Flexible Couplings and its Applications
A flexible coupling exists to transmit control (torque) starting with one shaft then onto the next; to make up for minor measures of misalignment; and, in specific cases, to give protective functions.
Thus, industrial power transmission regularly calls for adaptable as opposed to rigid couplings.
At the point when the opportunity arrives to indicate substitutions for flexible couplings, it’s human nature to take a simple way and just discover something comparable, if not identical, to the coupling that failed, possibly applying a couple of larger than average fudge components to be moderate.
Too often, however, this training welcomes a repeat disappointment or costly system damage.
Applications:
At first, flexible couplings separate into two essential groups, metallic and elastomeric.
Metallic types utilize freely fitted parts that roll or slide against one another or, on the other hand, non-moving parts that bend to take up misalignment.
Elastomeric types, then again, gain flexibility from resilient, non-moving, elastic or plastic elements transmitting torque between metallic hubs.
