REICH Couplings | Your Trusted Source for German-Engineered Flexible Coupling Solutions

If you’ve ever had a coupling fail on you mid-operation, you know the headache that follows — unplanned downtime, costly repairs, and the scramble to find a replacement fast. That’s exactly the kind of situation we help customers avoid every single day.

At SEAWIDE Rubber, we’ve been supplying REICH couplings to marine operators, industrial facilities, and power plants for years. Not because it’s trendy, but because after working with countless coupling brands, we know what holds up under real-world conditions — and REICH consistently delivers.

What is Reich Coupling? The story of a company

REICH-Kupplungen isn’t a newcomer trying to make a name. Founded in Bochum, Germany, this company has been engineering flexible couplings since 1946. That’s nearly eight decades of refining rubber compounds, perfecting torsional dynamics, and solving problems that other manufacturers haven’t even thought about yet.

What struck us when we first visited their facility? The testing. Every coupling series goes through rigorous fatigue testing, temperature cycling, and real-load simulations before it ever leaves the factory. It’s the kind of attention to detail that doesn’t show up in a glossy brochure — but it absolutely shows up in performance.

Over the ensuing decades, Reich Kupplungen experienced continuous growth, establishing itself as a frontrunner in the coupling industry. The company meticulously expanded its product portfolio to encompass a wide range of couplings catering to diverse applications, from miniature machinery to heavy-duty industrial equipment. This company garnered a stellar reputation for its unwavering commitment to quality and exceptional customer service. 

The Technical Side: What Makes REICH Different

Let’s talk specifics, because that’s what actually matters when you’re specifying a coupling for a critical application.

REICH rubber flexible couplings use proprietary elastomer compounds — primarily NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) and NR (Natural Rubber) — selected based on the operating environment. Need oil resistance? NBR. Maximum elasticity and vibration damping? Natural rubber. Operating in extreme temperatures? They offer HNBR compounds rated from -40°C to +100°C.

The ARCUSAFLEX series, which we supply extensively, handles torque transmission up to 2,500,000 Nm. These aren’t numbers pulled from a marketing document — they’re tested, certified, and backed by classification societies including DNV, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, and ABS.

Here’s what a REICH flexible coupling actually does for your system:

• Absorbs torsional vibration before it reaches sensitive equipment
• Compensates for angular, axial, and radial misalignment
• Dampens shock loads during startup and load changes
• Provides electrical isolation between drive components
• Fails gradually (not catastrophically) — giving you warning signs before total failure

That last point matters more than people realize. A poorly designed coupling fails without warning. A REICH coupling shows visible wear patterns in the rubber elements, letting maintenance teams plan replacements during scheduled downtime rather than emergency shutdowns.

 

ARCUSAFLEX

This special model of this company is designed by this company with ATEXwide mismatch compensation technologyspecial drive protection against overload, torque transmission without reaction, high damping capacity, with linear torsion spring and simple plug assembly & Published globally.

RTC COUPLING

RCT coupling can be considered a suitable solution for connecting diesel engines to hydraulic pumps. The coupling element consists of a durable metal inner body with a thin rubber coating that effectively reduces torque shocks and can compensate for the small axial, radial and angular displacements common in flanged hydraulic drives.

ARCUSAFLEX-VSK

In this model, the elements in the stiffness of different torsion springs have been carefully calculated and observed, the clutch bearing of this part does not need to be repaired, it has a compact design The elastic element that is protected by the housing and the possibility of seeing the anti-rotation device from the outside; One of the features of this first class coupling.

 

All Types of REICH Couplings (REICH coupler)

REICH’s extensive product portfolio encompasses a variety of coupling types, each tailored to specific application needs.  


  1. Highly Flexible Couplings

 Reich flexible couplings are a type of mechanical coupling used to connect two shafts together while allowing for some degree of misalignment and absorbing vibrations. They are known for their high quality, durability, and precision, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

  • ARCUSAFLEX® AC:

    These rubber disc couplings are engineered for internal combustion engines, offering linear spring characteristics and exceptional flexibility.  

  • ARCUSAFLEX®-VSK:

    Designed for universal joint shaft mounting, these highly

  • TOK SYSTEM:

    This highly flexible coupling system is ideal for test benches and high-speed applications, offering low torsional stiffness and superior performance.  


  1. Torsionally Flexible Claw Couplings

  • MULTI MONT SELLA:

    These couplings feature a rubber-in-compression design with fail-safe tabs, providing reliable and maintenance-friendly operation.  


  1. Torsionally Rigid Couplings

  • RCT:

    These torsionally stiff flange couplings are designed for precise power transmission in demanding applications.

What We Actually Stock

We’re not a catalog company that orders your part after you pay. As an established REICH distributor, we maintain physical inventory of:

• ARCUSAFLEX coupling elements (C1, C2, C3 series) for marine main engines and gensets
• TOK series couplings for pump and compressor applications
• MULTI MONT SELLA couplings for easy installation without moving connected machinery
• Replacement rubber elements in NBR and NR compounds
• Complete coupling assemblies with hubs, flanges, and hardware

Can’t find what you need in our stock? We source directly from REICH’s Bochum facility, typically with 2-3 week delivery for non-standard items.

Wholesale Program: For Yards, OEMs, and Service Centers

If you’re purchasing couplings regularly — whether for newbuild projects, fleet maintenance, or resale — let’s have a real conversation about pricing.

Our wholesale REICH couplings program exists because we understand how this industry works. You need authentic parts, competitive margins, and a supplier who won’t disappear when something goes wrong.

What wholesale partners get:

• Volume pricing that actually makes sense for your business model
• Priority access to stock during high-demand periods
• Direct technical support — not a call center, but engineers who know the products
• Full documentation: certificates of conformity, material test reports, installation guides
• Flexible payment terms for established accounts

Every coupling ships with complete traceability back to REICH’s factory. Serial numbers, batch codes, production dates — everything your quality department and classification societies require.

A Note on Authenticity

Here’s something we need to say directly: the coupling market has a counterfeit problem.

We’ve seen “REICH” couplings show up at a fraction of the normal price, only for customers to discover the rubber compound isn’t even close to specification. The element fails prematurely, damages expensive equipment, and suddenly that “deal” costs ten times what a genuine part would have.

Every REICH coupling we supply comes through authorized channels. Period. We’d rather lose a sale than compromise on authenticity — because our reputation depends on the products we put our name behind.


Why Customers Keep Coming Back

We’ve been doing this long enough to know that selling a coupling is easy. Earning repeat business is hard.

What we hear from customers who’ve worked with us for years:

“You actually answered the phone and knew what I was talking about.”

“The part showed up when you said it would.”

“You told me the cheaper option would work fine for my application instead of upselling me.”

That’s it. No magic formula — just honest advice, reliable delivery, and products that perform as promised.

Let’s Figure Out What You Need

Whether you’re replacing a worn ARCUSAFLEX element on a vessel that’s already in port, specifying couplings for a newbuild project, or looking for a wholesale REICH couplings supplier you can build a long-term relationship with — we’re here.

Send us your coupling specifications, your application details, or even just a photo of what you’re trying to replace. We’ll get back to you with options, pricing, and honest recommendations.

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

Like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul.

You begin with a text, you sculpt information, you chisel away what's not needed, you come to the point, make things clear, add value, you're a content person, you like words. Design is no afterthought, far from it, but it comes in a deserved second. Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order. Even if your less into design and more into content strategy you may find some redeeming value with, wait for it, dummy copy, no less.
