Power Transmission
for Genset power
Your Generator Set Must Reach Operating Speed Within Seconds
A generator set must start and reach operating speed within seconds, without any mechanical component failing under the initial load. The torque fluctuations that occur during startup place significant stress on the coupling between the engine and alternator, gradually wearing its flexible elements. Any misalignment between the two machines further increases these stresses with every operating cycle, reducing coupling service life and overall system reliability.

Our Power Transmission and Coupling Solutions
Ribbed Belts
Our ribbed belts are used in a wide range of power generation systems, from generator sets to wind turbines. Their design transmits power through multiple longitudinal ribs, allowing the use of smaller pulley diameters while maintaining a compact footprint.
As the inventor of ribbed belt technology, we remain the recognized expert in engineering-based drive system design and sizing for this type of transmission.
Flexible Couplings
Our flexible couplings absorb the cyclic irregularities and torque peaks generated during every generator startup.
Their ability to accommodate significant shaft misalignment reduces the need for highly precise alignment between the engine and alternator, simplifying installation and commissioning.
Certain versions can also be radially disassembled without moving the coupled machines, providing a valuable advantage during maintenance operations and helping minimize downtime.
