Showing Results For: Flexible Couplings
Flexible couplings are mechanical devices that connect two shafts together while allowing a certain degree of misalignment, axial movement, or torsional vibration between them. They are designed to transmit torque from one shaft to another while compensating for any misalignment or occurring movement. Flexible couplings typically comprise two hubs or flanges, one attached to each shaft and a flexible element in between. The flexible element can be made of various materials, such as elastomers (rubber), metals (steel), or a combination of both. The material choice depends on the specific application and the coupling’s desired properties.
The primary purpose of a flexible coupler is to transmit power and rotational motion between two shafts while minimising misalignment effects. Misalignment can occur due to various factors, such as thermal expansion, manufacturing tolerances, or external forces acting on the system.
A Coupling, or coupler, is a mechanical device designed for power transmission by connecting two rotating shafts together. Couplers can be rigid or flexible couplers widely used in motor control applications, including vehicles, machinery, and other mechanical systems.
Rigid and flexible coupling differ based on their functions and adhered properties. Rigid couplings are used for precise alignments, requiring no movement between the rigid coupler and the shaft. On the other hand, flexible couplings provide a certain degree of flexibility in motion and misalignment between shaft couplers.
Flexible couplings offer several benefits in various mechanical systems. Some key advantages of using flexible couplings include:
There are several types of flexible couplings available, including:
