Flexible coupling

Rolls-Royce provide high integrity designs for flexible couplings used in high pressure areas and are tailor made for naval applications where noise attenuation and shock resistance are required.

The reliable yet flexible pipe couplings accommodate large relative movements and also isolate noise from rotating machinery, particularly important in a submarine environment.

Features and benefits

• High integrity with outstanding reliability
• High quality, corrosion resistant
• Pressure rated up to 100 bar
• Shock compliant and isolates noise
• Designed to ASMEIII

Rolls-Royce designed flexibles have been fitted to Trafalgar and Vanguard class submarines to reduce the noise signature and have been supplied to the Astute programme.

Typical installations

• UK Swiftsure Class
• UK Trafalgar Class
• UK Vanguard Class
• UK Astute Class
