The couplings are highly elastic, backlash free, absorb shocks and dampen vibrations. Tyre couplings provide all the desirable features of an ideal flexible coupling, including Taper Lock fixing. Tyre coupling is a "torsionally elastic" coupling...
Tyre Couplings are highly elastic, lubrication free couplings that tolerate large amounts of misalignment in all planes Highly flexible couplings transmit torques without circumferential backlash in machines with non-uniform torque characteristic....
