The chain coupling is one of the oldest flexible coupling designs still in widespread industrial use ¡ª for good reason. Its ability to transmit high torque from a compact, robust assembly, and its tolerance of moderate misalignment, make it the coupling of choice for...

The service factor is the single most important number in coupling selection ¡ª more important than the nominal torque, more important than the bore diameter, and more important than the coupling type. It is the multiplier that translates the calculated running torque...

A universal coupling — also called a universal joint, Cardan coupling, or U-joint — solves a problem that standard rigid and flexible couplings cannot: power transmission between two shafts that are significantly angled relative to each other, with angular...

The disc coupling occupies a specific and important niche in the coupling world: it is the premium choice where zero backlash and maintenance-free operation must coexist in the same product. Elastomeric couplings provide maintenance simplicity but have inherent...

The jaw coupling — also known as a spider coupling or claw coupling — is the most widely used elastomeric coupling type in Australian industrial maintenance. Its simplicity is its greatest advantage: two hubs with interlocking jaw projections and an elastomeric spider...

The question of which coupling requires no lubrication is one of the most practically important coupling selection questions in industries where maintenance access is difficult, lubrication contamination is a risk, or maintenance-free operation is a commercial...
