Couplings

A coupling is a mechanical device used to connect two shafts, enabling them to transmit torque and rotational motion while accommodating misalignment and vibrations.

Couplings are essential in various applications to ensure smooth and efficient operation.

They come in several types, including rigid couplings for precise alignment, beam couplings for flexibility, flexible shaft couplings for accommodating shaft misalignment, and jaw couplings for shock absorption. Chain couplings are robust for heavy-duty applications, nylon sleeve gear couplings provide wear resistance, and taper bore tyre couplings offer cushioning and vibration damping.

Each type of coupling is chosen based on the specific requirements of the machinery and operational conditions.
