Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sullivan-Palatek 08516-079?

The 08516-079 is a replaceable drive coupling element used on compatible Sullivan-Palatek rotary screw air compressors.

Compatibility should always be confirmed by checking your manual and verifying the model and serial number before ordering. Not sure? Reach out with your compressor model and serial number and we’ll help confirm compatibility. 

What does the 08516-079 coupling element do?

The element transmits rotational power from the compressor motor to the airend.

It also helps accommodate small amounts of:

  • Angular misalignment
  • Parallel misalignment
  • Vibration
  • Torsional shock

between the motor and compressor.

This helps protect the connected rotating equipment.

What is the purpose of a flexible coupling element?

A flexible coupling element allows the motor and airend to transmit power without being joined by a completely rigid connection.

This helps reduce the effect of:

  • Small alignment errors
  • Starting shock
  • Torsional vibration
  • Motor vibration

on the connected shafts and bearings.

What are the signs that the 08516-079 needs replacement?

Common signs include:

  • Visible cracks
  • Splitting or tearing
  • Missing chunks of material
  • Deformation
  • Excessive wear
  • Coupling noise
  • Increased vibration
  • Excessive backlash between hubs
  • Rubber or elastomer debris inside the coupling guard

The entire drive assembly should be inspected if the element has failed.

Is this an OEM part?

This is an OEM-equivalent replacement coupling element designed to meet the same performance standards as the original Sullivan-Palatek coupling element.  

Do you carry other parts for Sullivan-Palatek?

Absolutely. We stock a range of air filters, oil filters, separators, synthetic oils, and many other maintenance parts for Sullivan-Palatek equipment. If you don’t see what you need, just ask and we’ll help you find it.

How do I know which oil to use in my Sullivan-Palatek compressor?

Stationary rotary screw compressors may have specific oil requirements that differ from reciprocating or portable units. To make sure you’re using the right lubricant for your machine, check out our full guide here: Choosing the Right Oil for your Sullivan-Palatek Compressor. It covers the recommended options for rotary screw compressors and helps you match your compressor with the proper oil.
