Bellow Flexible Coupling

Flexible they may be, but couplings are not a onesize-fits-all proposition – far from it, in fact. Few drive train components are as deceptively simple as a coupling. Two rotating shafts, a coupling to connect the two, and all systems are go – or seemingly so. But unless couplings are specified properly, operations can sputter – sometimes to a halt. In addition to speed and torque transmission, another factor that must be considered is misalignment among connecting shafts Flexible-shaft couplings accommodate misalignment while transmitting torque between shafts through a flexible element sandwiched between a pair of hubs. Depending on the configurations, the couplings also may impart exceptional torsional strength, torsional rigidity, and vibrational damping, as well as low moment of inertia.
