Flexible couplings are utilized to transmit torque starting with one shaft then onto the next when the two shafts are marginally misaligned.
Flexible couplings can oblige fluctuating degrees of misalignment up to 3° and some parallel misalignment. Likewise, they can also be utilized for vibration damping or noise reduction.
A coupling intended to permit a constrained precise movement between the axis of two waveguides.
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.
