Use of Couplings in Industrial Sector

Coupling in the machine industry is known for connecting two shafts together and is termed as coupling or shaft coupling or joint. Going further, the coupling is also a mechanical device connecting the adjacent parts or objects. Couplings don’t let the shaft to be disconnected while operating. Then, there are torque limiting couplings that can slip or stop if a particular torque limits are exceeded.

Coupling

The coupling is a type of mechanical equipment used for connecting two shafts together in their end points to transmit power. The primary use of coupling is to join two types of rotating equipment that permits some level of misalignment or end movement. The coupling is rigid or flexible and allows for various angular, radial, and axial deviations between the two shafts.




Major Types of Coupling

There are two main types of couplings - rigid couplings and flexible couplings. Rigid couplings are used for connecting shafts with no deviations or misalignments. Since these couplings cannot absorb any deviation, the shafts are connected by a rigid coupling and offer high lateral and angular alignment. Fluid Coupling or Hydraulic Coupling transfers power to a different shaft and helps in acceleration & declaration of the fluid.

·         Rigid coupling

·         Flexible coupling

·         Sleeve coupling

·         Gear coupling

·         Split muff coupling

·         Flange coupling.

·         Fluid Coupling or Hydraulic Coupling

The major coupling methods include:

·         Common-mode impedance (galvanic) coupling

·         Capacitive coupling

·         Inductive coupling

 

Role of coupling or shaft Connector

·         Transmit power

·         Absorb deviations or misalignments

·         Absorb vibrations and protect the adjacent products

·         Stop transferring motor heat to the driven side
