Flexible Coupling

A flexible coupling connects two shafts. It transmits torque while accepting small amounts of misalignment and damping torsional vibration.

Types

Elastomer (Centaflex), disc, gear, jaw, beam.

Selection

Driven by torque, speed, misalignment and torsional stiffness requirements.

FAQs

Can a flexible coupling fix bad alignment?
Only within rated limits — and excess misalignment shortens life dramatically.
