A shaft coupling is one of the most common machine elements<\/a> because it is just so important in power transmission systems<\/a>. Thus, they find use in a variety of applications and service environments.<\/p>\n

As a result, designers and engineers have designed many variations of couplings for specific service conditions and environments over the years.<\/p>\n

This article will familiarise you with the different types of couplings and discuss choosing the right option for your application.<\/p>\n

What is a Coupling?<\/h2>\n

A coupling is a mechanical device that connects similar or dissimilar shafts in machines to transmit power and movement<\/strong>. It is usually a temporary connection (but can be permanent in some cases) and capable of removal for service or replacement. A coupling may be rigid or flexible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
