Before you start any me Before you start any mechanical project it is important you understand each element and have the right tools for the project. When connecting two pieces of equipment together to transmit power you will need to learn what type of coupling to use. In this article, I will be giving you some simple tips to follow so you always use the right coupling solution. As mentioned, coupling is a solution used to join two rotating shafts at their ends so you can transmit power. There are many different types of coupling solutions such as: Sleeve coupling Split Muff Flange Bush Pin Gear Fluid  Tip #1: Choosing the Right Size Once you realize your project requires a coupling solution, be very careful when choosing your components. If even one part is the wrong size (too large and too small) for your setup irreversible wear and tear can happen not to mention premature failure. There are some types of coupling that can handle some misalignment and others that can or will break u

9 Different Types of Couplings and Their Application

If you are eager to understand how your machine works and what couplings are used for, keep reading. We will explain the basic characteristics that will help you get a better idea about the functionality of each one. These are devices that enable the proper work of a machine. When you want to join shafts together you need a coupling. Its purpose is transmitting power. It can provide 2 types of connections: flexible and rigid. Usually, the disconnection of shafts while the operation is in progress is not allowed. However, there are certain types that can, in fact, enable disconnection in certain situations. Also, their purpose is to absorb vibration and shock. The factors that impact the choice of couplings Since there are various couplings, it is important to determine the condition of the misalignment or the movement of the shafts. In cases when the pivot hub is not similar to the shafts, we have a parallel misalignment. The other factor is when the edge is not balanced or
