Coupling Types, Performance Requirements and Selection
Couplings, a mechanical component used to firmly connect the driving shaft and the driven shaft in different mechanisms to rotate together and transmit motion and torque. The coupling can also compensate for the offset (including axial offset, radial offset, angular offset or comprehensive offset) between the two shafts due to inaccurate manufacturing and installation, deformation during operation or thermal expansion, etc.; and shock mitigation and vibration absorption.
