Introduction of several types of couplings

    The two shafts connected by the coupling will cause changes in the relative positions of the two shafts due to manufacturing and installation errors, deformation after loading, and the influence of temperature changes, which often cannot guarantee strict alignment. According to whether the coupling has elastic parts and whether it has the ability to compensate various relative displacements, that is, whether the coupling function can be maintained under the premise of relative displacement and the purpose of the coupling, the coupling can be divided into rigid couplings. Flexible Couplings and Couplings. The main types and characteristics of couplings and their function remarks in the transmission system.

    Flexible coupling: a flexible coupling without elastic elements, which can not only transmit motion and torque, but also have different degrees of axial, radial, and angular compensation functions, including gear couplings, universal couplings couplings, chain couplings, slider couplings, etc. The flexible coupling with elastic elements can transmit motion and torque; it has different degrees of axial, radial and angular compensation functions; it also has different degrees of vibration reduction and buffering to improve the working function of the transmission system. Including various non-metallic elastic element flexible couplings and metal elastic element flexible couplings, various elastic couplings have different structures and differences, and their functions in the transmission system are also different.

    Rigid coupling: can only transmit motion and torque, several faults of drum gear coupling and their causes, do not have other functions including flange coupling, sleeve coupling, shell coupling couplings, etc., the calculation of couplings and the role of the two types.
