Couplings are mechanical devices that are used to connect two shafts together in a power transmission system. They are used to transmit torque from one shaft to another while allowing for some misalignment, vibration, and shock absorption between the shafts.
Here are some examples of where couplings are used in mechanical power transmission:
- Motors: Couplings are used to connect the motor shaft to the driven equipment, such as pumps, compressors, and conveyors. They allow for some misalignment between the shafts while transmitting torque from the motor to the driven equipment.
- Gearboxes: Couplings can be used to connect the input and output shafts of a gearbox. They allow for some misalignment between the shafts while transmitting torque through the gearbox
- Power transmission systems: Couplings can be used in power transmission systems to connect different components, such as pumps, compressors, and generators. They allow for some misalignment and shock absorption between the components while transmitting torque through the system.
Couplings are important components in mechanical power transmission systems, allowing for some misalignment, vibration, and shock absorption between connected shafts while transmitting torque. They are used in a variety of applications, including motors, gearboxes, drive shafts, and power transmission systems.
