Flexible discs, or propshaft couplings, play a vital role in reducing noise, vibration and harshness through the drivetrain which can have a big impact on driving comfort. When it comes to replacing  these components, quality is vital and parts specialist febi says it can offer an effective solution and comprehensive coverage. 

The flexible disc is a torsional flexible rubber disc which forms part of the vehicle’s driveline. They are used in many rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations to transmit torque from the transmission to the propeller shafts, and from there to the front/rear axle differentials. This design of flexible coupling joint is used to absorb impact and shock forces to reduce drivetrain disturbances and prevent angular misalignment.

Torque from the drivetrain is transmitted through loop packages made from special textile fibres using unique Tenpu technology, which are then embedded in vulcanised rubber. This greatly reduces noise, vibration and harshness from the drivetrain and ensures maximum driver and passenger comfort.

All febi flexible discs for propeller shafts are manufactured by O.E. supplier SGF, a global market leader in the automotive sector, ensuring maximum reliability, comfort and first-time fit. These discs offer a number of important benefits. For example, they have extremely high tensile strength and reliability meaning effective damping of torque peaks protecting transmission components.

The products are maintenance-free over their entire service life and have a corrosion resistant treated collar and inner bushes to support bolt fixings. The products are available in Pro-kits for a complete repair solution.
