Frank Tracy Division Fire Pump Coupling and Motor Solutions

For years, our Frank Tracy Division has been a leading distributor of bearings and industrial power transmission products to New York City’s standard-setting commercial office buildings, medical centers, and educational and cultural institutions.

Elastomeric in-shear couplings such as TB Wood’s® SureFlex® couplings are one of the most popular coupling types used today, and with good reason. However, this coupling as designed will not support a fire pump’s objective.

Couplings relying on all-elastomeric materials to connect fire pumps have temperature limitations and can fail during a fire, severing the connection between the pump and motor. In fact, the use of all-elastomeric couplings was prohibited in all fire protection standards since 2009.

Solution? Our Frank Tracy Division offers a full range of ROTEX® UL® Listed Couplings from KTR. Reduced Maintenance – Easy to Install – Flexible – Vibration Dampening – Steel Hubs – Inch and Metric.

Does your fire pump coupling depend on an all elastomeric element to connect the motor and pump? Contact us about upgrading to a ROTEX® UL® Listed Coupling today.

In conjunction with ABB®, our Frank Tracy Division offers a special pricing program to select commercial office buildings, medical centers, and educational and cultural institutions on Baldor-Reliance® FPM series fire pump motors, 10HP to 300HP, including T and JP frames.
