebuilding practices, making rebuilds easier and two times faster
- The center member assembly is a drop-in interchange for existing installations, allowing maintenance using common tools, with no modifications or need to move connected equipment
“For decades, engineers have faced limited choices when specifying disc couplings, and StratoLink changes that,” said Vance Chavis, Global Product Manager for Couplings at Dodge Industrial. “By combining higher torque capacity, easy installation, and drop-in compatibility, we’ve created a significant alternative that gives customers confidence in a new option and expands the Dodge couplings portfolio. StratoLink is a powerful example of how Dodge continues to deliver practical innovation that makes a real difference in the field.”
For more than 70 years, Dodge has delivered innovative coupling technologies and is trusted worldwide to extend driven equipment life and minimize downtime. From elastomeric to metallic solutions, Dodge offers one of the broadest coupling portfolios in the industry. With the introduction of StratoLink, Dodge reinforces its legacy of coupling innovation by helping engineers optimize system performance, reduce downtime, and increase productivity in industries ranging from oil and gas to mining, pulp and paper, and power generation.
