Why a flexible coupling? A flexible coupling exists to transmit power (torque) from one shaft to another; to compensate for minor amounts of misalignment; and, in certain cases, to provide protective ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. With so many types of flexible couplings on the market, designers need to understand the differences between them to ...

The difference between flexible shaft couplings and rigid shaft couplings is not just in the terminology but in adsorption of torque. Shaft alignment is key to preventing unnecessary wear and damage ...

Torque spikes can melt elastomers and damage couplings. Learn how to prevent it. Torsional vibration is an occurrence that can have a negative effect on coupling elastomer elements. It can also have a ...
